Our 2015 Distinguished Alumni
Awardee - Don Bachardy
Born in Los Angeles, California, Don Bachardy grew up in Atwater and
graduated from John Marshall High School in the Summer Class of 1952.
Bachardy studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Slade
School of Art in London. His first one-man exhibition was held in October 1961
at the Redfern Gallery in London. He met the writer Christopher Isherwood on
Valentine’s Day 1953, when he was 18 and Isherwood was 48. They remained
together until Isherwood’s death in 1986. A number of paperback editions of
Isherwood’s novels feature Bachardy’s pencil portraits of the author. A film about
their relationship, titled Chris & Don: A Love Story, was released in 2008.
Don has had many one-man exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Seattle, Houston and New York. More recently, he exhibited at the Huntington
Library in San Marino, California, in 2004.
His works reside in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in New York, the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum of Art in San Francisco,
the University of Texas, Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San
Marino, California, the University of California, Los Angeles, the Fogg Art
Museum of Harvard University, Princeton University, the Smithsonian Institution,
and the National Portrait Gallery in London.

President’s
Message...
Since the Alumni Association’s first newsletter in
1980, our aim has been
to keep alumni connected
and informed. Before there was Facebook
or Twitter, there was an alumni newsletter!
We kept up with the stellar accomplishments
of our historic school. We shared moments
of triumph of former and current Barristers.
We shared the grief of losing old friends and
classmates.
As the years went by, the number of alumni
receiving the newsletter grew. Unfortunately,
so did the costs of producing newsletters.
Now, thirty-five years later, we face a dilemma.
The rate of donations to the association has
not kept pace with the rate of inflation.
We send out approximately 11,000 newsletters each time to alumni all around the
world. However, not all of these recipients
are dues-paying members of the association.
Our policy has always been to keep in touch
with all alumni for whom we have an address.
Other alumni associations only send their
newsletter to dues-paying members.
We have already instituted some cost-cutting strategies. We used to send three newsletters per year and now we only send two.
We encourage our alumni to request the
newsletter electronically, and about 1,000 of
you have responded to that suggestion. We
continue to solicit advertising from our alumni
to offset some of the costs of publication.
The cost per issue is about $7175. That
includes printing, postage, and paying for
returned newsletters with bad addresses.
If you are not current in your dues, please
consider signing up now. A mere $25 per year
would help us to keep sending the newsletter
to everyone on our list. Check the address label on your newsletter to determine your dues
status. If you are a life member, a “sweetheart” donation toward the newsletter would
be deeply appreciated.
You can pay your dues by check to our
post office box or by PayPal if you have an
account. Go to www.paypal.com and send
your payment to johnmarshallla@gmail.com
with a note in the comment box that indicates
what the donation is for.
We take very seriously our mission of
keeping alumni connected. With your help
we can continue to do so.

Jose Vargas W’43
September 3, 1924 - September 22, 2014
Jose Vargas, Class of W’43, and president of the JMHS Alumni Association from January
1997 through December 1998, passed away on September 22, 2014, after a long illness. He
was 90 years old. Jose earned his degree from UCLA and spent his career mostly in the nonprofit/social services sector. During Jose’s tenure as president, he encouraged the Alumni
Board to expand the range of activities for alumni and contributions to the school.
Among the projects of which Jose was most proud was the association’s donation to the
Marshall Woodshop Class so that they could participate in Habitat for Humanity, building
homes for the homeless. Also, it was during his term that the football stadium was named in
honor of Marshall’s only NFL Hall of Famer, Mike Haynes ’71.
In 2002 Jose arranged for a diploma to be presented to Manabu Sakamoto, who would have
graduated in the Class of 1943. Unfortunately, Manabu and his family, Japanese-Americans,
were uprooted from their home, along with thousands of other Japanese-Americans, after the attack on Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941. They were placed in a heavily restricted environment for the duration of World War II. During his
time in the relocation camp, Manabu continued his education. As soon as he could, he enlisted in the US Army to serve
the country of his birth as part of the US Army of Occupation in Germany. Manabu returned to the US, attended UC
Berkeley, and earned his degree in Landscape Architecture. He had a successful career serving the state of California
Highway Department by designing the landscaping of the freeways throughout the state. But he missed having a high
school diploma.
Jose and fellow classmate Paul Jacobs met with then Principal Tom Abraham, who made the arrangements for Manabu
to graduate with the Class of 2002 at the Greek Theatre. Manabu, in a brief speech to the graduating class, expressed
his appreciation for this act of “delayed recognition.” It was a proud day for Jose and for the entire alumni association.
Jose inspired his fellow alumni with his innovative ideas and energy. Coming from many years as an administrator in the
non-profit sector, he brought a fresh perspective to the alumni association.
His was a life dedicated to social justice and community service.
Jose leaves his beloved wife, Frances, their seven children, and sixteen grandchildren.
Michael Carone S’38
October 13, 1920 - January 4, 2015
Michael Carone passed away on January 4, 2015 at the age of 94. He will be remembered
for his love of his family and for his commitment to serve his community and his country. He
was born in Los Angeles on October 13, 1920.
Mike graduated from John Marshall High School in the Summer Class of 1938 and
continued to support the school in many ways. Mike was named the 1993 Distinguished
Alumnus, not only for his charitable work for Marshall but also as founder and president
of Mikron Products, Inc. He was an engineer, an inventor, an innovator, and a community
leader.
Mike was on the John Marshall High Alumni Board of Trustees for many years, organizing
his class reunions and spearheading the 1995 major campaign to raise funds for the restoration of the 1937 Joseph M. Sniffen Auditorium. He personally wrote 3000 letters to alumni,
asking for donations to refurbish the auditorium. Hoping to raise $15,000 to paint the interior, Mike was overwhelmed with
the response to his letter. Alumni sent in $85,000, which Mike used to make a number of additional repairs in the auditorium. Mike set up a fund with the remainder of the donations for future use. His loyalty to his alma mater and contributions
in serving on the Association Board, plus his heartwarming and extremely successful fundraising efforts, were unparalleled.
He made school life better for many students, and these results will last for generations. His interest in people and delightful
personality charmed us, in addition to the wisdom he shared with us.
Mike’s legacy is one of love of family and commitment to service. His was a life well-lived and he will live on in the hearts
of those who knew and loved him.

Keeping The Dream Of College Alive!
When the John Marshall High Alumni Association first incorporated in 1979, one of the major goals was to give scholarships to deserving students to continue their education. Over the years we have awarded thousands of dollars through
scholarships for students planning careers in specific fields, for talents in music and the performing arts, for school and
community service, athletics, and more.
Some of these scholarships were created by alumni to honor the achievements of Marshall graduates or to remember a
special teacher who had passed away. Some came from the estate of a deceased graduate but most have been funded by
donations from friends, classmates, and family.
Now, as we enter our 36th year of service to our alma mater, we find that some of these scholarship funds have been
depleted. We are reaching out to our alumni family to help us with donations so that we might continue to give these
scholarships and keep the legacy alive.
If you would like to contribute to a particular fund or to create a new scholarship, please contact the alumni association.
Here is a list of our scholarships – should you wish to contribute to one or more of these, please indicate in the memo
section of your check the name of the scholarship account. You may also use PayPal and write the name of the fund in the
comment section.
There are twenty-seven scholarships totaling $11,400 per year.

For athletics or Leadership for at least two years. Michael Mussa S’62 Scholarship Established
The legacy of Michael Mussa, Class of 1962, includes a scholarship fund established this year. Michael had a successful
career in the field of Economics and the two scholarships will be awarded to students planning to major in Economics and
Business.
After Michael graduated from Marshall, he earned his undergraduate degree from UCLA and then his PhD in economics
from the University of Chicago. He taught at the University of Rochester and also at the graduate school at the University
of Chicago, the City University of New York, the London School of Economics, and the Graduate Institute of International
Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
He was one of three members of President Ronald Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers from 1986 to 1988. He was
also chief economist for the International Monetary Fund from 1991 to 2001.
According to a statement from the International Monetary Fund, “Mussa contributed widely and influentially to economic
theory and empirics, and served as the Fund’s Economic Counsellor and Director of the Research Department from 1991
to 2001. During his career, Mussa studied extensively the macroeconomic problems inherent to open economies. Furthermore, he applied his knowledge to the design of economic policy and prevention of crises for developing and developed
countries. His contributions inspired many economists in the academic world and at the IMF.”
Booth University Emeritus Professor Robert Aliber remembers, “Mike was brilliant—and fearless, always ready to
challenge his older colleagues and to provide guidance to MBA and PhD students. His technical competence was superb,
but he was one of the few with these skills who had a strong sense of relevance. Mike had a keen sense of policy, and how
ambitious one might be in advancing policy reforms. He was remarkable in his understanding of public finance, monetary
theory and policy, international trade and international money. Few matched his breadth as a one-person department.”
Michael passed away in January of 2012.

2015 Distinguished Alumni Awardee Don Bachardy
Continued from page 1...
Six books of his work have been published. His life and works are also documented in Terry Sanders’ film The Eyes of
Don Bachardy. He collaborated with Isherwood on Frankenstein: The True Story (1973). His book Stars in My Eyes (2000),
about celebrated people whom he had painted, became a number one best-seller in Los Angeles. Bachardy’s
most haunting and eloquent published collection, “Last Drawings of Christopher Isherwood” in 1990 contains the dying and
deceased Isherwood for the last time in his eyes. One of Bachardy’s most notable works is the official gubernatorial portrait
of Jerry Brown that hangs in the California State Capitol Museum.
In 2009, Bachardy made a cameo appearance in the movie A Single Man (starring Colin Firth) based on Isherwood’s
book of the same name—he portrays a professor in the teacher’s lounge, to whom Firth says “Hello. Don.” Bachardy told
Angeleno Magazine in their December 2009 issue: “Chris got the idea for that book when he and I were having a domestic
crisis. We’d been together 10 years. I was making a lot of trouble and wondering if I shouldn’t be on my own. Chris was
going through a very difficult period (as well). So he killed off my character, Jim, in the book and imagined what his life would
be like without me.”
Bachardy still lives in his and Isherwood’s Santa Monica home (his place of residence for over 50 years), where he paints
portraits for gallery shows and on a commission basis. In January 2010 he showed a retrospective of self-portraits (from
1959–2009) at Craig Krull Gallery in Santa Monica. In the Fall of 2011, Bachardy exhibited portraits made over the last 40
years depicting artists from Southern California, including Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Robert Irwin, Ed
Moses, and Ed Ruscha at Craig Krull Gallery in conjunction with the Getty initiative Pacific Standard Time. All 33 paintings
were purchased by a New York collector on the board of the Whitney Museum.
Don has published several books of his drawings, including his newest volume called Hollywood, in 2014. It features
more than 300 portraits of Tinseltown luminaries both classic (Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth) and contemporary
(Jack Nicholson, Robert Downey Jr.), the bulk of which have never been published before. “My favorite part of any portrait
is always the mouth,” he says. “Of course eyes are more telling than anything else, but the mouth is where the personality
of a person most expresses itself.”
Mr. Bachardy will speak at the Commencement Ceremonies to be held at the Greek Theatre on June 4, 2015. He will also
be the guest of honor at a luncheon following the ceremony. If you wish to attend the luncheon, please fill out the tear-off
below and send it in.
