[edit] Alumni Section
[edit] Lars Anderson
Someone keeps linking Lars Anderson (class of 2006) to Lawrence Heinemi (a wrestler known also as Lars Anderson) in the Alumni Section. The two are definately not the same people.
[edit] Alumni List
The list of "notable" alumni is growing way too long, almost 40% of the article is a list of alumni. As mentioned below by 76.94.53.219 (talk), these are all athletic alumni, showing off only one facet of the school. Taking this into account, and since the article has been tagged as having no references for just about a year now, I am proposing that this list be truncated to only those that can be shown as alumni with a reference. Please leave your thoughts. — Johnl1479(talk) 03:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Advertisement
The "about JHS" section really sounds like an advertisement. Joyous | Talk 02:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Agreed; I'd suggest keeping to the facts for the About section. You might consider quoting part of the mission statement and putting it in a section labeled as such. SCUMATT 03:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyrighted information
I removed information that was copied from the following JHSSAC web pages: History of Jesuit, Mission Statement, Reach New Heights. Please see Wikipedia's copyright policy. ... discospinster 22:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Space Cadets?
This sounds like a joke to me. I went to JHS, and never heard this one. Rio Americano humor? Bubble07 19:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Concur. You may re-write an appropriate piece. Ronbo76 20:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- No its true. There was talk during the 60s about changing the mascot from the Marauders to the Space Cadets. This was viewed as an effort to show loyalism to the United States during the Cold War. Personally, I'm glad it never got approved. Johnl1479 20:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Amazing! They are lucky it didn't; that term had rather different connotations later on. They'd have had to change it back! Bubble07 22:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Verified, As a student I heard this story as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyratek (talk • contribs) 22:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality
I just read through the entire article. It seems very objective to me. All for removing the the disputed neutrality template, say "I" — Johnl1479(talk) 23:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality, My 2 pence
I read it too, and I´m sorry to say I have some problems specifically regarding the purported notable alumni. Granted, I went JHS for the first two years and ending up graduating at its brother school in Los Angeles (Loyola High School) and looking at both it appears like more sports figures from JHS have more weight compared to more notable corporate graduates or other movers and shakers from the JHS community; Sports isn’t necessarily the exclusive notable attribute from JHS. I’m sure there must be some other mover and shaker from JHS other than sports players, a CEO, Head Partner a major law firm i.e. Mishcon de Reya, Gibbson Dunn + Crutcher, Cuatracasas. I bring this up because Loyola High School seems to have a broader application and albeit much more diverse i.e. black president of LHS and Archbishop of Baltimore, or other notable minority alumni then JHS and looks like a bad overwhelmingly white Abercrombie and Fitch or J. Crew catalogue, Arden Fair Country Club/ Downtown LA/Santa Monica Jonathan Club. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.53.219 (talk) 06:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
