The Historian, Tom Anderson ('52), is responsible for collecting and maintaining information and memorabilia of Venice High School and the Alumni Association. This includes a collection of yearbooks, the Gondolier, (though we’re still missing some), the Association’s newsletter, the Acclaim, photos, newspaper articles, and much more. Due to space limitations, large objects are photographed for the collection and the originals are donated to the Venice Historical Society.

Venice High School the Beginnings - Through the efforts of Abbot Kinney and other community leaders, Venice Union Polytechnic High School opened on September 11. 1911 in the old Venice Bath House, Located at the corner of Coral and Aldebaran Canals.
