Anaheim Personalities Herman Schafer Herman Schafer and his employer, Earle T. Jackson of Jackson's Drug store, get along in perfect harmony nine months out of the year. But come football season and relations between the two are just slightly strained. It's like this. Schafer was graduated from the college of pharmacy at University of Southern California in 1931, while his boss obtained his degree in pharmacy from University of California. Fortunately, they keep their differences of opinion well below the surface. Schafer, who is virtually a native son, having come to Anaheim at the tender age of five, returned to this city following his graduation from university and has been in the pharmacy business here most of the past 10 years. Prior to coming back to Anaheim, he had worked as a pharmacist apprentice in Los Angeles between 1928 and 1931. Receiving his degree ranks right along with his marriage as the most important events in his life. The bride was Mildred Knipe, an Anaheim girl, and they are the parents of two children, Stephen Frederick, four years old, and Allene Janet, not quite two. Schafer arrived in Anaheim in 1915 when his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schafer, purchased an orange ranch west of this city. The family home had previously been in Pender, Nebr., where Herman Schafer was born. He attended grammar and high school. National Guard En Route to San Luis Obispo Company K Departs At 2 A.M.
