No Names, Please
Associated Campus Entertainment - No Names, Please (ACE-NNP) was a loosely
organized group founded at Tri-School: Servite High School (Anaheim), Rosary
High School (Fullerton), and Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child Jesus
(Anaheim). Those who knew of ACE's existence included students at these
schools:
- Calabasas High School
- California State University, Fullerton
- California State University, Long Beach
- Hamilton Law and Government Magnet School
- Huntington Beach High School
- Pacific Palisades High School
- Palm Springs High School
- St. Joseph's High School
- Temple City High School
- University of California, Irvine
Many have since moved on to other schools, including these:
- Claremont McKenna College
- Cornell University
- Duke University
- Fullerton Junior College
- Harvard University
- Johns Hopkins University
- Pomona College
- Stanford University
- University of California, Berkeley
- University of California, Los Angeles
- University of California, San Diego
- University of Southern California
ACE's purpose was the preservation of an elaborate array of inside jokes
thorough the writing and parodying of songs, poems, and plays. The archives
were maintained by three members easily identifiable to insiders:
Actmaster Jozee - The Big Red Vice God - Old Man River City
There is a footnote series available for some of the more obscure references
(e.g. Ellisteric enzyme, Knife Victims of Seamore). Many works, however, were
lost both during circulation and afterwards. The major surviving works are
two mock epic poems and five musicals; you can mail the
Editor for text scripts:
- The Arneliad
- Despot of the Theatre
- Encore! (file damaged)
- Faculty
- Our Laddy
- Ray Poppins
- Thespianbury Tales
There are several important pieces which have been lost:
- Adam Hawley and the Theatre of Doom (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)
- Adventures of Mister Bob (comic strip); Manson
- Barbie and the Geek (Beauty and the Beast)
- Little Orphan Day (Little Orphan Annie comic strip)
- Parody Hell (comic strip)
Works conceived but never completed are included here.

- Into the School (Into the Woods)
- Joe Betance Superstar (Jesus Christ Superstar)
- La Palma Avenue (Sunset Boulevard)
- The Lee King Faucet (comic strip)
