The Black-Foxe Military Institute was a private school (kindergarten through twelfth grade) on both sides of Wilcox Ave. in Hollywood, adjacent to the Wilshire Country Club to the west and south and the Los Angeles Tennis Club to the east.〔(Memoir by R. S. Wachter )〕 Black-Foxe was founded in 1928 by Charles E. Toberman, a Hollywood developer and financier, and Majors Earle Foxe and Harry Lee Black, both World War I veterans, on the site formerly occupied by Urban Military Academy, where Black had been commandant;〔(Hank Adams letter )〕 Foxe was president, remaining in that post until 1960, Black commandant of cadets, and Major Harry Gaver headmaster. From the start the school attracted the sons of people involved in the movie industry, thanks to its location and Foxe's Hollywood connections. In 1954 Gaver died, and in 1959 Toberman sold the school to Raymond Rosendahl. In the early 1960s the name was changed to The Black-Foxe School. In 1965 Rosendahl sold the school to a nonprofit group that was unable to make a success of it, and in 1968 the mortgage holder foreclosed and Black-Foxe shut its doors.〔(Black-Foxe: A Brief History )〕 == Alumni == * Charles Chaplin, Jr., Actor, son of Charlie Chaplin * Guillermo Endara, President of Panama from 1989 to 1994 * Larry Hagman, actor * Gene Wilder, actor; attended briefly, he wrote that he was bullied and sexually assaulted, primarily because he was the only Jewish boy in the school.〔Wilder, Gene.
