Photo taken toward SW at front of Arcadia Grammar School. Possibly was taken after Holly Avenue School was opened. Note tree beyond telephone pole. This is probably large magnolia at First Avenue Junior High School today.
View east of the front of Santa Anita School, probably shortly after its opening, as shrubbery is small. This school was located at 1900 S. Santa Anita Avenue from about the late 1940s until June 1981. Santa Anita School was built on the site of the second school building built by the City, a two-room red brick building, built in 1913 to house grades 1 and 2. In 1982, Arcadia Christian School moved into this location.

View toward mountains and Sierra Madre School. Approximately 21 youngsters are seen on the grounds. Fourth person from left appears to be the teacher. It is noted in the ANNALS OF SIERRA MADRE, that Anita Baldwin and other Arcadia youngsters attended this school before Arcadia had a school of its own.
About 12 girls in white are seen walking across the lawn at front of First Avenue School (Arcadia Grammar School at this time, 1935). They have garlands of flowers over their shoulders to commemorate their graduation from 8th grade. Photo is also interesting because construction scaffolding is across front of school.
