Catholics started the first institution of higher learning-

Its first home was in the Lugo house at the east end of the Plaza, 1935

From there it moved three times.

First to a site running from Sixth to Eighth Street; from Hill to Broadway . . . where Bullocks' store is now.
Land at Sixth and Broadway was donated by

the gift of a Protestant-O.W. Childs, who also built th first real theater of the pueblo, 1935

The land became too valuable for such purpose during the boom and St. Vincent's moved to Washington and Grand Avenue, 1935

Loyola University, then finally to a great campus near Playa del Rey and the name was changed to Loyola. The history of this great old college is almost the history of early Los Angeles, as both Catholic and Protestant boys went.

Its present campus is on the old Rancho La Cienega O Paso de la Tijera, 1935

The Comstock rejuvenated San Francisco, which in 1860 was but a ragged little town of fifty-two thousand people, 1943, 1874, 1860, 1920-1850

In 1861 more substantial brick buildings were erected there than in all of the preceding years, nor did that growth ever cease, 1943, 1874, 1861, 1860, 1920-1850

The opportunity for investments in the early years was limited, and nearly all of the profits from the Comstock were invested in San Francisco real estate and in the erection of fine buildings, 1943, 1874, 1860, 1920-1850

However, the entire State shared in the benefits. California was the source of all supplies [for the Comstock], from fruit to mining machinery, and every industry thrived, 1943, 1874, 1860, 1920-1850

In 1949, the passing of the mining railroads was memorialized and the Comstock was cited for the wealth it had generated:

Sandy Bowers, 1949; James Graham Fair, 1949; Jim Flood, 1949; Senator George Hearst, 1949; John Percival Jones, 1974, 1963, 1949, 1874; John Mackay, 1949; Jack O'Brien, 1949; Adolph Sutro, 1949; Senator William M. Stewart, 1949, 1900s

In 1943, Smith classifies the wealth from stocks, mines and mills, and from early and late mining ventures, leading to a distinction between the California millionaires and the Comstock millionaires, 1943

Cross-country rail line completed in 1870

[p. 237] "Comstock millionaires were far fewer than is generally supposed, and all were created in the '70s, 1943, 1870s

During stock excitements prospective millionaires in San Francisco and on the Comstock were as plentiful as blackberries, but the inevitable decline left them as poor as winter, 1943, 1870s

The San Francisco Bulletin of May 7, 1872, reported:

"The excitement in mining stocks and mining claims during the past few months had been without a precedent in the history of our mines. Mining incorporations have been multiplied like the leaves of autumn. The capital of existing incorporations has been increased in the most lavish manner. Prices has gone up like a rocket, and in some cases have reached altitudes never [p. 133] dreamed of even by the most enthusiastic. Yet it is noteworthy that out of the 150 claims offered to the public through the stock boards, only four are paying dividends. These are the Belcher, Crown Point, and two companies at Pioche, Nevada," 1943, 1872

[p.132] "The so-called "Boom of 1872," when 150 stocks on the board made such remarkable advances from January to May 1872, was a man-made affair, manipulated by Alvinza Hayward, who deliberately and openly boosted Savage stock from $62 to $725 a share on the pretense that a rich discovery had been made in the mine. The market followed as a matter of course., 1943, 1872

[p. 174] "The stock brokers were almost exhausted by the rush of business, and on December 24 the Exchange declared a recess until January 2. But there was no holding back the flood. Stocks continued to mount in street trading, and on January 7, 1875, the market value of 31 of the leading mines was $262,669,940. [Lord's Comstock Mining and Miners, p. 409 (1883).] A tabulation of the 65 others would increase the amount to $300,000,000. The market value of Con. Virginia was $76,680,000, of California $85,380,000 and of Ophir $31,748,000. What that sum meant at the time may be illustrated by the fact that the total assessment value of the real estate in San Francisco was only $190,000,000,1943

The San Francisco Chronicle, 1943, 1880s, 1875, 1872, 1870s

[p. 176] "Suddenly the speculators came to their senses. Practically all stocks had been bought on margin account and there was not enough money in the West to finance more than a fraction of the purchases. [Footnote: . . . all stocks on the Pacific exchange . . . footed up to . . . $350,000,000, 1943

[p. 208] "There were three active stock exchanges in San Francisco during the flush '70s, each with a large membership. Able and daring men gravitated to them by instinct. They were the liveliest places on the Coast and the focus of public attention, 1943

The big speculators, like Sharon, Flood, Hayward, Jones and Skae had their favorite brokers, who in turn usually employed other brokers to buy and sell on the exchanges. These groups were almost constantly at war with one another. Other large dealers, "Lucky" Baldwin for example, played a lone hand against everybody, 1943, 1870s, 1920-1850

" Lick, Latham, Sharon, and Hayward are all poor men. Worth $5,000,000? Well, yes, they may be worth that paltry sum." boasting of [San Francisco's] the city's rich men, credits the following with fortunes of $5,000,000,
Baldwin, Hayward, Jones, Lick, Latham, Lux, Miller, Mills, Ralston, Reese, Sharon, and Stanford, 1943, 1875
The wealth of some of these men is understated.
[Sharon's 1884] His sworn answer denied that he was worth to exceed $5,000,000, which may be accepted as a coventional denial.]
Our rich men the Inter-Ocean has not named. They are Mackay, Flood, O'Brien, and Fair. Twenty or thirty million each is but a moderate estimate of their wealth. Mackay is worth from sixty to a hundred millions.
"They have not heard of our new bonanza in Chicago-a lump of silver ore as big as their Grand Pacific Hotel, worth from $100 to $20,000 per ton, so far as ascertained, while its depth, breadth, and thickness have not yet been reached."

The former Washington School, at the northwest corner of Fourth and Ashland. The oldest existing school site in Santa Monica was established as Washington School in 1890 and has been in continuous school use since. The present building was constructed in 1934 after the 1933 earthquake and is patterned after the "Santa Monica Plan" developed by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell, who also designed the Roosevelt School at Lincoln and Montana. The "Santa Monica Plan," incorporating outdoor activity areas immediately acccessible to classrooms, was a result of experiences incurred by having to hold classes in tents for a year after the earthquake, 1983

I think he was the last one of us "original" Santa Monica trouble makers serving on the Council. By that I mean those of us who worked on the
Save the Pier efforts in the early 70s before SMRR.
Stop the Santa Monica Mall efforts in the early 70s before SMRR. he was a shy young volunteer in
my assembly race in 1977 and a
stalwart campaign worker in the first SMRR campaign in 1979. I haven't been engaged in Santa Monica politics since 1994 but I always felt that I was still there somehow because Ken was on the Council.

Approved by the voters in 1946, 1974

Council of seven members, each elected at-large, each to receive only a nominal sum to cover out-of-pocket job-related expenses, 1974, 1946

The Council, under the charter, employs the city manager, the city clerk, and the city attorney, 1974, 1946

All other department heads are appointed by the city manager, 1974, 1946

The Department Heads in turn choose their subordinates, 1974, 1946

All city employees, with the exception of the city manager and his personal office staff, and the city attorney and his staff, are appointed subject to the merit system, known as civil service, 1974, 1946

Applicants must take competitive examinations, as a result of which eligible lists are made up, and appointment may be made only from among the three individuals at the top of the list, unless . . . one or more of the three chooses not to accept a job offer, 1974, 1946

The Board of Education, also consisting of seven memberts, is totally autonomous, except that the charter obliges the city administration to conduct School Board elections.

Council elections are held every two years, with four positions on the ballot at one time, three the next, thus insuring against a complete change of personnel every four years, that being the duration of terms of office, 1974, 1946

Following each election, the council elects one of its number as mayor, another as mayor pro-tem. The mayor has no authority beyond that of his colleagues, except that he acts as chairman and also represents city on social and ceremonial occasions, 1974, 1946

City Commission and City Manager Government, 1974, 1947

"The city's original 1906 charter mandated district representatives and the direct election of the mayor. However, a 1946 charter reform set the current system, in place, under which the seven council members are elected at large. A city-commissioned study in 1992 found that the change was partially designed to exclude a growing black population in the Pico neighborhood from political power. . . ." 2004a, 1992, 1946, 1906

In Santa Monica, the educational process is continuous, and a year-round endeavor:

The regular day classes
Ccontinuation classes for students wishing to "learn while they earn";
Adult education classes for citizens wishing to continue their education in general or special fields, or to secure high school diplomas or the associate of arts degree
In the area of special education, children suffering speech handicaps and reading deficiencies receive individual instruction from special teachers, as do the homebound, the crippled, and the slow in learning
Summer sessions which not only afford students the opportunity of making up grades but also provide a series of "enrichment courses" which materially add to the students' cultural backgrounds.

Santa Monica City Schools Faculty, Faculty Support, Training, 1952

A school system is only as efficient and effective as its teachers:

A high percentage of initial professional training,, 1952

99 per cent of Santa Monica's teachers have completed more than four years of professional training, 1952

57 per cent have completed five years or more, 1952

12 per cent have taken seven years of college work. [2. Jones, op. cit., p. 22.], 1952

The learning process for teachers is a continuous one.

They are required to attend curriculum workshops regularly in order to improve their teaching methods, as well as to take additional university courses to maintain professional standards, 1952
Moreover, they are expected to take an active part in community life, that by their example as participating members in a democratic society they may inspire children and youth likewise to become good and useful citizens, 1952

In addition to general curriculum supervision,

The teachers are aided in their work by supervisory experts in such areas as physical education, industrial arts, music, art, and library and audio-visual aids, 1952
These experts help teachers plan the various courses, coordinate the program and select the necessary tools and materials to make the program effective and efficient, 1952
In the area of special education, children suffering speech handicaps and reading deficiencies receive individual instruction from special teachers, as do the homebound, the crippled, and the slow in learning, 1952
Besides the help received from supervisory experts, a curriculum department, under the direction of the assistant superintendent of schools, keeps teachers informed of new educational trends and of curriculum methods use in other systems, 1952

Santa Monica City Schools Special Education, 1952

In the area of special education, children suffering speech handicaps and reading deficiencies receive individual instruction from special teachers, as do the homebound, the crippled, and the slow in learning.

Santa Monica City School District Education Curriculum, Philosophy, 1952

Education begins with insight into the capacities, interests, and needs of human beings, 1952
Educational development becomes a personal achievement, 1952
The Santa Monica public schools focus attention on the individual, 1952
Democracy implies the living together, in groups, of persons conscious of the needs and welfare of one another, 1952
In Santa Monica, the educational philosophy of the school system has always been that "education . . . is chiefly concerned with teaching the individual the basic concepts of Democracy so that he may become a good and useful citizen . . . prepared to face an ever-changing world." [1. William S. Briscoe in Jones, op. cit., p. 3.]
In consequence, the schools seek to provide for children, youth, and adults of the community a program that is broad and varied:

In school subjects, academic curricula, and vocational training, 1952

And in social activities and studies through which a worthy sense of civic responsibility and of requisite civic behavior develops, 1952

Without these, the American "of, for, and by the people" form of government has no foundation, 1952

The Santa Monica schools are dedicated, therefore, to the propositions:

that their highest service is the contribution of citizens who understand fully the democratic concept with its privileges and responsibilities, 1952

citizens who can take their place equally in the local community, in the state, the nation, and, through the nation, in the world at large, 1952

The regular day classes of the Santa Monica schools recognize the "Three R's" as the fundamentals of education, although methods of teaching the basic tools of reading, writing, and arithmetic are today more scientific than they were in earlier years.

From the primary grades through the junior college, emphasis is placed upon the importance of acquiring and exercising skill in the use of these tools to the end that not only greater facility in learning may be achieved but also that a more complete appreciation of the total curricular offerings may be enjoyed.

Evaluation strategies are possible, 1952

The Santa Monica School Board of Education campaigned to establish a separate high school
Undaunted by the defeat of a bond issue to erect a high school, the Board submitted another proposition to the vote of the electors to build an additional grammar school.
Upon the approval of the bonds and the construction of the Lincoln School, the Board proceeded to rent the new building to the high school. Thus was their original purpose achieved. 1952, 1906, 1903, 1900s, 1890s
One and only Santa Monica public school and its pupils, September, 1894, 1974
The Board of Education campaigned to establish a separate high school and remove the higher grades from their cramped quarters in the original Sixth Street school. 1952, 1906, 1903, 1900s, 1890s
The Board desired to find a site that was large enough to meet the existing needs of the high school and to allow for future development.
A good many people thought that it would be expedient to consolidate the two sections of the town by building a polytechnic high school where it would serve both areas. Thus, at a public meeting in the City Hall, called October 27, 1910, school functionaries of both Ocean Park and Santa Monica gathered to discuss the feasibility of such a plan. [49. Board Minutes, Oct. 27, 1910.], 1952, 1910, 1898
The selection of Prospect Hill, midway between Ocean Park and Santa Monica, as the site for the new high school was a large factor in eliminating the cross-town rivalry which had existed between the two communities, 1952, 1910

The three buildings comprising the main sections of the high school plant were of tapestry brick construction, with red tile roofs. These structures housed, respectively, the academic and administrative departments, manual arts and commerce, and the science, household, and fine arts departments. The academic building stood in the center of the group and contained, besides sixteen classrooms, complete administrative offices, a special recital hall with seating capacity for 110 persons on the second floor, and the school auditorium. Much pride was taken in the auditorium that seated 1200. Nothing, it was concluded, could have been more complete in the way of an auditorium, with its modern upholstered chairs, fully equipped stage, and dressing rooms. [58. Pearl, op. cit. , p. 91.], 1952, 1912

The manual arts and commerce departments occupied the building facing Michigan Avenue, which held the foundry, forge, machine shop, and laboratory for practical physics. There were shops for cabinet making, milling, a dry kiln, finishing and fuming rooms, and a large instruction hall. Wood-turning and pattern-making found room in the basement, while the second floor of the building provided space for the commercial department and mechanical drawing, 1952, 1912

The structure on the south side of the administration building, facing on Fremont Avenue, housed on the first floor chemistry, with its lecture rooms and laboratories; physics, biology, and botany rooms; a dark room, and an instructors' room. The second floor contained rooms for the fine arts department, and for cooking, sewing, dressmaking, millinery, and other phases of domestic science, 1952, 1912

The Board Minutes of May 12, 1912, contain the following memoir:

"We believe that the Williamson D. Vawter Gate will teach the boys and girls who pass through it in pursuit of education, a higher respect for age and superior wisdom, a noble appreciation of worthy deeds and self-sacrifice, and higher ideals of civic pride and public duty."
The same sentiments were expressed in the minutes on the presentation of the Elliott Gate, and the Board presented a copy of the statements to the donors of each of the gates, 1952, 1912

Two memorial gateways, each costing $1000, adorn the high school grounds.

The Williamson D. Vawter Gate and the Robert P. Elliott Gate were announced at the dedication ceremonies of the new high school on February 23, 1913. The Vawter Gate, erected on Fifth Street and Michigan Avenue, was dedicated by the children of W.D. Vawter. Vawter was one of the pioneer citizens of California, a man who had exhibited great interest in the schools of Santa Monica, and a man respected in the community for his civic, industrial, and moral worth.
The Robert P. Elliott Gate was presented by Carl F. Schader in honor of his father-in-law who, in an earlier period, had served for two terms on the Board of Education and was an active civic leader. This gate opens to Pico Boulevard and Fourth Street, 1952, 1913

Samohi [67. The name Samohi came into being in 1912 when the faculty and students decided to publish a school paper, and a contest was held to determine what it should be called. Edwin Coulon, a boy of French extraction who lived in Santa Monica Canyon, won the competition with the name Samohi, which he devised from the three words, Santa Monica High. The name soon was applied to the school itself, and is now so associated. Student's Manual, 1952, 1912

On August 8, 1912, the [Santa Monica] electors voted another $150,000 for the schools, of which $65,000 had been allotted to the high school for gymnasiums and other improvements. [61. Board Minutes, Aug. 14, 1912.] From this bond money a health unit was constructed to serve as an emergency first-aid room and rest room for those who were not well, 1952, 1912

Frank W. Thomas resigned as Santa Monica High Principal in 1913 to become president of Fresno State Teachers College, and the Board of Education accepted his resignation "with deepest regret.", 1952, 1913

J.E. McKown succeeded Frank W. Thomas as Santa Monica Principal [1913-1914], 1952, 1914, 1913

First, although adult classes were held as early as 1889, it was only in 1913 that the adult education program and evening high school were officially organized, 1952, 1913, 1889

An agricultural program was introduced into the course of study in 1914 with work in propagation and horticulture for those interested in this field as a career or for home use. The program reached a peak during World War I, when food production became a vital factor in winning the war. [68. Pearl, op. cit., p. 94.], 1952, 1919, 1918, 1917, 1914

As the school grew, more subjects were added to the course of study. In 1916, a course in dramatics was instituted and later was made part of the regular English program. During the years debating and forensics have in part been replaced by classes in public speaking. The greatest changes, however, have taken place in the business department where course in shorthand, salesmanship, business law, business practice, office practice, and secretarial training have been added to the program of bookkeeping, accounting, and typing that traditionally had been offered, 1952, 1916

During the years of World War I, when the impact of the conflict was felt strongly by students and faculty, Santa Monica High School engaged in many patriotic activities.

Among other things, they raised money for an ambulance to be sent to the French army.
The Red Cross sewing class at the school numbered 216 participants, the largest class in the history of the school.
So many young patriots joined the armed forces that there were almost twice as many girls as there were boys in the school.
The total enrollment dropped to 455, with chemistry the most popular study of that period, and home gardening also proving to be an important interest." [63. Pearl, op. cit., p. 97], 1952, 1918, 1917

Each year brought a sharply increased enrollment, compelling the construction, in 1924, of a fourteen-room addition at Seventh Street and Pico Boulevard, at a cost of $132,000. Included in this new building were the library facilities to provide for the school of even larger enrollment, the Board having estimated that the maximum number of students might reach two to three thousand.

During the reconstruction period, following the earthquake of 1933, the high school campus acquired three new buildings: an auditorium, the boys' gymnasium, and a wing for the art department. The five other main buildings were reconstructed to meet earthquake standards set up for school buildings. All of the buildings were structurally braced to withstand shocks greater than those occurring in 1933 at the quake's center, the Long Beach area. The high gabled roofs were replaced with modern shockproof, deck-type roofing. By removing much of the dangerous "gingerbread" and reinforcing all of the bearing walls with steel then coating the outside with stucco, these buildings took on an appearance of modern architecture. [66. Beach Cities Labor Journal, Santa Monica Schools Edition, Oct. 1937, p. 2.], 1952, 1933, 1930s

The largest project in the building program was the complete rehabilitation and modernization of the high school. W.P.A. funds provided a new auditorium, Barnum Hall, which included practice rooms for band and orchestra as well as two music classrooms; a boys' gymnasium; a new wing to the library; and a new shop building. [26. Beach City Labor Journal, Santa Monica Schools Edition, October, 1937, p. 3.] But funds were not sufficient to complete the project, and in 1936 an additional $250,000 in bond money was voted for the purpose. When the high school plant was finally complete, the Board of Education and the W.P.A. had spent more than $1,225,000 in remodeling and new construction. [27.Loc. cit.], 1952, 1937, 1930s

In 1937, when the building was being remodeled, the metal case that held the [Cornerstone] documents was opened. The contents were examined, resealed in another metal case, and place in the new cornerstone. [57. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 8G.], 1952, 1912

The entire group of buildings, including the newly added auditorium, gymnasium, and art wing, brought about the real completion of the high school campus. The dream of years had been realized in the new auditorium that was opened in September, 1938. Since that time, it has served as a most adequate facility for all of the high school functions and has been the only auditorium of its size and appointment for all large civic affairs, 1952, 1938, 1930s

The foyer of Barnum Hall displays a handsome tile mosaic, fifteen by seventeen feet in size, called The Vikings. The mosaic, together with a mural on asbestos stage curtain, were the work of a Federal Art Project during the W.P.A. days. The work was directed by an eminent Santa Monica artist, S. Macdonald Wright, who used the Viking theme to emulate the name chose many years before by the student body as the name of its athletic teams, 1952, 1938

Today, with community interest vested in one high school, the educational program at the secondary level is more nearly meeting the needs of all students. Not only does it prepare them for work in colleges and universities, but it provides also terminal courses in business, homemaking, and mechanical arts, as well as scholastic and cultural experiences that better equip the high school graduate for his role as an adult member of the community, 1952,

The general courses of the curriculum in Santa Monica High School have always been maintained at a high standard. The subjects first taught on the new campus were: modern and classic languages, history, English, science, commercial subjects, manual training, domestic science, and physical education . . . 1952, 1911

The Counseling Program

The high school counseling program has developed rapidly in the last ten years. With a competent staff and the time provided to insure the best results, the program has greatly helped students to plan future educational pursuits or to choose areas of vocational interest. Through the counseling program, the teachers and administrators have been able to provide classes that would meet the needs and interests of the present-day high school student in helping him to achieve his vocational goal. [71. Student Manual, p. 7.]
Students are given individual counseling by the same counselors throughout their high school careers. This guidance program begins in the 9A grade when the students make their plans for the senior high school, and is followed by one or more individual conferences each succeeding semester until graduation. In the counseling offices are files which contain information concerning grades, activities, standardized test results, interest inventories, and special interview records beginning with the seventh grade. With this information at hand, the counselors strive to assist the students in understanding their own abilities, aptitudes, and personality traits, and then to make choices of the school opportunities that will most likely lead to their best development.
Students are also given information concerning vocational opportunities and are assisted in the evaluation of their own interests and aptitudes for various occupations. In the 10A English classes and senior psychology classes, units of vocational study are presented. In addition, the counselors give further assistance in vocational guidance since the choice of courses, particularly in the major field, is closely related to the the student's vocational goals. Vocational materials are available in the library and in the counselor's offices. Special arrangements are made for students who wish to enter the special trades to take a portion of their work at the Santa Monica Technical School, 1952, 1950s, 1940s
In the spring semester each year, vocational conference is held for all students. Over forty meetings are planned in response to students' interests and each student attends meetings of his choice. A business or professional man or woman who is experienced in each field describes the vocation and answers the students' questions. Following the conference, the senior boys and girls have an opportunity to get further firsthand information about the world of work by going out into the community on Boys' and Girls' Career Days.

Courses in driver education were first introduced in 1948, the work in this field including the theory as well as the practice of safe driving. A dual-control car is used for training purposes on the road, while in the classroom, many instruments are employed to test observation, reaction time, and general ability in handling an automobile, 1952, 1948

Santa Monica High School, 1950-51, p. 30] today is considered to have one of the best high school auditoriums in the state. Among the outstanding features of the interior are its 1500 comfortable opera chairs, the rich carpeting, the concealed lighting, and the very adequate stage equipment. The size of the stage and the extensive equipment permit the production of almost all types of dramatic or musical performance. In addition to the plays and musicals presented by the high school, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra each year presents a series of concerts, two opera companies stage productions there regularly, and other theatrical and musical organizations make use of the auditorium for civic events.

Since June 1951, driver education has become a requirement for graduating and must be taken by all student in the junior and senior years. [69.Student's Manual, p. 10.], 1952, 1951

Currently, the subjects of the high school are divided into eleven departments: art, business, English, foreign languages, homemaking, mathematics, mechanical arts, music, physical education, science, and the social studies, 1952

The high school program prepares the student for entrance into college or university, specific courses being offered as preparatory to advanced study in such fields as architecture, agriculture, art, business administration, dentistry, home economics, law, librarianship, medicine, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, physical education, science and mathematics, and teaching. [70. Ibid., pp. 13-14.], 1952

Graduation Requirements:

Student Body Activities

The Associated Student Body Officers and Cabinet, 1952

The elected representatives of the classes and other student organizations carry on a program of extracurricular activities including assemblies, rallies, boys' and girls' leagues and the like. 1952,
The student cabinet sponsors and controls an active club program which is academic, hobby, honor, service, social, or vocational in character, 1952
The high school currently (1951-1952) enrolls approximately 1700 students, and its faculty numbers over eighty teachers on a full or part time basis. A. Ewing Konold, principal since 1945, has been particularly successful in making the community aware of the excellent program that is carried on at Santa Monica High School.
Many recent graduates have brought additional honor to the school by winning scholarships to colleges and universities with the state and throughout the the United States. [72. Personal interview with A. Ewing Konold, May 25, 1951; Santa Monica, California.]
The community has actively endorsed and supported a program of athletics in the high school.
The physical education department has produced teams that have won many conference and statewide championships. The trophy case in the foyer of the administration building is evidence of the success and interest shown by the students in the accomplishments of the school, 1952
In a period of sixty years, the Santa Monica High School has become an established part of the community.

By having only one high school, the support and pride of the community is vested in the one institution. The years have brought many changes in subject and personnel to the high school, but for the most part the community, the Board of Education, and the administrators of the schools have looked favorably upon the overall educational program and the results that have been achieved, 1952

Santa Monica High School Cornerstone Ceremony, 1952, 1912

Santa Monica pronounced it a gala day when the cornerstone of the new high school was sealed into place, 1952, 1912
The ceremony was held on April 11, 1912, and was witnessed by nearly one hundred county and city superintendents from various parts of the state, 1952, 1912
A luncheon was served at the Seaside Hotel for the superintendents, city officials, school personnel, and distinguished guests, after which the whole town turned out to witness the ceremonies incident to the laying of the cornerstone, 1952, 1912
The formal ceremony was notable because of the full participation of the town, the clergy, and fraternal and civic organizations, 1952, 1912
The invocation was given by the Reverend J.D.H. Browne, rector of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church, 1952, 1912

Santa Monica High School Memorial Theater, 1952, 1921, 1919

When the war ended, people of the town discussed building a suitable memorial to the war heroes who had served and who had given their lives in the great conflict. In the spring of 1919, the Board of Education passed the following resolution:

"Whereas, the Board of Education deems the erection of an open-air theatre on the High School grounds as an integral part of the High School plant, a public necessity for the use of the school and a place of assembly for the citizens of Santa Monica, and whereas the United States, in cooperation with the Allied Nations, has recently won a great victory over Germany and her allies, therefore be it-

"Resolved that the open-air theatre to be erected on the High School grounds shall be a memorial theatre, to be dedicated to the honor of soldiers, sailors, and marines who were enlisted in the World War, and to the memory of those who gave their lives in the cause of that war. And be it further-

"Resolved that the walls of the Memorial Theatre shall bear appropriate tablets, with suitable inscriptions and the name of every soldier, sailor, and marine enlisted from the City of Santa Monica, and from the Santa Monica High School District." [64. Board Minutes, April 21, 1919.] 1952, 1921, 1919

The designers were instructed to mark with a gold star the name of every soldier, sailor, or marine enlisting from Santa Monica who met death in the war, 1952, 1921, 1919

A bond issue of May 20, 1919, provided $30,000 to meet the costs of the Memorial Bowl 1952, 1921, 1919

Designed by Allison and Allison, architects. Fitting into the slope of the hill, below the main group of buildings and above the athletic field, the Memorial follows the traditional lines of the old Greek theaters. With concrete foundations and a facade of ornamental brick, it seats approximately 3000 persons, and was considered at that time the best example of its type to be found in southern California. Facilities for the production of pageants, plays, and aesthetic dances were provided, with the traditional greensward and shallow pool extending from the stage proper. Dance recitals, rallies, school assemblies, and the annual Spanish Fiesta continues to create colorful spectacles from the Memorial Theatre, 1952, 1921, 1919

Dedicated May 30, 1921, on Memorial Day, with

the U.S. Flagship Wyoming at anchor in the bay to participate in the ceremonies, 1952, 1921
the program opened on the municipal pier, from which flowers were strewn across the waters in honor of the Navy men who had lost their lives in the war, 1952, 1921
The assemblage then proceeded to Woodlawn Cemetery, where the graves of soldiers buried there were decorated with flowers, 1952, 1921
The program at the Memorial Theatre began at ten-thirty in the morning with members of all branches of the service participating in the dedication, 1952, 1921
The dedicatory address was delivered by Frederick Wards, dean of the American stage, 1952, 1921
The unveiling of the memorial tablet closed the ceremonies. [65. Program, Dedication of the Santa Monica High School Memorial Theatre, May 30, 1921; in files of Santa Monica Board of Education.]

Santa Monica Hose, Hook and Ladder Company, p. 275, 1908a, 1903, 1889

Forty -six members, many of whom were leading business men of the city
The first equipment of this time consisted of a four-wheel hose cart and 1,000 feet of hose, with ladders, axes, etc. Hydrants had been provided, 1908a, 1889
the old engine house, back of the bank building on Oregon avenue, had been built in 1888. 1908a, 1889
The first officers of the company were Robert Eckert, foreman; William Jackson, first assistant foreman; George B. Dexter, second assistant foreman; Fred C. McKinney, secretary, and A.G. Smith, treasurer. 1908a, 1889
George B. Dexter, Foreman [1890-1903], SMHHLC, 1908a
A two-wheel car and a hook and ladder wagon were added to the equipment, 1908a, 1890
The two carts with 2,000 feet of hose made it a very heavy task for the firemen to pull the apparatus to a fire, especially when they had to plough through a mile or two of sand or dust to reach South Santa Monica, 1908a 1890
Yet for [p. 279] ten years the firemen were obliged to meet these conditions, added to which was often, perhaps usually, an inadequate supply of water, or a pressure too weak to be effectual, 1908a, 1890s
Except for contributions and donations, the firemen were uncompensated, 1908a, 1903, 1889

Formerly at the northwest corner of Fourth and Ashland. The oldest existing school site in Santa Monica was established as Washington School in 1890 and has been in continuous school use since. The present building was constructed in 1934 after the 1933 earthquake and is patterned after the "Santa Monica Plan" developed by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell, who also designed the Roosevelt School at Lincoln and Montana. The "Santa Monica Plan," incorporating outdoor activity areas immediately acccessible to classrooms, was a result of experiences incurred by having to hold classes in tents for a year after the earthquake. 1983

Beth Leder-Pack, Public Information Coordinator at Santa Monica Rent Control Board

Santa Monicans for Renter's Rights (SMRR), 2010, 1979, 1970s

I think Ken Genser was the last one of us "original" Santa Monica trouble makers serving on the Council. By that I mean those of us who worked on the
"Save the Pier "efforts in the early 70s before SMRR.
"Stop the Santa Monica Mall" efforts in the early 70s before SMRR.
Ken was a shy young volunteer in the Ruth Y. Goldway assembly race in 1977
And stalwart campaign worker in the first SMRR campaign in 1979.
I haven't been engaged in Santa Monica politics since 1994 but I always felt that I was still there somehow because Ken was on the Council.

to create its own courses of study and establish its own educational policies, in accord with the general school law of the state 1952, 1906

On May 2, 1906, the voters of Santa Monica again turned out to the polls in even larger numbers and approved the bonds by a vote of 288 to 66, 1952, 1906, 1900s

A summary of the period of rapid expansion in the schools would be incomplete without again giving credit to the electors of the Santa Monica City School District who, insistently spurred on by the women of the community, gave their support to providing adequately for the large increase in school enrollment and the constant betterment of the educational program, 1952, 1906, 1903, 1900s

The present chapter begins with a description of a campaign waged by the Board of Education to establish a separate high school and remove the higher grades from their cramped quarters in the original Sixth Street school. Undaunted by the defeat of a bond issue to erect a high school, the Board submitted another proposition to the vote of the electors to build an additional grammar school. Upon the approval of the bonds and the construction of the Lincoln School , the Board proceeded to rent the new building to the high school. Thus was their original purpose achieved. 1952, 1906, 1903, 1900s

As the city developed, the board helped to solve the problem of increased enrollment in the elementary schools by securing the passage, in less than one year's time, of three bond issues totaling $135,000 and used the money for the construction of six new buildings in various parts of the district. Five of the new buildings were of brick construction, which not only made them considerably safer from fire but created jobs for local labor and industry, 1952, 1906, 1903, 1900s

Also discussed will be the extension of the regular high school program, which came about in two ways.

First, although adult classes were held as early as 1889, it was only in 1913 that the adult education program and evening high school were officially organized.

In the second instance, the need for a junior college was recognized in 1929, and the program opened as an extension of the high school program.

Santa Monica City School District Research Department, 1952, 1928, 1924

Many special services have been introduced in the Santa Monica schools during the years, some of the earlier ones being these: 1924 Research Department established, 1952, 1924
In Santa Monica, it was the establishment of the research department, now the guidance department, which probably had the most far-reaching influence on the program of the schools. This department was instituted in September, 1924, through cooperation with the University of California, Los Angeles, and its work was directed by J. Harold Williams of the University faculty, 1952, 1924
In the first two years of its operation, a program was developed which included demonstration testing, test surveys, and the training of teachers. Many of the teachers had had no previous experience in testing and research methods. [48. Martin, op. cit. p. 25.]
The research department staff consisted of the director, who served on a part-time basis, a supervisor, and two assistants. The department was organized to serve the various levels of the school system and provided six major activities: (1) measurement, (2) counseling, (3) clinical investigation, (4) organization and supervision of special classes, (5) curriculum research, and (6) the study of special problems. [49. Loc. cit.]
One of the most practical results of the research work in Santa Monica was the organization of special classes for children whose progress in the regular grades would be seriously retarded by maladjustment which could be minimized under conditions of more individual teaching.

Three types of classes were established:

opportunity classes for gifted children,

adjustment classes for pupils who had fallen behind in their work but who were mentally capable of making normal progress in school, and

development classes of the mentally retarded. [50. Ibid., p. 26.]

Supervision of these special classes was provided directly from the research office, where arrangements were made for the admission, promotion, and transfer of pupils in any of the special groups.

In cases of severe maladjustment, the work was handled on a clinical basis. The use of numerous mental tests, interviews with parents and with teachers, and the study of data supplied by the school physician, nurses, and visiting teachers provided the information needed to aid in special placement. [51. Martin, Loc. cit.]

While the opportunity classes no longer exist, special training classes have replaced the development classes and special remedial reading classes operate in place of the former adjustment classes. The research department established the beginnings of the testing program now used in the schools, and has had the responsibility of developing the counseling and guidance program for the entire district., 1952, 1950s

Chapter V School Development in Adversity

When Percy R. Davis became Superintendent of Schools in 1932 Santa Monica, like the rest of the nation, was already in the throes of the financial depression which characterized most of the decade between 1930 and 1940. Future prospects for the schools were unpredictable, for lack of funds, ordinarily accruing for school purposes from various tax sources, in addition to heavy indebtedness, harassed the Board of Education and the school administration. General conditions were by no means auspicious; yet to Superintendent Davis, adversity presented a challenge that a less able man might well have found it impossible to meet. With characteristic foresight and efficiency, he began immediately to examine the issues to which he had fallen heir. Then, less than a year after his assumption of office, disaster struck. The earthquake of 1933 overnight rendered most of the schools unsafe for occupancy and added immeasurably to the new superintendent's already numerous problems. How these problems were met and in what ways the schools were further developed during these trying years, is the subject of the present chapter.
The Earthquake of 1933

On March 10, 1933, at 5:55 p.m., an earthquake jarred southern Californians into forgetfulness of their evening meal. Close to a major disaster as it proved to be in some sections, Santa Monica learned to accept it as a blessing in disguise; first, because it acquainted her citizens with the physical conditions of the schools as nothing else could have; and second, because it enabled the Board of Education to rebuild the oldest structures and make the rest quake-resistant, with the Federal government paying variously from 20 to 80 per cent of the cost. [1. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, Oct. 10, 1933, p. 18.]

In those southern California communities where the trembler reached its greatest intensity, damage to school buildings was extreme. Auditoriums collapsed, walls were thrown out, and the very exits to safety were piled high with debris which, a few minutes before, had been parts of towers and ornamental entrances. Had the quake occurred while the schools were in session, an appalling number of children undoubtedly would have lost their lives.

In Santa Monica, however, removed as it was from the center of the quake's intensity, the damage was considerably less, although great enough to warrant the closing of the schools so that an inspection of them could be made. Mar. 14 Four days later, while the ground still shook with tremors of diminishing intensity, a committee composed of architect D.D. Smith, engineer Phillip Rowell, and builder Robert Peterson, accompanied by the president and the secretary of the Board of Education, examined every room in each of the twelve plants in the school system. [2. Board Minutes, Mar. 13, 1933.] The inspection disclosed no structural faults and a relatively few minor damages, with the exception of the high school where fire walls had been loosened at the top of the wall. [3.Ibid., April 3, 1933.] These damages were rapidly repaired. At the same time, brick chimneys were removed and replaced with iron stacks; cast stone entrances gave way to monolithic concrete; gable ends were anchored, roof trusses braced, an many other measures taken to eliminate hazards.

Santa Monica School Inspection Committee, 1952, 1933

The Santa Monica School District Board should inform itself as to the proximity of school buildings to definitely known earth faults, in order to determine whether to prepare for major or minor earth shocks,

and recommended that all new buildings be of class A construction, properly designed.

This last advice was based on the failure of brick and hollow tile to withstand the March tremblor in the cities most heavily stricken.

Later in the same month, the firm of Marsh, Smith, and Powell, architects, were employed by the Board of Education to carry out the recommendations of the inspection committee. In their voluminous report, Peterson and Rowell suggested, among other things, that the Board inform itself as to the proximity of school buildings to definitely known earth faults, in order to determine whether to prepare for major or minor earth shocks, and recommended that all new buildings be of class A construction, properly designed. This last advice was based on the failure of brick and hollow tile to withstand the March tremblor in the cities most heavily stricken. [4. Robert A. Millikan, president of the California Institute of Technology, was chairman of the State Commission for School Inspections and coordinated the work of the local inspection committees.], 1952,

The report condemned the use of brick veneer as practiced in the past, and the joining together of materials having different degrees of flexibility; e.g. wood frame joined to a masonry wall, or a brick wall against a concrete wall. If anchor ties were used in masonry to wood, it was recommended that the ties go completely through the wall. Any ornamentation not monolithic was also condemned as was that which could not be made absolutely secure through proper anchorage. [5. Board Minutes, April 3, 1933.]. 1952, 1933

Subsequent reports from various groups who inspected the schools revealed that none of the buildings was better than class C construction, and that some of them belonged to Class D. In the event of an earthquake equal in intensity to that of the Long Beach-Compton area, they stated, Santa Monica's schools would meet the same fate that befell schools of class C and D construction there. Some of the features of the school buildings listed as hazards were: side walls too high, unsupported large window openings, large rooms with insufficient supports for the room above, workmanship in the masonry graded from poor to excellent, joist anchorage inadequate, bond beams over second story windows in some cases were two feet below roof joists, and the roof construction resting on brick walls carried above the bond beamowell, considering the problem of what to do with the present structures, stated that it would be impossible to prepare them against a major shock with entirely new construction. Confirming reports from other inspection. [6. Board Minutes, April 17, 1933.]

Peterson and R groups, they emphasized that in a semi-major quake Santa Monica would sustain approximately the same loss as had the Compton and Long Beach schools in the March disaster. To prepare against a shock of this intensity would entail a complicated and costly program, they pointed out. A great deal could be done, however, to minimize the loss of both property and life by eliminating the hazards in Santa Monica schools known to be the same as those from which the Long Beach-Compton areas suffered. [7. Loc. cit.]

Marsh, Smith and Powell submitted their report on May 9, 1933, and the Board of Education employed Paul Jeffers and Murray Erick, consultant engineers, to review the findings and recommendations submitted up to that time. [8. Board Minutes, May 9, 1933.] While the engineers were completing their examination of these data, some fifty or more citizens made a tour of inspection of the damaged schools in the Compton and Long Beach areas with representatives of the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell pointing out the faulty construction. The group, deeply impressed by what they had seen, immediately elected a committee to make further investigations. Moe M. Fogel, chairman of the committee, appealed to various civic organizations to appoint their own representatives to serve as an advisory committee. [9. Pearl, op. cit., p. 60.]

Jeffers and Erick returned their report on May 29, 1933, describing the weaknesses of the Santa Monica school buildings in detail. The following items were included in their report:

"Many of these details of faulty construction could be corrected and the buildings thereby made safe for occupancy in case of mild quake. Such reconstruction would not, however, be sufficient to make the buildings safe for occupancy, in case of another earthquake of the degree of intensity of the Long Beach and Santa Barbara quakes. Such construction would make your buildings somewhat better than the average school building.
"We therefore recommend that, with the exception of the oldest buildings which do not warrant the costs of reinforcing, all buildings be properly reinforced to withstand some definite horizontal force, thereby minimizing the damage by earthquake, of which this type of building has proven susceptible.
"This reinforcing is not difficult of achievement nor is it particularly expensive for the average school building. Only by such reinforcing of the building can assurance be had that every reasonable precaution has been taken to safeguard the lives of the children who are compelled to occupy the buildings." [10. Board Minutes, May 29, 1933.]

Early in October of 1933, while the citizen's committee was still studying plans with the engineers, another earthquake but of relatively minor intensity, disturbed the public mind. The committee, perhaps somewhat influenced by the latest tremblor as well as what they had witnessed and the reports they had perused, advised the Board of Education to call a bond election for the purpose of providing funds for strengthening and reconstruction of school buildings, to the amount of $200,000. The bond election, held October 24, 1933, failed to receive the necessary two-thirds vote, thus leaving the Board without funds to carry out the recommendations made. [11. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, Oct. 25, 1933, p. 1.]

District Attorney Burton Fitts of Los Angeles County held that the negative result of the election absolved the School Board, individually and collectively, from legal responsibility in case of damage or injury resulting from future earthquakes. Thus, on Fitts' further advice, Superintendent Davis filed with the grand jury a complete report of the steps taken to provide earthquake-proof school buildings for the children of Santa Monica. [12. Pearl, op. cit., p. 61.] But such self-protective measures could do nothing to accomplish the end results desired. And so, in November of 1933, three members of the citizens' committee-C.H. Cromer, structural engineer, Fitts, and Dr. Ellet Harding, the President of the Board of Education-met with the grand jury for further discussion of the problem at hand.

This meeting precipitated an inspection of the Santa Monica schools by the State Department of Architecture, the first such inspection to be made by this department; and the information gleaned during this investigation guided the State in formulating its "earthquake code' for public schools. [13. Personal interview with Percy R. Davis, Feb. 16, 1951; Los Angeles, California.]

When the findings of the State Commission finally were released, condemning all Santa Monica schools as unsafe, late Mayor William H. Carter, then commissioner of public works in Santa Monica, ordered the schools closed. This news, released on March 13, 1934, was received with mixed emotions: the children gave it joyous acclaim, but their parents and the Board of Education were plunged into a state of mind bordering consternation. The report of the State Commission had dashed any hopes they may have had that the report of Jeffers and Erick perhaps presented a too pessimistic view concerning the physical condition of the schools. [14. Board Minutes, Mar. 13, 1934.]

Superintendent Davis, anticipating these reports had already ordered the erection of tents on the school grounds the purpose being to use them for classrooms until such time as a more permanent solution to the school housing problem could be found. In the elementary district the amount expended for such equipment did not exceed $26,000, and an even smaller sum was required to make the high school safe for occupancy until more complete changes could be made. [15. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 70.]

The rehabilitation of the schools proceeded on funds appropriated from the districts, and on money borrowed from the county unapportioned fund. [16. Board Minutes, April 23, 1934.] The work was organized as projects of the State Emergency Relief Administration, a dozen or more in number, including the demolition of the old Roosevelt, Washington, and Grant elementary schools and the old Garfield building, then occupied by the Santa Monica Junior College. But even before these projects were completed, it was rumored that Federal funds were to be made available for school reconstruction. Accordingly Morton Anderson, President of the Board of Education, was sent at once to Washington to represent Santa Monica and make a personal appeal for the needs of the district. He was the first of such representatives to arrive at the national capitol. Upon his return, Anderson reported that Congressman John Dockweiler, Senator Hiram Johnson, and Admiral Peoples, chief of the Public Works Division, had agreed to allocate $1,500,000 to the Santa Monica School District for the rebuilding of its schools. [17. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, Sept. 9, 1935, p. 1.]

With this heartening assurance from Washington, the Board of Education called another school bond election for November 12, 1935, with bonds totaling $290,000. This sum represented 20 per cent of the total cost of the proposed program as required by the Works Progress Administration. The campaign for the bonds that followed stirred Santa Monica as no previous campaign had done, with civic organizations, women's clubs, parent-teacher associations, and even high school students and children from elementary grades taking part. Nevertheless, the opposition was strong, and to the usual cries of waste and extravagance it now added lurid charges of graft and corruption. The Outlook commented editorially:

"That Santa Monica needs new school construction is undeniable; that anyone should attempt to controvert such a movement is unthinkable.

"A more sound and completely invulnerable plan could scarcely be devised whereby any municipal corporation of any bond district would receive an outright gift of four dollars for every dollar voted in a bond issue.

"If the city repudiates this measure at the polls, certainly it will be performing a nasal excision, for some other city will get the allotment, and Santa Monicans will have to pay their share of the bill in exactly the same amount as though the $1,500,000 was being spent upon the improvement of Santa Monica, and the safeguarding of Santa Monica school children.

"The work must be done. Only one issue exists, whether the citizens of this city want the work to be done with a Federal grant, and reduce the municipal taxes, or whether they want the work to be done with money from the already heavily budgeted municipal treasury and the added load of stiffly increased taxes." [18. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, Nov. 9, 1935, p.6.]

There is no question that the fact of the Federal Government's willingness to make an outright gift to the district of $1,500,000 armed the bond campaigners with a powerful argument. [19. Pearl, op. cit., pp. 62-3.] But even more powerful was the argument that if the bonds carried, the immediate employment of some 1400 Santa Monica residents would follow, and via their wages a large part of the $1,500,000 would begin to circulate through local channels of trade, blessing empty tills as it traveled. The school bonds carried, and with a record-breaking nine-to-one majority. [20. Board Minutes, Nov. 18, 1935.], 1952, 1935, 1930s

Depression Antidote

That the nation's public schools suffered severely during the depression of the 1930's is undisputed. New school construction, except in rare instances was out of the question, and in some districts funds for even ordinary repairs were lacking. Some schools were forced to shorten the term so that teachers' salaries might be saved. In many communities, because of shifts in population and for other reasons, schools were badly overcrowded, with pupils often receiving only half-day instruction because of a lack of classrooms. [21. H.H. LinnSome Practical Suggestions for W.P.A. Works in Public Schools, American School Board Journal, 92, March, 1936, 27-29.]

But bad as conditions were generally, the observation probably is not unwarranted that the schools of southern California, due to the exigencies described in the preceding section of this chapter, were doubly pressed for money with which to repair damaged buildings and maintain an educational program on greatly reduced tax moneys. Their comeback and even forward progress are doubtless due, at least in large measure, to the aid received from the Works Progress Administration. [22. Charles H. Judd Federal work Program for Better Schools, School and Society, 65, March 21, 1937, 410.] The establishment of the S.E.R.A. (State Emergency Relief Administration) had made possible a start on the demolition of condemned buildings, and the Santa Monica School District, faced with the necessity of rebuilding almost every schoolhouse, had made application for additional funds with which to finance required reconstruction. But the state had only limited emergency money to spend, and the rehabilitation program undertaken with S.E.R.A. labor was forced to an abrupt end. [23. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 7G.]

The money allotted to these and various other S.E.R.A. projects in the vicinity, had alleviated somewhat the unemployment problem in Santa Monica. But with the exhaustion of the emergency funds, the economic outlook again took on a darkened aspect. Then, ten weeks after the close of the State projects and just one week after the approval of the $290,000 school bonds, the new projects secured by Morton Anderson and approved by Washington, D.C., under the Works Progress Administration, got under way. Unemployed men had jobs again, and local merchants, because of the wages of these men were able to smile with less restraint than formerly. [24. Pearl, op. cit., p. 64.]

The army of W.P.A. artisans and laborers who swarmed over the projects worked two shifts of five hours each; while Paul M. White, superintendent of construction, and his corps of three inspectors worked double and triple time, determined to make as much headway as possible while an abundance of labor was available. To them it was self-evident that when other nearby communities got their reconstruction programs under way, their demands might easily drain the labor market. [25. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 7G.]

Substantial savings were effected for the school district when Superintendent White established shops where W.P.A. labor and salvage materials could be utilized. Ventilators, ornamental iron work, cabinets, and other construction accessories were made there, as well as the window frames and sashes for the entire building program. Other shops made and kept in repair tools used in demolition, remodeling, and landscape projects. Besides the financial saving these prefabrication shops effected, the entire program was enabled to proceed at a faster rate than would otherwise have been possible.

The Santa Monica schools secured maximum benefits from the funds provided by the Works Progress Administration. John Adams Junior High School, the Roosevelt School, the Washington School, and the Grant School were provided with new plants John Muir and Franklin elementary schools were made quake-resistant by the removal of the second story and the strengthening of the lower floor, with additional classrooms being provided to replace those that had been removed. Each of the buildings was modernized and brought up to state standards. Although few changes were made in the original plans of the Lincoln Junior High School and the Madison and McKinley elementary schools, all these buildings were completely rehabilitated and made earthquake resistant. Structural reinforcement, walls filled with concrete by the Gunite process, and modernization adapted these plants to more modern school use.

Additional work projects of the W.P.A. meanwhile were paving playgrounds, turfing athletic fields, landscaping and refencing school grounds, 1939, 1937, 1936, 1931, 1930s

Wherever possible, the school administration found work for as many men and women as the Works Progress Administration would provide, 1939, 1937, 1936, 1931, 1930s

Office workers were placed with the Board of Education and in the offices of the several schools, 1939, 1937, 1936, 1931, 1930s

while various art projects received administration support since these served to beautify the school plants, 1939, 1937, 1936, 1931, 1930s

For many school children in Santa Monica today, the depression of the 1930's is a thing about which they merely have heard. But they cannot fail to be impressed with the pieces of sculpture, the paintings, the fountains, which are a part of nearly every school in Santa Monica, and which came to life under the stresses of that dark period in the nation's history, 1939, 1937, 1936, 1931, 1930s

Only those who lived through it can fully appreciate the larger values of the projects carried on by the W.P.A.

The employment provided and the resultant stimulation of business did much to bring the city of Santa Monica from the worries of the depression to a more stable economy that followed. [28, Pearl, op. cit., p. 64.], 1939, 1937, 1936, 1931, 1930s

One by one the schools got back into the finished buildings, and the school program again resumed a more regular pattern. Pupils and teachers alike experienced some trying years when compelled to use makeshift arrangements in improvised tents and bungalows. And yet those years were not without their compensations.

True, as Hannah Ogden, teacher at the McKinley School during the reconstruction period, points out, the tents were sometimes cold; the wind billowed the canvas walls distractingly, and those walls were more than a little damp when leaks developed during the rainy season.

But this only added authenticity to the "let's play pioneer" spirit which pervaded school life at that time, and gave to it a certain thrill, 1952, 1939, 1937, 1933, 1931, 1930s

And on pleasant days, the bird song that interrupted a lesson, the intrusion into the classroom of a bee or a butterfly, the excursion time into the open sunlight at a moment's notice for periods of work activity, all gave added freshness and spontaneity to the business of acquiring an education. [29. Personal interview with Hannah Ogden, May 23, 1951; Santa Monica, California.], 1952, 1939, 1937, 1933, 1931, 1930s

During the actual work on the buildings, the plying of hammer and saw, the riveters at work, and the ceaseless activity that went on just outside the open tent flaps, served to inspire the writing of poems, songs, and stories, and as well give endless impetus to invention.

Practical use was made of the building debris. It was no uncommon thing to see a child earnestly exploring piles of discarded lumber ends from which could be constructed boats, mast heads, loading platforms, or other structures. Sand and cement were likewise commandeered from construction work to bring life miniatures of Hoover Dam or the Los Angeles Harbor, 1952, 1939, 1937, 1933, 1931, 1930s

Teachers found less difficulty than might have been expected in adjusting the school work to the primitive conditions forced upon them by the closing of the schools, They were quick to utilize the hazards of a school lot more or less pre-empted by machinery, scaffolding, excavations, and unsteady plank walks,

to keep pupils safety conscious,
with the older ones looking out for those younger than themselves.
When it was found that passing from tent to tent for classes was both awkward and noisy, the children, under the teacher's guidance, developed the important trait of personal responsibility, and themselves brought forth order and quiet.
Many of the classes took great pride in beautifying the grounds around their tent homes. [30. Pearl, op. cit., p. 66.]
A library under the trees, with only shrubbery and benches to mark its boundaries, was a thing to enjoy rather than to be deplored.
Young readers found it both easy and delightful to concentrate on a reference relating to their classroom work, or just to browse through the many attractive books that were available.
This freedom and the activity programs carried on in the sunshine, made undeniably for health and happiness, and were taken into account when plans were drawn for the new school buildings, 1952, 1939, 1937, 1933, 1931, 1930s

An appraisal of the work accomplished by the Board of Education and the W.P.A. would certainly reveal many values to Santa Monica and its schools. Total expenditures reached nearly $3,000,000, of which the Board of Education supplied less than $950,000, or about 32 per cent of the total cost. [31. Beach Cities Labor Journal, Santa Monica Schools Edition, October, 1937, p. 3.] Clearly, despite the period of severe economic stress through which the schools had gone from 1931 to 1939, they emerged from the depression strengthened both physically and educationally, 1952, 1939, 1937, 1933, 1931, 1930s

Formerly at the northwest corner of Fourth and Ashland. The oldest existing school site in Santa Monica was established as Washington School in 1890 and has been in continuous school use since. The present building was constructed in 1934 after the 1933 earthquake and is patterned after the "Santa Monica Plan" developed by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell, who also designed the Roosevelt School at Lincoln and Montana. The "Santa Monica Plan," incorporating outdoor activity areas immediately acccessible to classrooms, was a result of experiences incurred by having to hold classes in tents for a year after the earthquake. 1983

Santa Monica School District Adult Education, 1952, 1951, 1916, 1915, 1910, 1900, 1889

Adult Education:: As early as July, 1889, adult education had begun in the Santa Monica Schools. As the Board Minutes record:

"The application of L.B. Lawson was granted to conduct a writing class in the school building [Sixth Street School] the room to be designated by Mr. Rowell [principal], provided the district be at no expense and the house to be left in as good condition as when he takes it." [52. Board Minutes, July 6, 1889,], 1952, 1889

Again, in the spring of 1900, a Mrs. Cook was granted the use of Room 6 in the Sixth Street School to conduct a "kindergarten and Mother's Study Group. Rent for same to be free." [53. Board Minutes, Mar. 6, 1900.]

Mrs. Cook, Kindergarten, Mother's Study Group, Sixth St, School, 1952, 1900

These early classes were voluntary efforts on the part of individuals interested in forming classes for their own improvement, 1952, 1908

In 1910 the Board of Education took official action to establish a regular evening school program, by authorizing a need and feasibility study for an Evening Elementary School be established as soon as it is definitely ascertained that conditions warrant the establishment of such school, and Superintendent is hereby authorized to make a preliminary enrollment of such persons as may desire to attend an evening school and present to the Board of Education, at his convenience a report embodying such preliminary enrollment and other information as may be serviceable [sic] to the Board of Education in determining the matter, also to communicate with the School Boards of several cities of Southern California as to the success of evening schools where the same has been established." [54. Ibid., Aug. 8, 1910.]

The Superintendent returned his report early in September and the board immediately authorized the establishment of four classes. These were held for adults who wished to study the elementary subjects and complete their grammar school education.

In 1910 the Board of Education established a regular evening school program, of four classes for adults who wished to finished their Grammar School Education, 1952, 1910

Five years later the program was expanded to include classes in English for non-English speaking adults 1952, 1915

Nettie B. Rice [ -1951], 1952,

Teacher, Second Grade, South Side School [1903-1907]
Principal of Garfield School [1907-1922],
Teacher, Americanization Classes, Night School,
Teacher, English classes to Mexican Laborers [1915 - ]
Teacher, Lincoln Junior High [1922-1951]
who for some time had been concerned about the acute attendance problems and migratory enrollments of children of Mexican laborers.
Upon investigation, she determined that the fathers of such children enrolled in her school had difficulty in securing and holding jobs because of their inability to speak English.
She immediately brought her findings to the attention of Superintendent Rebok, and persuaded him to ask the Board's permission for her to establish classes in English for the Mexican laborers.
The board approved the plan, and the evening classes then established have become a firmly entrenched part of the adult education program. [55. Personal interview with Elmer M. Krehbiel, director of the division of adult education, Santa Monica City College, May 28, 1951; Santa Monica, California.]
Although now retired from her regular teaching duties, after forty-eight years of service to day pupils, Miss Rice still continues in the evening school program the English classes for the foreign speaking which she initiated over thirty-six years ago.
Besides these, she has also taught Americanization classes for those desiring to obtain their citizenship papers.
It is perhaps worthy of mention that Nettie Rice has served the Santa Monica City Schools for a longer period of time than has any other teacher in the system. First employed by the Board in 1903, she was assigned to teach second grade in the South Side School. After four years in this position, she was appointed principal of the Garfield School, in which capacity she served from 1907 until 1922. From 1922, when she returned to the classroom until her retirement in 1951, Miss Rice was a teacher in the Lincoln Junior High School. [56. Pearl, op. cit., p. 34.] Her devotion to her work and her selfless service to both her day and evening classes have won for her the admiration and esteem of the entire community.

A.R. Veenker, 1952, 1928

Vice-principal of Santa Monica High School, 1952, 1928,

In 1916, the adult education program was taken over by the high school and was supervised by the high school principal [W.F. Barnum], 1952, 1916

Subjects were added to the program as the need arose, the heaviest demand being in the commercial subjects and the manipulative skills; i.e., shop work, sewing and millinery, ceramics, weaving, and mechanical drawing. [57. Personal interview with Elmer M. Krehbiel, May 28, 1951; Santa Monica, California.], 1952, 1916
More recently classes in many other areas have been added to the adult education program at the request of individuals in the community. 1952, 1951
Some of these are upholstering, jewelry making, driver education, minerals and gems, public speaking, hooked rug making, and wood carving, 1952, 1951
The adult education program offers classes in orchestra, civic opera, community chorus, civic band, and vocational orchestra. [58.Bulletin of Information and Announcement of Courses, 1950-51, Santa Monica: Santa Monica City College, 1951, pp. 74-77.], 1952, 1951

Ten years after the evening school came under the supervision of the high school principal, it was recognized as a separate department of the high school with an administrative head of its own. In September of 1926, Robert Evans was appointed principal of the evening high school and was given full responsibility for the establishment of a program and the employment and supervision of teachers. [60. Board Minutes, Sept. 2, 1926.] Upon his resignation in May, 1928, the Board of Education had difficulty in locating a person qualified to assume the responsibility for the school's administration. Thus, for one semester, the Evening High School was administered by W.F. Barnum and A.R. Veenker, principal and vice-principal of Santa Monica High School, 1952, 1928, 1926, 1916

Prior to 1937, vocational classes were included in the program of the Evening High School; but upon the establishment in that year of the Santa Monica Technical School, such courses were offered there.

Over a period of years many adults have enrolled in one course of a recreational or semi-vocational nature, only to become interested in more academic subjects and to pursue those until they have completed the requirements for a high school diploma, 1952,

Moreover, within the last four years the adult education program has approved courses leading to graduation with an associate of arts degree from Santa Monica City College. [59. Ibid., p. 77.], 1952, 1952-48

Elmer M. Krehbiel, a member of the Evening High School faculty, was finally appointed by the Board as the new principal in January of 1929, and for a year he administered the school without relinquishing any of his regular teaching duties. Then, in 1930, the State Department of Education ruled that districts maintaining evening high schools provide supervision of classes proportionate to the number of classes maintained.

Under the new ruling, Krehbiel was given a half-time administrative and half-time teaching assignment. But as the adult program grew, more of his time had to be spent in administration and supervision, with the result that, in 1937, the principalship was made a full-time position.

Santa Monica City College, 1952, 1945

Elmer Sandmeyer, President, Santa Monica City College [1945- ], 1952

Jurisdiction over the three divisions, the General College, concerned primarily with general education, pre- and semi-professional curricula, engineering, and the fine arts; the Technical Schools, concerned with trade and technical education; and the Adult Education Center, concerned primarily with evening classes. [62. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 12G.]

Elmer Krehbiel was made director of the division of adult education, 1952, 1945

After two years of study and discussion, the Board of Education, on June 25, 1945, authorized the consolidation of the Junior college, Technical School, and Adult Evening school under the name of Santa Monica City College, with three divisions:

the General College, concerned primarily with general education, pre- and semi-professional curricula, engineering, and the fine arts;

the Technical Schools, concerned with trade and technical education;

and the Adult Education Center, concerned primarily with evening classes. [62. Santa Monica Evening Outlook, July 8, 1950, p. 12G.]

At the time of consolidation,

Elmer Sandmeyer became president of the City College, with jurisdiction over the three divisions, and
Elmer Krehbiel was made director of the division of adult education. [63. Board Minutes, May 16, 1945.]

Within the three divisions of the City College, provision is made for all types of classes that will meet the needs and the desires of the adults of the community.

Requests each year for additional classes and t
The waiting lists that much be established each year in many subjects.
But it is recognized that the measure of service an adult education program can render a community is limited only by the support which the community itself gives to that program, thus making it possible continually to widen the scope of work offered. In Santa Monica, this is the purpose for which the adult education program exists.

In July of 1945, when all post-high-school education in Santa Monica was administratively consolidated to for a city college, [76. See discussion supra, p. 195.] the junior college became the General Division of the new organization. Its curriculum continued to provide for both college-preparatory and terminal students, and the opportunity to complete the first two years of university work at less expense and while living at home. [77. Bulletin of Information . . ., 1951-52, p. 24.]

The second division of the City College, the Santa Monica Technical School, provides education and training for students wishing immediate placement in employment. The purpose of the Technical Division of the City College is:

"1. To encourage and develop social and economic competence; an appreciation of the dignity and importance of trade and industrial skills; and the ability to do a worth-while job effectively.
"2. To provide educational experience that will help the individual to select, prepare for, enter, and progress in an occupation." [78.Bulletin of Information . . ., 1951-52, p. 71.]
With the increase in industry throughout Santa Monica since World War II, there is an urgent need for the training of students with salable skills. 1952, 1948

The Adult Education Division, the third component of the Santa Monica City College, has been discussed in an earlier part of this chapter. [79. Missing. Supra.], 1952, 1948

The City College still needed a home. Expanding enrollments housed in the old, temporary bungalows; a slight drop in school building costs; and bond money which had been waiting five years to be spent for the development of the new City College plant, prompted the Board of Education and the new Superintendent of Schools, William S. Briscoe, to ask for speed in planning the proposed construction. In October of 1948, Superintendent Briscoe, with the approval of the Board of Education, appointed a director of educational planning, whose first assignment was to develop educational specifications and detailed requirements for the new buildings. [80. Johnson, op. cit., p. 9.] Milo Johnson, general trade coordinator of the Technical Division of Santa Monica City College, was the man selected to fill the new post., 1952, 1948

Johnson began immediately to determine the needs of the various divisions and departments of City College that would be housed on the new campus. A faculty building committee was organized to collect information from various faculty members with reference to requirements for room size, storage facilities, lighting, and equipment. The new director worked carefully with the committee and the individual departments in coordinating their plans, and time to time called in consultants to advise on specific problems. [81. Ibid., p.25.], 1952, 1948

The results of the preliminary study were consolidated in a set of specifications called Design Standards for the New Santa Monica City College Buildings. Upon approval of the design standards by the Board of Education, the specifications were given to the architects to complete the plans as specified. Director Johnson worked in close cooperation with the firm and the plans which finally emerged were considered most satisfactory. 1952, 1950

The plans for the first group of buildings, about one-half the total needed for the City College, were ready for Board approval in June of 1950. Subsequently, bids were advertised and a contract let in August, 1950, for the construction of the administration building, the main classroom building, library, student activities building, speech arts building, art building, and music building. The total cost of seven buildings, including site improvements, approximated $1,200,000. [82. Johnson, op. cit., p. 67.], 1952, 1950

The City College was, at last, assured of a permanent home. Ground was broken on September 11, 1950, for the construction of the first seven buildings. These are to be of reinforced concrete construction and of contemporary modern design. Off-street parking facilities will be provided for approximately 500 automobiles, 1952, 1950

President Sandmeyer expressed his pleasure in at last having a college that will provide adequate educational opportunities for students on the junior college level and one in which the entire community can be proud:

"There had been so many plans made involving the moving of bungalows and the construction of less permanent buildings that in 1949, when plans were finally approved for the construction of a real city college plant, I knew that Santa Monica would have a City College campus second to none in California. [83. Personal interview with Elmer C. Sandmeyer, May 22, 1951; Santa Monica, California.], 1952, 1950s

But a half-finished City College could not fulfill President Sandmeyer's expectation, and to complete the college plant required funds. Thus, the Board of Education, upon recommendation of Superintendent Briscoe, authorized a survey of the population, enrollment trends, and school building needs throughout the district, realizing that the submitting of another bond issue to the voters was inevitable. [84.Board Minutes, April 10, 1950.] From the results of the survey, the board determined the needs of the district at all levels to be nearly $5,000,000 for land acquisition, buildings, and improvements. The bond issue was submitted to the voters in November of 1950, and met with their approval. As a result, City College will receive additional facilities through the construction of a large science building, a gymnasium, a cafeteria-homemaking building, an auditorium, and further additions to the music and art buildings. [85. Ibid., Sept. 11, 1950.], 1952, 1950

Plans for the science buildings have been approved and when bids are received, it is anticipated that construction will begin before the end of 1951. Plans are under way on the other buildings, and as the Board of Education approves them and conditions seem favorable, construction will proceed. When completed, the total City College plant will represent an estimated investment of $4,000,000 in site, buildings, and improvements. [86. Personal interview with Elmer C. Sandmeyer, May 22, 1951; Santa Monica, California.]

The students, faculty, and administration are eagerly awaiting the time when they can make the move to the new campus. Construction is progressing ahead of schedule on the first group of buildings, and they are expected to be ready for occupancy early in 1952, 1952.

Santa Monica School District Junior College, Santa Monica Junior College, 1952, 1937, 1930, 1930s, 1929, 1907

Prospect Hill [1929- ]
Ralph H. Bush, President of Santa Monica Junior College, 1952, 1929
Santa Monica Junior College was first organized in September of 1929, operating under the California Junior College Law of 1907. This law provided that:

"The board of trustees of any city, district union, joint union or county high school may prescribe postgraduate courses of study for the graduates of such high school, or other high schools, which courses of study shall approximate the studies prescribed in the first two years of university courses." [64. School Code, 1929, Sacramento: State Printing Office, 1929, Sec. 3.351.]

The Board of Education decided to keep abreast of the thirty-three other communities in California which provided such instruction, by extending the educational opportunities in Santa Monica from kindergarten through the junior college. [65. Board Minutes, Nov. 26, 1928.]

Accordingly, rooms on the second floor of the high school [on Prospect Hill] were assigned to the junior college and it opened with a registration of 152 students, 1952, 1929

Additional students in February raised the total registration for the year to 228, 1952, 1930

In a public address, shortly after the opening of the junior college, Bush [Ralph H. Bush, who had founded the nation's first junior college in Joliet, Illinois] and who became the first president of Santa Monica Junior College) said: [68. Ibid., pp. 113-114.]

"About once in every generation there arises a new movement in the field of education. The present generation is witnessing this movement in the reorganization of secondary education with its resultant development of the junior and senior high schools and junior colleges.
"With the great development in the use of machinery less and less boys and girls were needed in industry. As a consequence they were able to stay in school and have the various state legislatures passing the anti-child labor laws and laws raising the compulsory school attendance of children from 10 to 12, 14, 16 and 18. In order to care for all these pupils of the 'teen' age, school plants sprang up all over the country with buildings, equipment, and facilities undreamed of a generation ago. The school day was lengthened as well as the school year. Where in the 1880's and 90's children were needed to help on the farm or in factories, necessitating short school terms and school days, now they stayed in school.
"Educational leaders came to believe that the courses given the first two years in college could be given in communities capable of supporting a good high school. In support of this idea the first public junior college was opened in February, 1902, in Joliet, Illinois. Today there are approximately 500 (1937) public and private junior colleges in the United States."

And the rapid growth of the student body within the first two years of the junior college's existence clearly indicated the need for additional classrooms. [66. Martin, op. cit., p. 18.]

The old Garfield Elementary School, conveniently located just north of the high school between Sixth and Seventh Streets on the east and west and Olympic Boulevard and Michigan Avenue north and south, became available in 1930.

The building was remodeled for junior college use, and equipped with the necessary science laboratories and demonstration rooms. [67. Pearl, op. cit., p. 115.]

Ralph H. Bush, who had founded the nation's first junior college in Joliet, Illinois, was secured by the Board of Education to organize the new junior college in Santa Monica. Long an advocate of the junior college program, Bush enthusiastically set about establishing a curriculum and activities that would meet the needs of the post-high-school students in Santa Monica.

Santa Monica Junior College offered two types of curricula:

one to prepare students for entrance into a university upon their graduation from junior college, 1952, 1930s
the other, of a semi-professional nature, to satisfy the needs of students wishing to complete a year or two of schooling beyond the high school level before seeking employment. [69. Ralph H. Bush Santa Monica Junior College Annual Report, 1930; in files of the Santa Monica Board of Education, p. 2.], 1952, 1930, 1930s

When the rebuilding and remodeling of the Garfield plant was completed, the new junior college campus contained sixteen sturdy bungalows housing laboratories, art and music departments, administrative and faculty offices, a field house, men's and women's lounge rooms, an auditorium, and a total of twenty-four classrooms, 1952, 1930s

As the college continued to grow, additional bungalows were added to provide needed classrooms, 1952, 1930s

After the 1933 earthquake, the brick building had to be abandoned and tent-frame bungalows were built on its foundation and around the edges. Although the temporary quarters of the junior college were somewhat inadequate for the best program, "There existed a close association between the students and the faculty that might otherwise have been lost in a larger, finer building." [70. Personal interview with President Elmer C. Sandmeyer, Santa Monica City College, May 22, 1951; Santa Monica, California.]

Subsequent to 1933, the enrollment at the junior college climbed to new heights, and additional bungalows crowded in the small campus. Thus, in 1940, the Board of Education purchased a new 20-acre site a mile and a half to the east of the existing school in anticipation of developing a new junior college campus. Preliminary plans were already under consideration when the entry of the United States into World War II brought the possibility of a new college abruptly to a halt. [71. Milo Perry Johnson A Study of the Planning Methods and Techniques for Building New Junior Colleges, unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of California, Los Angeles, 1950, p. 16.]

By 1944, it had become evident that additional buildings and equipment were needed to meet the needs of increased enrollments brought about by the upsurge of population during the war. But to the Board of Education it was equally clear that the building needs of the district would have to be met by some means other than current tax funds, 1952, 1944

Percy R. Davis, 1952, 1948, 1944, 1932,

Superintendent of Schools [1932-1948], 1952, 1948, 1944, 1932
To estimate the needs of the elementary and junior high schools, the high school, and the junior college. [72. Johnson, op. cit., p. 17., 1952, 1944

Accordingly, the Board requested Percy R. Davis, Superintendent of Schools from 1932 to 1948, and his staff to estimate the needs of the elementary and junior high schools, the high school, and the junior college. [72. Johnson, op. cit., p. 17.] Results of this survey revealed the necessity of raising $3,500,000 for the various schools, and a proposed bond issue in that amount was placed before the voters of the Santa Monica School District. The bond issue carried, and $1,283,000 was earmarked for the purpose of building a new city college. At that time it was proposed that half the bungalows, which were still in use at the old campus, be moved to the new site and remodeled. The other half of the needed buildings were to be of new, one-story, frame-and-stucco construction to conform to the architectural style of the remodeled bungalows. [73. Ibid., p. 18.], 1952, 1945, 1944

In September of 1946, the architect firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell was commissioned to draw plans for the new college, such plans to take into consideration use of existing buildings and the new ones as proposed. These plans were only in the preliminary stages when soaring postwar building costs prompted the Board to call a halt on the project. [74. Ibid., pp. 17-18.]

In 1947, heavy pressure by many of the sports enthusiasts of the community was put upon the Board of Education to build a suitable stadium on the new junior college site.

The proponents of the plan declared that neither the high school nor the junior college had suitable facilities for interschool sports activities.

The Board acceded to the demands and authorized the construction of a stadium with team dressing rooms under the structure, and a seating capacity of 5000 spectators. The total cost of this project, including landscaping and lighting, ran in excess of $200,000. [75.Board Minutes, Jan. 14, 1946.], 1952, 1947

Washington School [1903- ], 1952, 1908, 1903,

4th and Ashland [1903- ]

Formerly at the northwest corner of Fourth and Ashland. The oldest existing school (originally the South Side School) site in Santa Monica was established as Washington School in 1890 and has been in continuous school use since. The present building was constructed in 1934 after the 1933 earthquake and is patterned after the "Santa Monica Plan" developed by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell, who also designed the Roosevelt School at Lincoln and Montana. The "Santa Monica Plan," incorporating outdoor activity areas immediately acccessible to classrooms, was a result of experiences incurred by having to hold classes in tents for a year after the earthquake.

Built originally in either 1890 or 1895 as the Washington School at Fourth and Ashland, Phillips Chapel, CME Church, 401 Bay St., Moved to this site in 1908 and dedicated on 4 October 1908. 1983, 1949 1910, 1908,

(From 18-- until 1907, untreated sewage was disposed of via a short pier at Pier St. Ryan and Kinney extended that Pier and sewage outlet; Over that pier, the Ocean Park Pier at Pier Av. In 1904 Fraser began his Pier. In September 1907 Santa Monica passed a sewer bond act which enabled them to build the Santa Monica Municipal Pier long enough to dispose of untreated sewage, 1990, 1907

The Santa Monica Sixth Street School, 1952, 1891, 1890, 1884, 1876

The first public school building, built on town lots on Sixth St., between Oregon and Arizona Aves, donated by Sen. J.P. Jones and Col. R.S. Baker, in the summer of 1876, it opened in September, 1876, 1952
Bids were let on April 18, 1876 and six bidders responded, 1952
The contract was awarded to William Lloyd for $2850, 1952, 1876

and he was asked to post bond for $1000 for the "faithful completion of said contract.", 1952, 1876

The building was of frame construction with two classrooms on the first floor and a large room above. The upper room was not entirely finished but was used on many occasions for entertainments, public meetings, and dances, 1952, 1876

The exterior was of simple colonial style with clapboard siding and was adorned with an impressive bell-tower. [8. Board Minutes, June 9, 1876.], 1952

The cost of the building rose as it neared completion. The board paid William Lloyd the sum of $4150 for the building, 1952, 1876

This sum did not include all items of expense, however, for the board minutes of June 9, 1876, contain the following entry:

" . . . and also paid $12.50, Wilson's bill for stationary, O.A. Snow, $6.00 for blackboard, L.T. Fisher for privy (lumber and wood) $14.50. S.I. Rolf for school furniture $6.25 . . ." [9. Loc. cit.]

The total cost of the building plus equipment consumed nearly all of the tax money that had been voted at the special election, 1952, 1867

For over fifteen years the Sixth Street School was the only public school in the area of Santa Monica, 1952, 1891, 1867

Many of the boys and girls had to come long distances to attend classes. They came from the areas now known as Venice and Ocean Park, east from the area of the Soldiers Home, and from several canyons north of Santa Monica Canyon, 1952, 1891, 1867

Many of the children rode horseback, tying their horses to a hitching post in front of the school, 1952, 1891, 1867

Others, it was reported, boarded in town during the week, in order to partake of the opportunity of attending schools in Santa Monica, and returned home on week ends, 1952, 1891, 1867

Prior to 1937, vocational classes were included in the program of the Evening High School; but upon the establishment in that year of the Santa Monica Technical School, such courses were offered there, 1952, 1937
In 1938, the Evening Technical High School was opened and operates today as a part of the Technical School rather than as a unit of the adult education program. Since 1939, there has been a growing trend toward closer cooperation between the Evening High School, City College, and the Technical School. [61. Personal interview with Elmer M.

[p. 87] "In 1871, after the discovery of the Crown Point bonanza, John P. Jones and Alvinza Hayward took control of the Savage and ran the mine for the benefit of their mills, 1943, 1871
[p. 87] "Hayward began to boom Savage stock early in 1872 by giving out mysterious reports of a rich strike, and by confining the miners underground-an old Comstock trick. The miners did no [p. 88] work and lived on the fat of the land. Great excitement followed. The price of the stock rose rapidly from $62 a share on February 1 to $725 on April 25. In May [ 1972] the Crown Point boom collapsed and Savage with it. There had been no rich strike; it was a cold-blooded stock deal that hurt many people. [Footnote:The San Francisco Chronicle of May 19 charges Jones and Hayward with unloading Savage on their friends.), 1943
[p. 87] " . . . In the annual report of July 1, 1872, the superintendent, genial A.C. "Lon" Hamilton, stated that 47,505 tons of ore had been mined and milled at a loss of $3.25 per ton. The next year 33,414 tons were milled at a loss of $13.29 per ton, and assessments amounting to $640,000 were levied, 1943, 1872
The fortunes of George Hearst, John O. Earl, Robert Morrow, A.E. Head, Andrew B. McCreery, and Charles N. Felton had their beginnings in the Gould & Curry and the Savage, although none of them acquired a million dollars there, 1943, 1860s
