f 1f ',, M..-4 Aftired 'S in the mode of the year 1904, students of the first school pose for a formal picture in front of their packing shed schoolhouse SCHOOL OPENED for the first time in Arcadia in September of 1903 in a pack- ing shed donated by Lucky Baldwin, the founder of Arcadia. Located at the corner of Santa Anita and Falling Leaf, which is now Huntington Drive, The first little school had an enrollment for its first year of fifty-eight pupils. Some of the students had been transferred to the school from adjoining school districts. Having never heard of a school bus, some walked long distances from home to school with sunburn and dust a wholesome part of their formal educa- tion. They either trudged afoot or rode a pony or the family rig if they were for- tunate enough to own one. The shed remained in use as the only school in Arcadia for four years. Student enrollment for these years was recorded as the following: in 1904, 46 pupils, in 1905, 35 pupils, and in 1906, 42 pupils. A plaque now commemorates the site of the first school. The dedication serv- ices were held in celebration for Ar- cadia's sixtieth anniversary in Oct., 1963. Students who attended the school were on hand to help present the plaque.
