LAWRENCE SMITH Editor-in-Chief Bzlsinesr Ilflmzager THE THEIVIE In this book we have tried to show growth-the growth of a town from Rancho San Pasqual to the city of South Pasadena-from the rude chart of the Rancho in the front to the map of the modern city in the back-from Indians, Span- iards, and early settlers to modern youth. Only sixty years ago the first American child was born in South Pasadena. But one hundred years before this the Spaniards had marched through this country leav- ing monks and Christian missions behind them. On Easter morning, 1770, .Don Gaspar de Portola, with a group of soldiers and monks, knelt on the banks of the Arroyo Seco while Father Crespi said the mass. The huge oak under which they stopped was used as a crucifix, a cross being carved in its bark. As the Fields were ablaze with poppies, the Spaniards named this land La Sabinalla de San Pascual, or the Grand Altar Cloth of Holy Easter. A year, later San Gabriel Mission was established. In 1801, Dona Eulalia Perez de Guillon came to the mission, acting as nurse and teacher to the Indians. To show their appreciation, on Easter Day, 1827, the padres deeded her 14,000 acres comprising the northeast corner of the mission lands, of which South Pasadena is now a part. They named this land Rancho San Pasqual. As Padre Jose Zalvedia saw the need for a grist mill, El Molino Viejo was built about a mile and a half from the mission in 1812. In 1843 the ranch was deeded as a wedding gift to Colonel Manuel Garfias. His foreman was housed in Adobe Flores, which is still standing at the foot of Ray- mond Hill. Here, at a hastily called midnight council on January 11, 1847, it was decided to offer a surrender to General Fremont in Cahuenga Pass. After Fremont came the settlers, and with the settlers came the founding of schools. South Pasadena's first permanent school was a one-,room structure which was built in 1885, the year the city was laid out. School was opened the first Mon- day in October with George W. Wilson as teacher. Later this school was enlarged until it was the large two-story building now known as the El Centro School. Here in 1905 high school classes were begun with a student body of thirty-two and 'a faculty of three. In 1907 the main building of the present high school was completed. Today there are eight large buildings in the high school group, and five grammar schools. Growth and progress! These characteristics of South Pasadena we have tried to show to you students of South Pasadena High School. THE EDITOR. Page Eight
