More about some photos
The photo of the old school was provided by Dr. Kathleen Fitzgerald, daughter of Arline Dwyer, class of 1938. We are indebted to Mariposa photographer and historian Leroy Radanovich (class of 1950) for the following: The building to the left was a class room building that was used for storage and wrestling class in my day. It burned down in l949 or 50. (I was there). The two buildings were built in l917-18. The original contractor went broke and the buildings were finished by the community. Basically the two buildings were wood frame covered with chicken wire and stucco. The state condemned the buildings almost immediately but we still used them until l950. We used that building for many things including the showers in the basement. Girls too, somewhere up stairs. No classrooms were used because there was no heat in the building. Also the drain from the basement showers was plugged up most of the time so the water would get up to your ankles. The main building was torn down to erect the gym in l950. The new school (still in use) was built in l937-38 as a WPA project with a private contractor doing the construction. It opened in '38. J.L Spriggs was principal and Cleo Adelsbach was Vice-Principal. They saved the money for the Gym and it was paid for with cash in l950. It opened my senior year and we were the first basketball team to play in the new facility. |
