A Little Pictorial History of Franklin High School

  When Winter 1963 graduated, the main administration building was in the process of being demolished. Here are some pictures of the buildings we knew as Franklin High School during 1960-62.

Both the picture on the left and on the right are taken from the L.A. Public Library website. They are of FHS c. 1928.

Picture on the left: the Library is to the right and the main building is to the left.

 

Picture on the right, the opposite view.

Picture on the left: The walkway between the Library and the Auditorium (I think....).

These three pictures were scanned from the 1961 Almanac

On left, Boy's Gym looking north on Ave.54 (1962)

On right, Boy's Gym (1962)

One of the temporary buildings where we spent most of our senior year (1962) I found the three previous pictures in the Atlantisian scrap book and I'm not sure of their origin. Probably donated by the school paper, the Franklin Press.
