Finished High School

The beam above the door says Arcadia High School, but the school taught students in grades 1-12.

Gymnasium

On the left through the trees you can barely see the gymnasium built onto the back of the school.

In 1935 the Gabel and Swamp Schools were consolidated with Arcadia to form the Arcadia Township

Unit School. Home Economics and Shop were added to the curriculum, and the faculty was enlarged.
