This photo shows the celebration in September 1910, when construction was underway for the new

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.
