the Whittier grade school.
The Whittier grade school burned down on February 2nd, 1953.   A new school was built on the same site in 1954 and in 1963 another new section was added. the new re-built Whittier grade school. 24 Whittier graduates in 1952. Due to the fire, the 1953 graduating class had their ceremony in the new Civic Center (pictured below).   Needs work done on the parking lot, eh? 35 Whittier graduates in 1953.
