In 1923 girls adopted a school uniform , " a dark blue skirt with a white middy . " In 1925 a new fine arts building for the high school was erected on the southwest corner of Grevillea and Manchester , replacing the Truax Candy Kitchen , but it was severely damaged by the Long Beach earthquake of 1933 . It was " later rebuilt with WPA help but lost its magnificent stairway and all its fireplaces . " Temporary classrooms were built on Olive Street , " all too cold in winter and too hot most of the time . " The athletic field on the west side of the campus , later called Badenoch Field , was used for physical education and sporting events . In 1937 , agricultural classes were ended at the Farm and Sentinel Field was dedicated there for sports activities . By 1938 there were more than 3,000 students and 141 teachers at the high school
