The building seen in the first picture on [this page](http://www.canogaparkhs.org/history.jsp?rn=9214742) is still there. Somebody (an alumnus about my age) told me recently that it is the only remaining structure of the original campus.

Oops—I think it’s actually the building in the first picture on [this page](http://www.canogaparkhs.org/history3.jsp?rn=9730636). I’ll look next time I’m by that way, but I’m pretty sure this is the one.

No, no! Surely NO! No one was ALIVE THEN! 😃
