Along with the drawing of the old, original gymniasium, this drawing is from the Senior Portrait pages of the 1934 "Skip" yearbook. It is believed to be the original building with Shops for specialized courses in wood working and auto repairs and body work. If anyone knows more about this building, and whether it was for other use, please let us know via email. We will appreciate your feedback.

From the 1934 "Skip" yearbook, this drawing of the original gymnasium of Sutter Creek Union High School, later Amador County High School, was included on the Senior Portrait pages, along with another drawing of what is believed to be the original building for Shop Classes. In the drawing of the gym, band and choral classes were held for many decades in the upper room above the entrance lobby in the middle of the building. Later, to the left and out of this picture is where the World War II Memorial Swimming Pool was built, designed for swimming competitions and summer fun.

To date, we have no photographs of the old gym, that burned to the ground in the Sutter Creek area fire of the Summer of '62.
