<\/a><\/p>\nAnn Dvorak may have started her Los Angeles education at the Elliott School,<\/a> but she ultimately ended up at the Page School For Girls in the Highland Park neighborhood. This is from where she graduated around 1927 or 1928. After Ann became a known actress, she visited her alma mater on at least one occasion.<\/p>\n 1920 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n Like the Elliot School, Page was a converted Victorian home that served as a boarding school. \u00c2\u00a0The school, who advertised it would prepare its students for “useful womanhood” was started by sisters Emma & Della Page. Della later broke off to start the companion Page Military Academy which served the young male population. There are still Page private schools<\/a> in existence which are offshoots of the military academy and operated by the descendants of Della Page. Unfortunately, they do not have any records from the girls school.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have never been able to find a photo of the Page School, which drives me nuts. The above photo, taken by one-time Disney engineer Herman Schultheis<\/a> is especially maddening. While taking this shot, he was standing at the lower lefthand corner of the above map. Had he just turned around he could have gotten some photos of the school! This image is in the photo archive I oversee, so Herman definitely did not turn his camera behind him.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
