Notes	Title supplied by cataloger.; Herman J. Schultheis was born in Aachen, Germany in 1900, and immigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s after obtaining a Ph.D. in mechanical and electrical engineering. He married Ethel Wisloh in 1936, and the pair moved to Los Angeles the following year. He worked in the film industry from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, most notably on the animated features Fantasia and Pinocchio. His detailed notebook, documenting the special effects for Fantasia, is the subject of a 14-minute short-subject included on the film's DVD. In 1949, he started employment with Librascope as a patent engineer. Schultheis was an avid amateur photographer who traveled the world with his cameras. It was on one of these photographic exhibitions in 1955 that he disappeared in the jungles of Guatemala. His remains were discovered 18 months later. The digitized portion of this collection represents the images Schultheis took of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities after he relocated to the area in 1937.
Historical Data	Hollywood High School was established at 1521 North Highland Avenue in 1904. The original Administration/Classroom Building was completed in 1905, and the first major campus expansion concluded in 1913. Following the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, all of the buildings with the exception of the Library and the Auditorium were demolished. The replacement structures were designed with funding from New Deal-era relief programs. In 2012 five of the buildings on campus (in the PWA Moderne style by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell unless noted) were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as signifcant to the Hollywood High School Historic District: the 1910 Beaux Arts style Library/Auditorium modified in 1935; the 1924 Beaux Arts style Auditorium modified in 1956 to Mid-Century Modern by the architectural firm of Marston & Weston; the 1935 Science Building (Domestic Science and Art Building); the 1938 Liberal Arts Building (Liberal and Household Arts) by Herbert Powell with Marsh, Smith; and Powell and the 1938 Arts Building.
