This invitation was addressed to Miss Louisa Sterry believed to be the daughter of Norman S. Sterry famed California lawyer. Frederica De Laguna Frederica b. around 1874 was an American educator. Born in Oakland California c. 1874; Stanford AB 1896 Columbia AM 1904. With Jessica Smith Vance founded Westlake School for Girls in Los Angeles 1904 and Westlake Junior College 1924 later known as Holmby College. Founded by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna as a small college preparatory school in 1904 it was initially located opposite of Westlake Park. In 1917 the school moved to Westmoreland Avenue in the Wilshire district and then to the location at 700 N. Faring Road.; Originally constructed in 1928 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style the dormitory and complete campus were designed by Arthur Kelly and his associate Joe Estep. The design included exterior stucco walls tiled roofs and arches as decorative motifs towers corbel tables and wrought-iron balconies. The demolition of much of the campus followed the 1971 Sylmar earthquake. The Westlake School for Girls was established in 1904 by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna in what is now downtown Los Angeles California as an exclusively female institution offering both elementary and secondary education. It was so-named because it was near Westlake Park now known as MacArthur Park. At the time the school was a for-profit alternative to the already-established Marlborough School which had been established as a non-profit before the turn of the century. It moved to its present-day campus located on North Faring Road in Holmby Hills California in 1927. The school was purchased by Sydney Temple whose daughter Helen Temple Dickinson was headmistress until 1966 when Westlake became a non-profit institution. Shirley Temple the child star attended the school as did many who became notables in acting athletics and other endeavors Astronaut Sally Ride was an alumnae. The Temple family owned the school until 1977 with Dickinson serving in an ex officio capacity. In 1968 Westlake became exclusively a secondary school. The Harvard School for Boys was established in 1900 by Grenville C. Emery as a military academy on the site of a barley field located at the corner of Western Avenue and Sixteenth Street now Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles California. Emery was originally from Boston and around 1900 he wrote to Harvard University to ask permission to use the Harvard name for his new secondary school and received permission from the university's then-President Charles W. Eliot. As both schools continued to grow in size towards the late 1980s and as gender exclusivity became less of a factor both in the schools' reputations and desirability the trustees of both Harvard and Westlake effectuated a merger in 1989. The two institutions had long been de facto sister schools and interacted socially. Complete integration and coeducation began in 1991. Westlake School for Girls unknown
