I thought that's why some families sent their kids to a Military Academy, because they
were problem children and not happy or normal...?
Mmmm...excellent food at a military academy!

The Clark Gable photo could be at Ridgewood, but finding any photos of that place isn't particularly welcoming, heh!
The closest I came is because it happened to be in a shot of a GemCo store.
Valley Relics Museum
Full caption:
(1960's ) – View looking east on Ventura Boulevard showing GEMCO at 20801 Ventura Boulevard with ‘Chalk Hill’ in the distance. Just
up that hill were the restaurants Victoria Station and Charlie Brown. Across the street on the right is the Ridgewood Military Academy.
In the original information would "an invitation from a friend to see the motorcycle hill climbs" perhaps be at "Chalk Hill?"
Is that the outline of "Chalk Hill" in the background of the Gable photo? (Below.) Sure looks like it to me.
