On this rainy day, it seems to be an appropriate topic. What is known today as Arnold Field at Lassen High School was originally a agricultural field, prone to flooding from the adjacent Susan River. After the spring floods of 1938, it was decided to construct a levee along the river to prevent future flooding. Once this was accomplished, the high school made more improvements including a new athletic field. In 1939, it was dedicated Arnold Field, a tribute to Med Arnold. Med was not just a member of the first graduating class of 1907, but was a coach for the school’s sports teams for many years.
