–Members of the Masonic Lodge No. 493 opened a time capsule from 1921 on Friday at Atascadero High School. Inside the capsule there were photographs, newspaper clippings, typewritten notes and a number of old coins.

The capsule was inside a wall of one of the original campus structures at Atascadero High School. Back when members of the Masonic Lodge placed the capsule, the facility was the Margarita Black Union High School.

The area where the capsule was located is slated for demolition next year as part of upgrades on the campus, according to reports, so the school wanted to be sure to preserve the capsule and it’s contents before demolition was underway.
