Early Schools In Wichita Falls

Here is a collage of the early Wichita Falls city schools. One of them is the San Jacinto elementary school. I went there from the 2^nd through 6^th grades: twice in the 2^nd thanks to Margaret Hollingsworth, a second cousin. Margaret bent over backwards to prove she wasn’t partial to a relative and failed me (sigh). But I loved her anyway. I also loved San Jacinto. After all, I spent from 1947 to 1953 there. I spent the 7^th grade at Carrigan 53/54, then Reagan Jr. High in the 8^th and 9^th grades 54/56. That’s at the time my dad tired of cooking and went back to ranch work as a cowboy. We moved to a ranch at Kadane Corners for my tenth grade in Valley View High School. From there we moved back to Seymour for the rest of my high school. Then the Army came calling. The above picture is a collage of the early Wichita Falls schools. San Jacinto is one of them. By left clicking on the picture you will see a larger version. As long as I was there, I cannot identify it. Perhaps one of you will remember which one it is. I believe Carrigan may be included. If anyone can point the individual schools out, please contact me at fadingshadows40@gmail.com, or leave a comment on the Blog.
