The Light of the Desert School
on the Madrid Ranch near Redford

Picture
In this photo standing at the far right side in a dark dress is Celestina Rodríguez Peña, the teacher.  Click here to read a compelling Recuerdo about her.

The Molinar School
Picture
Molinar School taken possibly in early 1930s perhaps 1932
This was a ranch school on the property of Alberto Molinar.  The school probably was located on the Molinar land shown in the following record Franco-Molinar land purchases

The Little Red School House
This was the school house in Terlingua (Chisos) before the Perry School was built to replace it in 1930.
Picture
There seem to be around 40 people in the photo.

The Perry School
Perry School built in 1930 -- replaced the Little Red School House

The Study Butte/Campo Nuevo School
Picture
Three of Dolores and Luisa García's children appear in the photo: Altagracia (b. 1907), Natividad (b. 1908) and Gregorio "Gollo" (b. 1910).  Altagracia and Gollo scratched their faces off the photo.  Natividad is the mother of Louisa Franco Madrid who contributed this photo.  This photo may be about 10 years before Miguel was bringing his children to this school, the Study Butte School. Read about Miguel's 1930 car.

Picture
