More People Of Old Sugar Land


The following series of photos were taken in the 1967/68 school year.  They show Dulles High School's Junior Achievement group at the old Imperial Refinery's Machine Shop (I think) Dulles High School Shop, as they fabricated the product they eventually sold.  I'm certain I can find out more about this, including a good description of the product.

The following series of photos show Sugar Land residents receiving Albert Sabin's oral polio vaccine in the early 1960s.  I recall this initiative, but I'm a little vague on details.  I believe it was free to the public.  They had various sites open on various dates.  I recall my family went to Alief on a Sunday afternoon to pop our sugar cubes.  That's the significance of the photos of the Imperial station wagon.  Imperial must have donated the sugar cubes which were doused with the vaccine.  As Mary Poppins says, "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down ..."

Mary Little is sitting at the registration table.

That's the Roland Rodriguez family lining up for their sugar cubes.





Dorothy Gandy is in the left background.

That looks like Bob Sheppard doing a 'bottoms up.'

  1. In photo #9, Wayne Mayhood is the "boy at the grinder" with the goggles, print shirt, and cuffed sleeves. He is also the boy on the far right in photo # 5. These photos are actually taken at the Dulles High School shop building which still stands today at the Dulles Avenue campus. Thanks for sharing the photos!

    1. That does look like the Dulles High shop. However, since the last renovation it looks different now.
