I've collected many pictures of Sugar Land Elementary School children. The following picture shows a portion of Dulles High School's Class of 1960 when they were in the 1st grade in 1948. I recognize several of them.
You see them standing in front of a class room on the west side of the 1st circle. Everyone called the semi-circles of class rooms 'circles' even though they weren't actually circles.
The next photo shows the east side of the 1st circle across from the room where the 1st picture was taken.

1st Circle in 1960 |
Carroll Smith Rome taught me the 2nd grade in the room behind the left side of swing set in the distance.
The following picture is a long shot of the west side of the circle where the Class of '60 is standing in the 1st picture. The auditorium is on the right. You get a good view of the covered walkway that linked the school rooms. It looks like Mr. Wanjura missed a few spots with his lawn mower.

This last photo shows the 2nd circle sometime before 1952. The gym, which still stands on Lakeview Elementary's campus, is in the center. In 1953 SLISD added 4 class rooms to the left side of this circle. Those class rooms still stand. A band hall and new complex were added on the right side of this circle. Those buildings still stand, too. This is not a particularly good picture, but it shows the complete circle of class rooms under a dramatically cloudy sky.
