Photographer's
Note:
Thumbing through my photos, I came across this one of Bonnie Parker's
school. The school, once known as "Eagle Ford District 49", is on
private property just east of the boundary between Grand
Prairie and Dallas.
From what I read on the Internet, the fellow who owns it found Bonnie
Parker's (and other's) report cards in the basement. I took the photo
not knowing the significance of the building. I just thought it was
an eye-catching old relic out here in the country. Only after I got
home and looked it up on the Internet did I read about the Bonnie
Parker connection. One intriguing feature of the design is that the
boys and girls are given separate entrances. The boys entered the
building at the north end (to the right in the pic) and the girls
entered at the south end. Maybe I'm pushing my powers of perspicacity,
but my guess is that the girls were given the courtesy of entering
the building from the south end to avoid chilly north winds. - William
