Looking Back

January 1958: NEW COUNCIL – Members of the newly-appointed Youth Development Council of Fort Stockton check over plans. From left are Fred Lynch, chairman Lee Hunter and George Pina. Named by district judge Jim Langdon, they will act as officers of the court in supervising probation of juveniles who have been adjudged delinquent.

January 1958: NEW SCHOOL – Alamo Elementary School was scheduled to be accepted by the Fort Stockton School Board Thursday and classes are to be held in the new 18-classroom building Jan. 6, 1958, when classes resume after the Christmas vacation. This view shows the band-assembly room at left and parts of two of the three classroom wings, at right.

January 1958: CHAMPIONS – Jimmy Dulaney, left, shows his champion rambouillet ram and Billy Lannom exhibits his prize rambouillet ewe. Both Fort Stockton FFA chapter members won grand prizes in the men’s open division of the Iraan stock show and are preparing to compete in El Paso.

January 1958: ROCKETRY TALK – Four of the youthful Fort Stockton rocket enthusiasts compare notes on missile design and fuel use. From left are Bryant Wilson, 17; Richard Harral, 17; Jackie Simpson, 15, and Phil Duncan, 15. The quartet has set off several small rockets successfully and hopes to graduate to larger, more complex ones in the future.

January 1958: WHAT’S THIS? – This picture shows postal employee Bill Williams sorting mail during the recent Christmas rush at the office in Fort Stockton. For reasons unknown, the thing reversed itself in developing, making the negative a positive and the final print a negative, as shown here. We don’t know how that happened either. Photos are from the Fort Stockton Pioneer archives at the Pioneer’s office located at 210 N. Nelson St.
