Junior High

When I finished the 6th grade at Edwards Elementary in 1959, I went to James Bowie Junior High School for the 7th, 8th and 9th. Bowie was a newer school on Cleveland Street – the same street that ran beside Chester Slay’s house. There were two other elementary schools who fed Bowie so I met some new classmates and made some new friends.

The sign says French Elementary, but it was Bowie Junior High when I went there. The multicolored windows to the right of the entrance were library windows.
