Do you know E. Barnes Coles? Did you know W.B Ray High School won the Texas State Football Championship in 1959 and the next year, Roy Miller High, won the 1960 championship? Did you know the Galvan Ballroom once hosted some of the most famous musicians of the 40's and 50s? There is so much more history to discover in the local history room at the La Retama library. My first hours of Spring Break was spent mentoring my students over topics like the history of the "B" bus and mass transit in Corpus, the development of Mustang Island, the histories of Wynn Seale Jr. High and Solomon Coles High School, and much more.
My upcoming blogs will focus on Corpus Christi history. I will be sharing the information my students are discovering as well as my own observations about local history.
Have a safe Spring Break.
