.--, HISTORY OF CAMP HOOD SCHOOL The Camp Hood boys and girls attended the Killeen school prior to Sep- tember, 1946. Because of crowded conditions in the Killeen school, it was decided by the school officials and Major Barrows, the school officer, to move the pupils in the first eight grades who lived in Hood Village and on the Post to Building 919 in Camp Hood. The school year 1946-'47 was under the Killeen system with the following teachers finishing the year: Mr. R. E. L. Jones,Principal,Mrs. Young,Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. House, Miss Bostert, Mrs. Soule, Mrs. Walters, Miss Caldwell, Mrs. Frost, Mr. Stone, Mrs. Duncan, and Mrs. Thompson. In June, 1947, the State Board of Education approved the request that Camp Hood School be made an Independent School District. By a state law three civilians were appointed trustees and Mr. R. E. L. Jones was elected superintendent. The school officer,with the approval of the Post Comman- der, appointed an advisory board of military personnel to work with the board of trustees on school policies. In 1947-'48 an expansion program in building was accomplished by the Post Engineers under the supervision of Lt. Col. B. E. Meadows. Twelve class rooms, an auditorium, cafeteria, Home Making Department,and wood working shop were completed. Another grade was added and the following teachers were employed: Mr. R. E. L.
