Dedicated in Sincere Appreciation to Mr. R. C. Aldridge, Sr. Mr. R. C. Aldridge, Sr. has long been a figure of prominence in the Southwest San Antonio area. He excelled as one of the local businessmen, and even before Southwest was brought into being, he had served on the Board of Trustees of the Von Ormy Common School District for a number of years. With his background as a competent and able administrator, he continued in his work for a better school system. He was one of the proponents for the consolidation of the existing school districts, Von Ormy, Macdona, Idlewild, Medina, and Tinsely in 1950, which resulted in the system we know today as Southwest Independent School District. Mr. Aldridge served as President of the Board of Trustees in the formative-years between 1952 and 1956. He did not run for the office after 1956. His talents, though still active in the district: were turned toward his career, and he was elected President of the Texas Association of Nurserymen in 1956-57. He was also given the Arp Award in 19 59, the highest honor given by the nursery industries, for his superior contributions to the industry. Though illness impaired his health after 1960, he was still an integral and indispensable member of the district. His death on February 7, 1973 marked the end of twenty-three years of outstanding service to Southwest Indepen- dent School District. He will always be remembered with loving admiration by the administration, faculty and stu- dents of Southwest. The Annual Staff was especially indebted to Mr. Aldridge for his support and interest in their activities through the years. Bach year he was presented with the Brat annual off the press as an expression of appreciation to a man who always gave freely of himself and offered encouragement and assistance to so many.
