There was a store across the road from the school.<br />The school had grades from 1-12 grades 5 & 6 were in the same room. In 1949 the school close and the students were bused to Dora. I was in grade 6 at the time. My parent move to Oregon in 1949 so I have no knowledge of what happened after 1949.<br />hwallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797546319376780648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921005.post-82240740885739486002016-03-06T12:03:22.261-06:002016-03-06T12:03:22.261-06:00Glad you like City of Dust, Anonymous!

I'll try to make a swing past next time I'm near Portales. My understanding is that <a href="http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nm/arch.html" rel="nofollow">nothing remains</a> of the original community, which was 2 miles east of where Arch is currently. Do you know if that's true?

The school house was eventually moved to Dora and is still there as far as I know. It is located behind the gym near the softball field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
