I don't believe we have talked about Morris School for boys. It was a Catholic school for boys who were boarded there. It was located on Morris School Road and had nice buildings and lots of land. It was probably about 6 miles from town.
The thing that I remember the most about it was the presence of the boys on Saturday afternoon in downtown Searcy. They were almost like an original "gang." My kids would see the boys and immediately recognize them as being from the school. Young girls, my daughter included, looked them over very carefully and may have formed a distant crush on some of them.
There have been some post cards on ebay and I've got a few here to show you. First the campus.
The infirmary

And that was the library. I hope the Sleuths will remember more about this school. These pictures look really old so it may have existed for a long time. And the boys do look pretty handsome, don't they?
