1940's Nogales School House in Common School District

A recent inquiry worthy of quick research using digitized library database newspaper resources helped unravel a few clues about this school very few can recall.
 1935 0524
 1938 1121  The caption under this photo tells us that Nogales School was opened in 1907.
 1940 0624   Most news items center around the schools rating status
 1942 0304  Here we are given a listing of other rural schools
 1942 0307
1942 0307  Some names of students can be found in this clipping of students competing in contests between rural schools
Nogales progress report for Pedro Barrera sent by Ivez Barrera

Here is the location where Veterans International Bridge at Los Tomates was built on land where the school was probably located.

Unfortunately I had downloaded additional digital news-clip items but lost them (maybe saved to library hard drive by mistake) but recall that the earliest references to school were found as early as 1922 and that land was sold in 1972-74.
