“LARGE CROWD SEES EXCITING MAT PROGRAM…. In colored matches between McKinney and Farmersville colored boys, Preston Lyons of McKinney won by a knockout in the first round and L. C. Nelson outpointed his husky opponent to win the decision.”
The County Superintendent of Schools said this about the Farmersville Colored School in 1918:
“The Farmersville Colored School is taught by J. T. Dagler. They have enrolled 51 and have good attendance. Their house is not up to what it should be. It is poorly equipped. The work is commendable, but can be made much better by furnishing the proper equipment for doing work.”
In 1935 the Collin County school board classified the Farmersville colored school according to the state program. The school had nine grades with two teachers, the term to run a full nine months. The local-colored school, under Principal L. J. Stanford, and his assistant, Mary E. Murphy was doing splendid work and making creditable progress. There are 78 scholastics in this district, and the school now had an enrollment of 48. The principal in 1939 was Prof. L. J. Sanford.
