James Short

Eanes Elementary alumnus · West Lake Hills resident

Long-time West Lake Hills resident and Eanes Elementary alumnus, interviewed by Dorothy Depwe about growing up in Westlake during the 1940s — the bus pranks, the road bonfires, the egg fights. His recollections appear in two transcripts in the Eanes History Center collection.

James Short was a student at Eanes Elementary in the 1940s, a period he later recounted to Dorothy Depwe in two interviews preserved in the Eanes History Center collection — the bus rides into school, the egg fights, the road bonfires built to stop the morning bus. Birth and death dates are not yet recorded.
