Walton School, named for the first principal of Langston, was Denison's third Negro public school.  Located at W. Day and Perry, its six grades were reduced to four when Terrell was built.  Mrs. G.A. Gormany was the first principal.  The school, sold after integration, is now a private day nursery.

Editor's Note: Still standing at the corner of Day Street and Perry Avenue, the building ceased to house Walton School when the DISD closed it in the mid-1960s and integrated the school system.
