IN the days of the Old West, if citizens of
a new town wanted a school they got
together and built one, then wrote East for
a teacher, levied taxes to cover expenses,
and were in business.
The situation wasn't quite the same when
actor Robert Ryan saw his older boy ap
proach school age but in a way the prob
lem wasn't so different, either.
As Bob puts it: "Some years ago, my wife
Jessica and I were terribly upset about our
schools. Thanks to the postwar crop of
babies and the shortage of teachers and
buildings, particularly in the rapidly grow- .
ing San Fernando Valley area where we
then lived, the elementary-school situation
was deplorable: split shifts, up to 60 chil
dren in each class. I had the feeling no child
had a chance to learn much."
The Ryans scouted all the private schools
in the vicinity as well. What they found
was not encouraging. The more expensive
schools were too snobbish for their tastes,
most of the others were either as over
crowded as public schools, scholastic-ally
worse off, or both.
"What are we going to do?" Jessica asked
desperately.
"There's only one thing we can do," Bob
replied. "Move."
. "I have a better idea," said Jessica after
thinking about it a few minutes. "We'll
start our own school."
Bob laughed off the idea, convinced he'd
hear no more about it. But he had under
estimated his wife. On her own, she talked
to their neighbors about the idea, and
enough of them showed an interest to call
a meeting.
"When I saw all those eager faces," Bob
recalls, "I thought we had our problem
licked. I was wrong. It took three night
marish years to get over the hurdles. Once
we were on the verge of closing the school.
Family Weekly. August 7, 1960
Star Robert Ryan sparked drive for new school.
It's something of a miracle we survived."
What he modestly failed to say was that
for three years he devoted so much time
to the project that he had to forego two
pictures for every one he was able to make!
The first school meeting was a pretty fair
indication of things to come. Out of 50
couples, only two besides the Ryans were
willing to go along with the idea: Sidney
Harmon and his wife (he produced Bob's
"God's Little Acre" and "Day of the Out
law") and the Ross Cabeens. Cabeen is one
of the West's foremost geologists.
Their biggest problems, says Bob, who
succeeded his wife as president of the
school, were money, personnel, site, hyster
ical parents, and maladjusted children.
"We've solved them all but one," he grins.
"Money. We're still in the red and liable to
stay there for a while."
This problem was particularly acute be-
