I came across the following photographs<\/a> of Mexican children celebrating Halloween at Guadalupe School years ago. What caught my attention was the Works Progress Administration<\/a> (WPA)<\/strong><\/em> stamp on them. During the 1930s, the WPA had funded many different types of projects in Oxnard, which included the Guadalupe School playground at Meta Street and Seventh Street. The playground was under the supervision of Robert Hinostro<\/strong><\/em>, who became the first Mexican American police officer in the Oxnard Police Department.<\/p>\n
