Hi, Robert. I just got my copy of "North Central Oklahoma: Rooted in the Past" out of storage (stored by accident, obviously), and found some info on the above. There is a picture of "The Kildare School" taken in 1910 (no other info) which was contributed by the Newkirk Museum. No other schools are listed specifically for Kildare. You might want to check with the museum to see if they have anything further. The Business College has had several names. It was originally named (1902) University Preparatory School, which was changed by the legislature to the University Preparatory School and Oklahoma State Business Acadamy after WWI. In 1921, two years of standard college work was added and it became the University Preparatory and Junior Vocational College. In 1941, it was renamed Northern Oklahoma Junior College. I believe it is located in Tonkawa (sorry, I'm not a resident). It was founded there and nothing in the article indicates that it moved.
