Sanger Trophy - by Gary Pina
The Greater North Dallas Alumni Association was present at the
presentation of the Sanger Trophy at the Old Red Museum in downtown
Dallas on Saturday, March 10. The six schools represented included
Crozier Tech, Adamson, Sunset, Woodrow Wilson, Forest Avenue and
North Dallas.
The Sanger Trophy was awarded from 1929 to 1954 to the school
with the most points based on athletic achievement in six sporting
events. The trophy, presented by Sanger Brothers department store,
was lost for a while, then found and restored to its original
condition by Don Martin of Sunset. It was offered as a permanent
display to the Old Red Museum.
North Dallas won the Sanger Trophy only once in 1946-'47.
Pictured below are distinguished alumni guest Rosemary
Rumbley ('49), GNDHSAA president Claude Brewer ('47) and Nancy
Gilmore ('42).

2/17/2007 Lakewood Rats Story - From Jeanette Howeth
Crumpler '49
(if you have one send it to
bulldog@northdallashigh.com). By the time I moved to Dallas in 1948,
the Lakewood Rats were more legend than fact. I only knew
two. One became a Baptist Preacher. The other was a guy that
was so tough looking in 1948 that most people would cross
the street if he was walking down it. Me included. I saw him
about 25 years later here in Lakewood. He was balding, had
on a really bad looking leather jacket that was very worn
and it couldn't even close around his pot belly. His name
was Carl (won't tell the last name), but he got into an
ancient VOLKSWAGON!!! Now that was not cool!!!Funny.
Regards, Jeanette Howeth (1949) Crumpler

Some trivia...(from
http://likedreamsville.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
) - " I think I heard the word "cool" for the
first time when I was about eight years old-roughly
1952-while tuning into "Cat's Caravan", a rhythm 'n' blues
show on WRR radio that came on after the Dallas Eagles
baseball games. The host of the show was the old "coffee-drinkin'
nighthawk," Jim Lowe, the "Cool Fool." Every Night, when
Buddy Morrow shouted "All aboooard for the night train!" I
embarked on a journey into the life I wanted to live" -Lewis MacAdams |

From Bob
McCauley '55 -
2/8/2009 - Bill Driscoll '55 passed away this weekend - very
suddenly. Taffy Krueger '55 reported that he had talked with
Bill this week and Bill seemed to be
in good spirits and health. Bill was a person
with unparalleled devotion to his family, North Dallas High School and the Marine Corp.

From Tommy Grayson
- My name is Tom
Grayson and I'm a graduate of North Dallas High School,
class of 1959.
I want to strongly protest changing the name of North Dallas
High School. I hope that Mr. Price's proposal is just
that, a proposal. I hope you and the other members of
the board will listen to us and have not made up your minds.
The fact that I admired Judge Sanders and do not admire
Commissioner Price has nothing to do with it. North
Dallas is a part of my life and has been for well over 50
years. When something has that much history and
memories, why would anyone even propose a name change?
I didn't go to college. I went straight into the
military. Therefore, North Dallas High School is
everything to me. Please don't change the name.
Put up a plaque or a statue in the School District building
for Judge Sanders. |

He taught at ND from 1950 - 1951; was Assistant Principle
from 1952 - 1955; and then Principle from 1956 - 1957.
Anyone who
remembers him and could e-mail what you remember would be
greatly appreciated. This includes good, bad or
whatever. I want to
write a biography of Mr. Thompson to put in one of the cases
outside the library at ND. Any and all help would be greatly
appreciated. I can be

From Noel Garland
Do anyone know if Mr. Fred Wright, a former teacher at North
Dallas is still alive or where he is? Christian-Charles de
Plicque, a former student is a pastor of a church in
Finland, north of the Arctic Circle, who is suffering from
cancer, and is trying to find some of his former teachers.
Christian was a groundbreaker of sorts, being the first
Black student to attend North Dallas.

Favorite "Mr.
Tardy Story"
From: Becky Searcy
Marshall -
My favorite “Mr. Tardy Story” came right
out of the horse’s mouth: One day in class he told us of a time
when he hung a student (boy)by his heels out Mr. Tardy’s third
floor classroom window! It is also my recollection that Mr.
Tardy was a wrestler before he was a teacher. He could have
been, he was huge! As far as a teacher goes I think he was the
best! Once a student entered the classroom he/she was not
allowed to speak English only Spanish. We studied very little
from a school book. Instead we read “La
Luz”
which was a Spanish newspaper that Mr. Tardy wrote. A student
had better know “La
Luz”
inside and out for Mr. Tardy spent classroom period asking
questions in Spanish that you only knew the answer if you had
read the newspaper. I have traveled in
Mexico
and lived in
Texas
with only my high school Spanish to back me up. Mr. Tardy has
never let me down.

- Current NDHS Student
Hello. I'm currently a Senior at North Dallas. This year we are
working on the Compass for 2007. As my assignment for the newspaper
I have to write about a ghost that supposedly haunts North Dallas
High. Since my freshman year, I've heard stories of a ghost and this
year a student has even taken a picture of such ghost. I was
wondering if perhaps you could post something asking if anyone knows
about such ghost or has any stories of their own about any hauntings at ND. I would really like some info
concerning these ghost stories. Thank you.

| 9/4/04 - From Ken Riley '55 (via Bill Driscoll) - a message
before Frances. Thanks for your concern and your prayers. As I
read the tracking reports, as of 8:00 am, it looks like Ft.
Pierce is the likely target for direct hit. This is
approximately 75 miles from Boca. I live inland 8 miles from the
beach. My whole neighborhood is battened down, we have food and
water supplies and positive attitude. We will probably lose
electricity, the only question is for how long. As I write this,
it is already too late to leave, so we will hunker down, hope
fro the best. I will tell you how we made out after the storm.
Bye for now,Ken |

Drug Store Across Street - The
drugs store (in name only) that was across the street from the school
was the Cole and Haskell Drugs Store It was founded in 1938 (I
think the school was founded in 1935) so they co-existed for many, many
years. The last owners were Paul and Martha Jackson, whom we called Mom
and Pop Jackson. The specialty was a huge burger called the "Thang"
which was actually a double bacon cheese burger. The store had a grill
and a fountain in the front a juke box and three pin ball machines. A
nodding acquaintance was made to the drugstore name by two display case
that had seldom bought over the counter drugs such as aspirin and
antacids and such. I was the soda jerk there during the 1967-1968 school
years. And remember fondly the cookouts Pop and Mom Jackson use to have
for us at their South Oak Cliff house. Also if those booths could have
talked!!!! Some of the thing I found that fell behind the booths when I
cleaned up at the end of the day - Well - maybe I have said enough! A
group of us painted the school after it was tagged by Jefferson High and
our effort even made the paper. If anyone kept a copy please E-mail me.

NDHS Coke Machine
-
I don't know if anyone can help me, but here goes. In
2000, I bought a 1960's coke machine (the type that you pull
bottles through the skinny door). The machine
originally came from North Dallas high school. It was
bought at public auction in 1985 by a man named Will Craven
who kept it in his wood shop (in Will's Point Texas) until
he sold it to me (on Ebay). I live in Massachusetts,
so the machine has traveled quite a distance from it's
original home. I would like to know if any alumni have
any recollection of this machine. It has several
initials carved on the top & side which I think adds
character & history to the machine. I also wondered if
it appeared in any old yearbook photos ( in the background
of course). Any information you could provide would be
greatly appreciated.-
From Patrick McGuire
MCG243@aol.com
p.s. the machine still works great. |

LOST 1983 CLASS RING - From
Don Bearden who works for the City of Dallas - Several years ago
while working at DFW International Airport, I found a ladies North
Dallas High School class ring with the year 1983, and the name Joyce
on the outside and the initials JAH on the inside of the band.
I called the school a couple of times and was told I would have to
go to the school and maybe someone would be able to help me.
For some reason, I just never found time to do so. Today I was
on the internet and found this website and thought that I would try
this method to locate the ring owner. I would love to be able
to return this ring to the rightful owner or to her family if
possible and wondered if you knew anything about this person. If you
do, or know someone that might, please have them email me or they
can call me at 214-670-3167 which is my work number. My cell
phone number is 214-507-1535. Thanks. Don Bearden

further the history of North Dallas High School, giving his one day off
each week to work on saving North Dallas' History. He can be reached at
the following numbers, and email address. Home: 214-361-9228 Bus:

From
Noel Garland - Two things Mr. Cerda needs are another display case,
and the whereabouts of the old boys locker room, by the old gym. I
would suppose the girls had a locker room next door to the boys, but
I'm not sure about that.

| From Kelly
Parks - Went to the first game last night and watched the
Bulldogs beat Houston North Shores 27 to 22. Looks like they
will have a good running game, but a little week on pass
defense. You could tell it was their first game with 10
penalties for 100 yards. All in all it was exciting game and
a come from behind win for the Bulldogs. I met the baseball
coach and he really made me feel welcome as an alum. He said
that he hopes that group would attend some of the games this
year and promises us a wining season this year. |
