North Dallas In 1944 the gymnasium rocked to such tunes as Begin the Beguinef' This was the year that the well-known Sheats-to-Dickerson combination was selected for the all- city football team, and Mr. Comstock at one of the games became so excited that he broke his glasses. ln that year, also, North Dallas was chosen by Look Magazine for a pictorial story on typical school life. ln February North Dallas held her famous Service Recognition Program in honor of North Dallas students in the armed forces. When students returned to enroll in North Dallas for the fall term of l945, after a summer which saw the War's end, they found something North Dallas had never before known, a new principal. Mr. Comstock, Mr, North Dal- las, had been promoted, and to fill his place came Mr. W. O. Pipes. All-city lack Carpenter and Bill Hunter led the Bulldogs through one of the most successful football seasons the school had had in years, the schedule ending in a tie with Sunset for second place. ln April of 1946 the school was visited by an evaluation committee, and received a superior rating. The rifle team won the city match, and the shoulder-to-shoulder contest, Bill Stewart firing the highest score ever fired in the history of a Dallas R.O.T.C. unit. The stellar athletic event of the year was the track meet in which Cleburne Price became the high-point man in the state. Although Price was the only participant from North Dallas, his twenty-three points placed the school fourth in the meet. A successful season in every field, the largest gradu- ating class it has ever had, and an impressive anniver- sary celebration marked the school's silver-jubilee year of 1947. Since that opening day of l922, North Dallas has made a name for itself, and has fulfilled its obligation to the individual student and to the community as a whole. North Dallas may well look back with pride on twenty-five years of activity and service. l f, rr- 7. '- ff t ,- W t'fSRE'7f' ,I ll . ., fl, 1 .ye l l 9 923 Li, 1. ,.

In 1936 for the fifth con- secutive year North Dallas debate teams won the city championship. In 1938, and again in 1941, the boys' debate teams Won the state championship. Out of the six cups offered in the Latin tournament, our students were taking from two to four in every contest. ln the fall came the climax to this winning spree when North Dallas fielded probably the greatest football eleven ever to wear the Orange and White. The '36 team, under coaches Anderson and Hyde, brought back to North Dallas the only city football championship that it has ever attained, winning seven out of eight season games. ln 1939 even bathing beauties came in for their share of the glory when Miss Eleanora Currin had bestowed upon her the title of Miss North Dallas in a contest held at the swimming pool. Miss Currin had also the honor of being the first student to enroll whose parents were both graduates of North Dallas. lt was during this time that O. S. Castlen, who had opened the Cole and Haskell Drug Store in 1932, estab- lished the annual trophy for the most valuable football player, and was made an honorary member of the faculty. F or over fifteen years he has had a smile for every Bulldog and has given strong support to North Dallas. For winning the most points in lnterscholastic League events, North Dallas was awarded the Kiwanis Trophy in 1940, when it was first presented, and again in '4l. lt was in 1940 that the numerical grading system was replaced by the letter system and the twelfth grade added. 1942 marked the beginning of World War ll, and North Dallas students and teachers alike worked to do their part for their country.
