Qfialafzq The W. H. Adamson High School has long been an Oak Cliff landmark and tradition, dating back to the 1880's when it was known as Oak Cliff High and was located first at Eighth Street and Lancaster Avenue and then at Tenth and Patton Streets. William Hardin Adamson, after serving as superintendent of the Oak Cliff Schools and taking an active part in all West-of-the-Trinity activities, became principal of the school situated at Tenth and Patton Streets, and even yet there is evidence in the school of the spirit of honesty, forth- rightness, and determination that the much-beloved and respected Mr. Adamson instilled in all his associates. The present building was completed in 1915, but it had only classrooms. Through the years other parts were added 'and the school finally reached its present encompassment. The campus of Adamson was enlarged, finally incorporating the lots at the corner of Eighth and Crawford Streets, the home of the artist Frank Reaugh, who eventually, all the property around him being occupied by the school campus, vacated his premises. In 1914, the first football team was organized and the school began battling its chief rival of the time, North Side of Ft. Worth. The year 1920 was a great one for Adamson High School because that year, under the auspices of Coach Howard Allen, the football team, after winning two uproarious games against Sherman, went to state finals and finally carried off the state championship. In 1923 and 1924 Adamson again came out a winner, taking the state baseball and basketball championships. In other years our school has won state championships in debate and in declamation. To the deep regret and sorrow of all, in 1935 the venerable Mr. Adamson went to his reward and was succeeded as principalof our school by Mr. Howard A. Allen, who has since that time retained this position. ' The history and traditions of Adamson merit our pride and we students take pleasure in our efforts to uphold the distinction of our school.
