w. ' o e 4 3 .L p . epwl ' 'annual l i ,l 'i 1 l I Qfl Word from QJVlr. Comstock XVO YEARS AGO the North Dallas High School enrolled seven hundred and thirty pupils. .lust two years after the opening of the school our total enrollment was seventeen hundred and thirty, an increase of one thousand. During these two years we have climbed from fourth rank in size in Dallas to second. YVe have had two graduating classes whose comhined enrollment was one lumdred and forty- four pupils. The present IVA class has more candidates for graduation than the first two classes together. Yvhile we look with pride at our growth in numhers yet the spirit of loyalty and manifestation of high ideals is more pleasing. The students are not perfect. If they were, schools and teachers would he unnecessary. They are merely hoys and girls and the future citizens of our city and nation. Ninety-five percent of them are in ear- nest in their desire for knowledge and improvement. Because of their imperfections mingled with their aspirations and desires they are not only interesting hut they fur- nish a need for the best work that a teacher can perform. VVe feel towards these young people like Longfellow who wrote: How beautiful is youth! How bright it glcmns. Wfith. its illusions, uspiratioizs. dreams! Book of Beginnings, SLo1'y 'without E-nd.

D., will retire in . i .lane from the position of Superintendent of N '5 1 the Dallas Public Schools, after a period of i N ten yearsqof continuous service. These years i have been identical with those that mark the i most rapid growth of the city. Under Dr. Kimball's wise and ablc administration the school system has kept abreast of the times. H lt has kept pace with the rapid strides that I have brought Dallas into the ranks of pro- , gressive cities of the United Statesq he has 5 raised the standard of the schools in everv I K way that marks the development of modern 4 education. , ln maintaining this standard Dr. Kimball la has given pa1'ticular attention to the high schools. Through his influence they have grown in number, in adequacy, in equipment, in scope, and in power. None of these changes have come suddenly nor separately, but the whole systcm has grown systematically 'and harmoniously as a unit. His administration 4 has been one of activity, at the same time one ot peace and good will toward all men. Prosperity has followed. He has clone his i work well. thereby setting an example for every student of the high school. Dr. Kim- ball is a man of ideals and moral courage: a man with a visiong a man who has thc faculty of making dreams come true. The North Dallas High School is fortunate to have been opened during his term of Office. lt will carry through time the cast that his strong' individuality has given to its features. lVe are grateful to have come under his influence. Best wishes for the future fruition of his work wherever his guiding star may lead him. Normmx R. Cnozum. Assistant Superin- i tendent of Dallas Public Schools, has been i elected by the Board of Education to succeed Dr. Kimball, whose resignation takes effect July first. Mr. Crozier is a graduate of the University of Texas. and before coming to Dallas, taught in Palestine, Mexia, and El 1 Paso. . 1 He came to Dallas in 191-li as principal Q of the Bryan High School. ln 1919 he was A made Assistant Superintendent of Dallas Pub- lic Schools. One of the most important dn- i 1 ties in this office has been to help select the i teachers for the Dallas Schools. For thc past A I four years hc has served as conductor of the summer normal at the l'niversity of Texas. A keen sense of humor and a deep lnnnan sympathy have been among the secrets of his great success as a school man. Alwavs cour- l i tcous, never in a hurry, kindly and gentle, he lvnl has cndearcd himself to both students and ' '- teachers. Dallas will be fortunate to have such I a, man at the head of her school system. I l .D ' 1 if l L E h I . - .4 .. .
