CLINTON P. RUSSELL HIC passing of our friend, Mr. Clinton P. Russell, was felt more poignantly by North Dallas than by any other school in the city, as he was vitally connected with the very founding of our school. For ten years Mr. Russell was president of the Board of Education, and it was he who conceived the idea of North Dallas High School. Before our school was constructed he took many trips at his own expense to various cities in the United States seeking plans for a high school build- ing for Dallas. Almost everyone who has seen our school remarks on its beautiful front. The imposing archway is of Mr. Russell's own design. He personally supervised the construction of our school. Every day for two years he visited the scene of building, looking after the minute details. Not only did he consider the material conveniences of our education, but he also considered our esthetic needs. Mr. Russell selected the shrubbery and planned its arrangement on the school grounds. He was a world traveler, and he shared with the pupils the cultural benefits of these trips. Not infrequently he stopped his work to come to North Dallas to lecture for some class or at assembly and to illustrate with pictures, curios, and souvenirs collected on his tours. Mr. Russell gave his entire life to service. North Dallas High School will always stand' as a monument to his untiring efforts and unselfish service. -LUCY LEICH LANEY. .
