IN! . 'X . , 1' , ' v 'fy V- f-.-.--.- gf-.. .w . , ., . 'i . , . X X X T THE HISTORY OF Oak Clif High School The happy years go by, Each like a crystal string Upon the thread of time, Or like a song we sing. We gaze in each clear gem And see the names of those Who have won fame and joy Along the lines they chose. As a small acom grows Into an oak tree great Our school has also grown lnto its high estate. N 1901, Oak Cliff High School, which provided for both elementary and high school students, originated in the old Central School Building on Tenth Street. The faculty was composed of eleven members with Mr. F. F.. Peters as principal. In IQO3, Mr. W. H. Adamson became the principal. The number of students increased from four hundred in I9I3 to twelve hundred in IQI6. At this time the present Oak Cliff High School Building was occupied. In 1924, twenty-four hundred students attended Oak Cliff, but since Sunset High School has been erected, the number has decreased to twelve hundred. There were sixty teachers in I924g there are now fifty- one. There are many personal awards presented to students. Mr. Joe Thompson, a former student of Oak Cliff, and Mr. Owen Barnes present pins to the mem- bers of the National Honor Society. Mr. Martin Weiss and Messers. Tabor present awards to the student making the highest average for four years. Mr. Jno. E. Morriss presents attendance awards. The P.-T. A. offers scholarships for five or more stu- dents, as well as donating hundreds of dollars every year for school activities. Not only has Oak Cliff been the recipient of many personal gifts, but she has also won and maintained a worthy reputation in athletics and scholarship as is shown by the fact that she has acquired over sixty trophies since 1916. Mr. John F outs, who is now superintendent of athletics for the Dallas High Schools, was the first coach. While the citizenship of Oak Cliff and the P.-T. A. have meant much to the progress of the school, perhaps the most important factor has been the harmony and co-operation found in the school itself, in the principal, the faculty and the student body. From this unity has developed the well known Oak Cliff Spiritf, Material evidence of this is manifested in the fact that the school has been able to purchase The Roundup, painted by Frank Reaugh. The numerous pieces of statuary, the trophy case, the beautiful velvet stage and window curtains in the auditorium, all bespeak the loyalty of the former classes. May Oak Cliff ever grow and prosper, and may the Oak Cliff Spirit never die.
