X e ' ez'z'iZZiazzfr:- ip- ii' THE FGUNDERS i IGHTEEN years ago there came to the City of Dallas a man. This man had an idea. It is said that a man and an idea can never be downed. And so it was with Mr. Terrill. Although he was met with every opposi- - tion imaginable when he said that he was going to found a private ' school for boys there was one person that believed in him. It was because of this person's belief that Mr. Terrill founded our school with the determination to succeed. This person was Mrs. Terrill. Together they fought the battle against great odds, but when they retired they left behind them one of the best schools in our entire country. f O I l 4 li ' fi' ., ,. , Along with the wonderful school that Mr. and Mrs. Terrill left, they left something that will live forever in the hearts of every one of the hundreds of i students whose lives came under their inlluenceg that is, that in them each 4 of the boys had two real friends who loved them.

Our answer is, A man, capable of teaching Latin, coaching a champion bas- ketball team and becoming a boy again in the summer. Terrill School possesses such a man in the person of Mr. S. M. Davis, Pop for short. He teaches Latin with rare ability and despite the difficulty of the subject, his classes are always in- teresting. Pop is recognized as one of the best coaches for basketball in the State. However, Terrill students without hes- itancy acknowledge him to be the best in the United States and he truly de- serves their high estimation.

MATHENEY HISTORY Dear reader, let us now turn our eyes to the history department of Terrill School. We find Mr. Matheney presiding. After attending one or two of his classes, we fmd that these characteristics stand out most prominently. In the 'first place. that Southem accent to his speech lingers in our ears. We are forced to admit that there is a certain charm in Mr. Matheney's quaint, casual manner of speaking. Also, we are certain to have noticed and admired his politeness and self-control. No matter under what strain he may he, Mr. Matheney always remains calm. As another tribute to this man, we must acknowledge that his fairness and sincerity has won for him the respect of his pupils. The history department of the school has been strengthened greatly by Mr. Matheney, especially by the adoption of a Civics course. Fourlrcn X A , . .4-...hi
