The building is silent under the late afternoon sun. A lone figure is walking slowly down the now-shadowy halls, arms laden with notebooks, papers, and assorted tablets. In the background, the five o’clock bell whirrs feebly, symbolic of the exhaustion faced at the end of a long school day. As the echo of the bell fades away, the figure reaches the door and pauses to take a quick inventory of the armload, then slowly turns and leaves the building. This tableau is re-enacted thousands of times a year by scores of Wilson teachers, for theirs is truly a life revolving around bells and books. 13

3700 Ross Avenue Js 3anti liar Address for Dallas Zeachers Located in the heart of Dallas, stands an $895,000 edifice which is the headquarters for the Dallas Independent School District. Within this modern structure the education of thousands of children and young adults is proposed, planned, and executed. From this building one of the most important administrative staffs in Dallas operates—namely the Administration of the Dallas School System. At the head of this group is Dr. Warren Travis White, Superintendent of Schools, a man especially endowed with the qualities of leadership necessary to cope with the ever-changing, always-present problems involved with managing a school system efficiently and sensibly. Although all employees in the administration building could be correctly called the superintendent’s staff, Dr. White has a top echelon group of five assistant superintendents, and one personal assistant. Since the Coordinator of Secondary Education works closely with the Wood-row Wilson faculty, he is considered as part of the administrative staff for Woodrow Wilson. These eight men under the leadership of Dr. White, have, through their tireless efforts and diligence, attained their goal—to provide Dallas with the highest possible quality of education. 14
