On May 30, 2016 at 11:00 at the front of the school, we had a Dedication Ceremony for the installation of the Vietnam Memorial Plaque, honoring those Bulldogs KIA in the Vietnam War. The plaque has been made and paid for by the Alumni Association through contributions made by family and friends both Bulldogs and not. This has been Danny Linn s project, but the AA helped get the funds. NEWS - Do you subscribe to the Bulldog News?

To see their video interviews click on the photos below: I'm a ND graduate of 1951. On the ND.com page I read that a student from a NDHS class was assigned to write for the Compass a story on the Haunted North Dallas High. I would enjoy reading her story. If you have any information on it, or can put me in touch with someone who might, I and others of the older generation would greatly appreciate it. In my years at ND, there was nothing about it being haunted. Perhaps it originated with the death of a student in theswimming pool which waslater filled with cement. One year an elective of mine was swimming rather than gym. I earned a Life Saver certification. Was it ever a humid and sweaty area to be if you weren't decked out in a bathing suit. Beautiful and happy daysremembered at North Dallas. Still maintain ND friendships.

The Greater North Dallas Alumni Association was present at the presentation of the Sanger Trophy at the Old Red Museum in downtown Dallas on Saturday, March 10. The six schools represented included Crozier Tech, Adamson, Sunset, Woodrow Wilson, Forest Avenue and North Dallas. The Sanger Trophy was awarded from 1929 to 1954 to the school with the most points based on athletic achievement in six sporting events. The trophy, presented by Sanger Brothers department store, was lost for a while, then found and restored to its original condition by Don Martin of Sunset. It was offered as a permanent display to the Old Red Museum. North Dallas won the Sanger Trophy only once in 1946-'47.

By the time I moved to Dallas in 1948, the Lakewood Rats were more legend than fact. I only knew two. One became a Baptist Preacher. The other was a guy that was so tough looking in 1948 that most people would cross the street if he was walking down it. Me included. I saw him about 25 years later here in Lakewood. He was balding, had on a really bad looking leather jacket that was very worn and it couldn't even close around his pot belly. His name was Carl (won't tell the last name), but he got into an ancient VOLKSWAGON!!! Now that was not cool!!! Funny. Regards, Jeanette Howeth (1949) Crumpler www.tomatolady.com Ray Bowen ('54) to lead national board -- Submitted by Noel Garland -Ray Bowen/National Science Foundation 2/8/2009 - Bill Driscoll '55 passed away this weekend - very suddenly. Taffy Krueger '55 reported that he had talked with Bill this week and Bill seemed to be in good spirits and health. Bill was a person with unparalleled devotion to his family, North Dallas High School and the Marine Corp. I want to strongly protest changing the name of North Dallas High School. I hope that Mr. Price's proposal is just that, a proposal. I hope you and the other members of the board will listen to us and have not made up your minds. The fact that I admired Judge Sanders and do not admire Commissioner Price has nothing to do with it. North Dallas is a part of my life and has been for well over 50 years. When something has that much history and memories, why would anyone even propose a name change? I didn't go to college. I went straight into the military. Therefore, North Dallas High School is everything to me. Please don't change the name. Put up a plaque or a statue in the School District building for Judge Sanders. in the Bulldog New but would also like to have it posted on the web site if possible. am gathering all the information I can on Dan Thompson. He taught at ND from 1950 - 1951; was Assistant Principle from 1952 - 1955; and then Principle from 1956 - 1957. Anyone who remembers him and could e-mail what you remember would be greatly appreciated. This includes good, bad or whatever. I want to write a biography of Mr. Thompson to put in one of the cases outside the library at ND. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted: 7200 Stemmons Freeway #501 Dallas, Texas 75247 214-819-9794 214-458-4070 inspectorbloodhound@yahoo.com Do anyone know if Mr. Fred Wright, a former teacher at North Dallas is still alive or where he is? Christian-Charles de Plicque, a former student is a pastor of a church in Finland, north of the Arctic Circle, who is suffering from cancer, and is trying to find some of his former teachers. Christian was a groundbreaker of sorts, being the first Black student to attend North Dallas. noelgarland@msn.com My favorite Mr. Tardy Story came right out of the horse s mouth: One day in class he told us of a time when he hung a student (boy)by his heels out Mr. Tardy s third floor classroom window! It is also my recollection that Mr. Tardy was a wrestler before he was a teacher. He could have been, he was huge! As far as a teacher goes I think he was the best! Once a student entered the classroom he/she was not allowed to speak English only Spanish. We studied very little from a school book. Instead we read La Luz which was a Spanish newspaper that Mr. Tardy wrote. A student had better know La Luz inside and out for Mr. Tardy spent classroom period asking questions in Spanish that you only knew the answer if you had read the newspaper. I have traveled in Mexico and lived in Texas with only my high school Spanish to back me up. Mr. Tardy has never let me down. From Din Adenalleva lpfreak98311@yahoo.com - Current NDHS Student - Hello. I'm currently a Senior at North Dallas.This year we are working on the Compass for 2007. As my assignment for the newspaper I have to write about a ghost that supposedly haunts North Dallas High. Since my freshman year, I've heard stories of a ghost and this year a student has even taken a picture of such ghost. I was wondering if perhaps you could post something asking if anyone knows about such ghost or has any stories of their own about any hauntings at ND. I would really like some info concerning these ghost stories. Thank you. New Building -- where OS's used to be - courtesy Gilbert Sandoval Shirley (Brown) Prictchard ('38) was recalling days at NDHS and mentioned Mr. Tardy making people write the Spanish alphabet backwards 50 times when they weren't paying attention. Also he stepped on boys toes when they misbehaved.

North Dallas Californian Luncheon at ISLANDS restaurant in Corona, CA on Saturday 11 September Go See Details 9/4/04 - From Ken Riley '55 (via Bill Driscoll) - a message before Frances. Thanks for your concern and your prayers. As I read the tracking reports, as of 8:00 am, it looks like Ft. Pierce is the likely target for direct hit. This is approximately 75 miles from Boca. I live inland 8 miles from the beach. My whole neighborhood is battened down, we have food and water supplies and positive attitude. We will probably lose electricity, the only question is for how long. As I write this, it is already too late to leave, so we will hunker down, hope fro the best. I will tell you how we made out after the storm. Bye for now,Ken Bell passed away, Monday, June 28th.

They can contact Briggette Allen Ambers @ bambers@infomartusa.com for more info. 214.800.8916 Can someone tell me how I can get the 1984 and 1985 yearbooks? gwdvm@blackfoot.net Drug Store Across Street - The drugs store (in name only) that was across the street from the school was the Cole and Haskell Drugs Store It was founded in 1938 (I think the school was founded in 1935) so they co-existed for many, many years. The last owners were Paul and Martha Jackson, whom we called Mom and Pop Jackson. The specialty was a huge burger called the Thang which was actually a double bacon cheese burger. The store had a grill and a fountain in the front a juke box and three pin ball machines. A nodding acquaintance was made to the drugstore name by two display case that had seldom bought over the counter drugs such as aspirin and antacids and such. I was the soda jerk there during the 1967-1968 school years. And remember fondly the cookouts Pop and Mom Jackson use to have for us at their South Oak Cliff house. Also if those booths could have talked!!!! Some of the thing I found that fell behind the booths when I cleaned up at the end of the day - Well - maybe I have said enough! A group of us painted the school after it was tagged by Jefferson High and our effort even made the paper. If anyone kept a copy please E-mail me. Manuel Vasquez, Class of '68 I don't know if anyone can help me, but here goes. In 2000, I bought a 1960's coke machine (the type that you pull bottles through the skinny door). The machine originally came from North Dallas high school. It was bought at public auction in 1985 by a man named Will Craven who kept it in his wood shop (in Will's Point Texas)until he sold it to me (on Ebay). I live in Massachusetts, so the machine has traveled quite a distance from it's original home. I would like to know if any alumni have any recollection of this machine. It has several initials carved on the top side which I think adds character history to the machine. I also wondered if it appeared in any old yearbook photos ( in the background of course). Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.- From Patrick McGuire MCG243@aol.com p.s. the machine still works great. moderator of the '54 class on this website, died on Tuesday, December 30, 2003.

Looks like they will have a good running game, but a little week on pass defense. You could tell it was their first game with 10 penalties for 100 yards. All in all it was exciting game and a come from behind win for the Bulldogs. I met the baseball coach and he really made me feel welcome as an alum. He said that he hopes that group would attend some of the games this year and promises us a wining season this year. R. Biard `30, Donna O Steen Edwards `49, Thomas G.
