                                                                          From Noel Garland
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

12/17/2007 Lakewood Rats Story - From Jeanette Howeth Crumpler '49
 (if you have one send it to bulldog@northdallashigh.com)

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

Can anyone help Tina?

From: Tina DeSilva - I was told my dad attended North Dallas High School from 1950-1954.  I was wondering if anyone would remember him.   William Robert Ruge.  After graduation he joined the Navy. I would not find any mention of his name in class of 1954 and was wondering if maybe my Aunt gave me the wrong name. I lived in Dallas until about the age of 8 and attended Barton Elementary myself but moved away with my family. If you could help me I would appreciate it.  I need to obtain is transcripts or proof that he was in High School during those years Sincerely Tina DeSilva (nee Ruge)

                                                                                Favorite "Mr. Tardy Story"
From: Becky Searcy Marshall - 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.

Be afraid, be very afraid!

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

NDHS Scholarships 2004 -

reported by Edgar Richards 2006

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
NDHS Coke Machine - 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.
LOST 1983 CLASS RING - From Don Bearden who works for the City of Dallas - Several years ago while working at DFW International Airport, I found a ladies North Dallas High School class ring with the year 1983, and the name Joyce on the outside and the initials JAH on the inside of the band.  I called the school a couple of times and was told I would have to go to the school and maybe someone would be able to help me.  For some reason, I just never found time to do so.  Today I was on the internet and found this website and thought that I would try this method to locate the ring owner.  I would love to be able to return this ring to the rightful owner or to her family if possible and wondered if you knew anything about this person. If you do, or know someone that might, please have them email me or they can call me at 214-670-3167 which is my work number.  My cell phone number is 214-507-1535. Thanks. Don Bearden  Transportation Regulation Division Manager City of Dallas Public Works and Transportation
BULLDOG NEWS - Do you subscribe to the Bulldog News?  It is published by the Greater North Dallas High School Alumni Association (GNDHSAA) and is in the 14th year of operation.  The publication is produced by Jeanne Sterne Laurie who does a magnificent job in publishing notes from alumni of all class years (for instance, in a recent issue, there is an note by James Coker '53 who makes a tribute to C.B. Harrington, the speech teacher and tells a story about a student named "Maddog" who interrupted Coker in Harrington's class.  Anyone who knew "Big" Coker will be amazed that anyone ever interrupted him in any class  -- but you gotta read the article to understand).  Additionally, class reunions and events are published, along with obits, etc.  The Bulldog News is a fascinating read for students of any year. There are 2400 classmates who receive this "newspaper" that is published several times a year and mailed to the doorstep.  If you haven't joined the GNDHSAA to receive this newspaper, contact Jeanne Stern Laurie, 11155 Cactus Lane, Dallas TX 75238.  It's only $10/year. - Bob McCauley

NDHS History Project

From Howard Paige (1960)  - Mr Ernie Cerda is on site each Friday to do whatever is necessary to further the history of North Dallas High School, giving his one day off each week to work on saving North Dallas' History. He can be reached at the following numbers, and email address. Home: 214-361-9228  Bus: 2140-678-9460 Fax: 214-634-3047  Email cerda67@sbcglobal.net

 

From Noel Garland - Two things Mr. Cerda needs are another display case, and the whereabouts of the old boys locker room, by the old gym. I would suppose the girls had a locker room next door to the boys, but I'm not sure about that.

From Kelly Parks - Went to the first game last night and watched the Bulldogs beat Houston North Shores 27 to 22. 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.
