Haunted North Dallas High??? From Virginia Festervan Ridley - | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 the swimming pool
which was later 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.

Sanger Trophy - by Gary Pina
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.

2/17/2007 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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From Anne Geralds - I had an article in the "Bulldog New" but would also like to have it posted on the web site if possible. I 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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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

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. |

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
