Flashback : Dallas 
Unfortunately almost every building shown there has since been replaced with buildings of absolutely zero architectural distinction whatsoever, including the beautiful chapel, the first building built of pre-stressed concrete west of the Mississippi and a building of true architectural value – knocked down to build a big nothingburger.
Each successive headmaster and Board of Trustees have felt the need to “leave their mark” on the campus by constructing ever more elaborate Taj Mahal like monuments to themselves. But the character of the campus has been altered, for the worse in my opinion.

Nice post! Bill “Boz” Scaggs is an alumni. He graduated in the same class as my brother, John Baxter, I’m pretty sure in 1963. Paula, do you have that actual 1963 yearbook?

Thanks! I don’t have the actual yearbook, Gigi — I accessed it through Ancestry.com.
