"Whats Up Doc" this popular catch phrase was used often in the hallways of North Dallas High School. We often associate this phrase with the popular animated character Bugs Bunny. So it should come as no surprise that Tex Avery was a student in those hallways.
North Dallas High School is considered the oldest , built in 1922,still in use in DISD . Avery is one of many famous alumni. Earle Cabell the Mayor of Dallas and later U S House of Representative member. The federal court building in downtown Dallas is named for him. Harold Barefoot Sanders a well known U S District Judge is another alum. He is the Judge that presided over the desegregation of Dallas schools. There has been some discussion of renaming the High School after him. If you are a fan of Walker Texas Ranger the school was used in several episodes.
So the next time you go past this High School , school starts August 24th, you will now know where Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny originated. Go Bulldogs !
