Woerner Sellers, 1930 The "unsinkable" Titanic ocean liner and Louise Woerner Sellers both launched in 1912; but only Louise is still afloat. An honor student at Woodrow, Louise was on the committee that designed the 1930 Class Ring, which she held onto for 83 years until she donated it to Woodrow in 2013. Like many of our hall of Famers, Louise did not take the easy path to making her mark. In 1941, married with one child and another on the way, the unexpected death of her husband left her widowed with children to support. To make ends meet, Louise cut grass, took in sewing, and when her new son was only 4 months old, took a secretary position at O.M. Roberts Elementary school. From there, Louise moved on to progressively better paying secretarial positions with a variety of employers including GMAC, U.S. Engineers, Burris Feed Mills, and Airmaid Hosiery, ending up at the J. Hugh Campbell Company in 1950. It was called The Flag Store and then mainly sold flags and badges. Louise did much more than secretarial work; she sewed flags and once had to sew 1,700 red satin garters for a film productions company. In 1962, she bought the company and her son soon joined her, after which they developed a very successful advertising division selling promotional products to companies such as Texas Instruments and Southwest Airlines. Louise became very active in the industry, becoming a board member and a two-term president of the Specialty Advertising Association Southwest. She became a promotional product wizard. Still, The Flag Store continued to make and sell flags and governmental bodies and schools often called needing unusual flags for hosting visiting international dignitaries. Louise often found that such flags weren’t commercially available, so she did the research and sewed the flags herself. Through it all, Louise turned The Flag Store into a nationally- known specialty business that stayed in her family until 2011. In 2013, Louise generously donated the funds needed to install the new flagpole that is located in the front lawn here at Woodrow. We believe Louise is Woodrow’s oldest living alumna and we celebrate her perseverance and vitality. Ruth Allen Mewhinney, M.D., 1933 Dr. Ruth I. Allen was a true trailblazer, and credits Woodrow for nurturing her interest in science. After graduating from SMU in 1937, she went on to become one of only three women among the 100 new doctors graduating from UT Galveston’s Medical School in 1941. After an internship at the Women’s Medical College Hospital in Philadelphia and pediatric residencies at both the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor and Children’s’ Medical Center in Dallas, Dr. Allen briefly practiced in Dallas before moving with her husband, Dr. Logan Mewhinney, to St. Louis for his Pediatric residency. While in St. Louis, she became Assistant Director of the County’s Health Department, after first serving as its Director of Maternal and Child Health Programs. After the Mewhinneys returned to Dallas, Dr. Allen resumed her practice, becoming more than a just physician – she specialized in, and revolutionized, pediatric and adolescent care for girls and became a compassionate and intelligent role model for at least three generations of women in North Texas, all while raising two children of her own, both of whom also became physicians, Dr. Anne Monning of Dallas and Dr. Hugh Mewhinney of Austin. Dr. Allen touched and changed the lives of thousands of young women during her career, challenging them to resist gender stereotypes and strive for excellence while pursuing their dreams. She has been a frequent speaker at schools to faculty and parents on timely adolescent topics. Over the years, Dr. Allen has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Distinguished Physician Award from the American Medical Women’s Association in 1998, the Mead Johnson Pediatric Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008, and the SMU Distinguished Alumni Award – 2011 History Maker, among many others. G. Mark Goode, Jr., 1938 Marquis “Mark” G. Goode, Jr. left Woodrow and began college at Texas A&M, but WWII interrupted his studies and he was called up, commissioned, and sent off to Europe, where he served as an officer in the U.S. Army. After the war, he returned to A&M, finished his Civil Engineering degree in 1947, and then went straight into what became a 40 year career with the Texas Highway Department. He had no idea then that his career was going to parallel the construction of one of the greatest interstate highway systems in the country, but it did, and Mark had a big role in making it happen. From 1980 until he retired in 1986, Mark was the Engineer-Director for the Texas Highway Department, managing the fastest period of road growth in the history of Texas Highways. Mark initiated a recruiting and training program that opened doors for women and minorities and led the Department into the age of automation. Under his leadership, the Highway Department initiated the highly successful “Don’t Mess With Texas” antilitter campaign and the “Adopt a Highway” program. During his tenure, Texas was at the forefront of highway development in the country. Mark shared Texas’ expertise and picked the brains of other highway engineers as he served on the executive and policy committees of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, which recognized his contributions in 1984 by bestowing on him its highest honor, the MacDonald Award. He also served as president of the Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and on the executive committee of the Transportation Research Board. In 2008, Mark was inducted into the Texas Transportation Hall of Honor for his outstanding contributions that helped give Texas one of the finest multimodal transportation systems in the world.

Pete Harris Pappas, 1938 A highly respected Restaurateur whose acumen and knowledge spawned some of the Southwest’s best known restaurants, Pete Pappas co- founded what has become Pappas Restaurants, an 80 restaurant chain that includes the Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchens, Pappasito’s Cantinas, Pappas Bar-B-Q restaurants, Pappas Brothers Steakhouses, Pappas Burgers, Pappas Seafood House, and the Yia Yia Mary’s Greek Kitchen. After graduating from Woodrow in 1938, Pete bought the Piccadilly Restaurant in Grand Prairie, but when WWII started, he sold it and joined the U.S. Army Air Corps, where he served as a Master Sergeant in the Inspector General’s Corps, leading to his lifelong love of recreational flying. After the War, Pete and his brothers (Jim, Tom, and George) heeded their father’s suggestion and moved to Houston in 1946 to open Pappas Refrigeration, a restaurant supply business, Always a tinkerer and a “Fix-it” guy, that was where Pete invented and patented a number of restaurant equipment items still in use today. However, in 1967, Pete decided, “I’ve helped build so many restaurants; I think I’m going to do my own.” So he and brother Jim left the supply business and opened the Dot Coffee Shop in Houston, followed what is now known as Pappas Bar-B-Q. Jim’s sons joined the business soon after and it continued to expand into what is now a multi-state chain of restaurants. Although a great restaurant innovator and operator, Pete’s passion was on the real estate side of the business: He had a keen sense for trends and demographics and prided himself in going with his own hunches about new locations rather than relying on industry data. In his words, he was “happiest when making a business deal.” Pete never forgot Woodrow and kept up his Dallas ties over the years. His daughter, Pam Mattingly, remembers that after having attended the 50th Reunion of his 1938 WW Class, he remarked that he had never seen so many ‘old’ people in his life! A recreational pilot who was also passionate about boats and boating, Pete died in Houston in 2005. Charles Robert “Dr. Bob” Smith, M.D., 1940 An East Dallas visionary who recognized that East Dallas needed much better access to health facilities, Dr. Bob Smith made it happen in a big way: Not only did he build and grow Doctors’ Hospital (near White Rock Lake), he also established what is now known as Doctors’ Healthcare and Rehab Center for long-term services, as well as Arcady Health Services Inc., a health care management company. Together, these entities made a huge difference in the quality and accessibility of health care not only in East Dallas, but also for surrounding counties. After graduating from Woodrow, he attended SMU, where he earned both B.A. and B.S degrees. After obtaining his M.D. from Baylor College of Medicine, he returned to Dallas for a residency in Pediatrics at Children’s Medical Center before opening his pediatrics practice near White Rock Lake in 1951. He soon realized that, when the lake flooded, patients couldn’t get to Baylor or other Dallas hospitals. So he developed a plan for a new hospital and, went to New York to arrange financing, and in 1957, he bought the land. Doctors Hospital opened in 1957 and eventually grew to 300 beds under his leadership as CEO. In 1984, Tenet Healthcare bought the hospital and in 1989, the Dr. Bob and Jean Smith Foundation was established. Since then, it has given well over $15 million to medical and educational causes, mostly in and around Dallas, including to UT Southwestern Medical School, Baylor College of Medicine, Baylor University Medical Center, Children’s’ Medical Center, Greater Dallas Crime Commission, SMU’s Pre-Medical Program, SMU’s Health Center, and many others. Dr. Bob served on the Boards of Trustees of SMU and of the Dallas Museum of Art and has been honored as a distinguished alumnus of both SMU and the Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Bob Smith died in June, 2006. H. Neill McFarland, Ph.D., 1941 After he lettered in basketball at Woodrow and was picked as one of the 5 members on the Dallas Journal’s All-City High School Basketball Team, Neill McFarland put his nose to the grindstone and completed a B.A. at TCU in just 3 years, earned a Divinity degree from SMU’s Perkins School of Theology in just 3 more years, served as Assistant Pastor or Pastor at three churches, and received a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1954. Amazing accomplishments, but that Ph.D. was what he needed to get the job he wanted, as he started teaching at the Perkins School of Theology in 1954. Soon, though, SMU recognized his administrative skills and vision, so he was tapped to serve 5 years as SMU’s Vice-President and Provost, where he developed and supervised major reforms in the university's curriculum that proved basic to SMU's rise to academic prominence. Next, he was made Director of and built up SMU's International Programs before he finally returned full-time teaching in 1979. His international experiences led to his founding of the Japan-America Society of Dallas in 1970, which has flourished and continues to host a variety of cross-cultural event annually. In 1986, the Japanese government awarded him the "Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays With Neck Ribbon,” for his promotion of mutual understanding and friendship between the U.S. and Japan. He has published over 20 works specifically pertaining to Japanese culture and religions, as well as two books: "The Rush Hour of the Gods" (McMillan Co., 1967) and "Daruma: The Founder of Zen in Japanese Art" (Kodansha International, 1987). Dr. McFarland currently is Professor of History of Religions emeritus at SMU and Founder and President emeritus of the Japan- America Society of Dallas. Chris P. Xeros, 1945 At age 86, Chris Xeros shows no sign of slowing down. Always devoted to music and education, after he graduated from Woodrow, Chris earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Music (1948) and a Master’s Degree in Music Education (1953) from what is now the University of North Texas, following that with 3 more years of study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. A gifted educator, Chris taught music to DISD students for 39 years. Under his tutelage, the 1973 W.T. White High School Orchestra was the first high school orchestra in the North Texas Region to be named “Honor Orchestra” by the Texas Music Educator’s Assn. and was honored as one of the best high school orchestras in midwest America by the Mid-West Band & Orchestra Assn. But Chris didn’t limit himself to working with student performers, In 1963, he orgaznized the Richardson Symphony Orchestra, the first fully-professional 55 piece suburban orchestra in the DFW Metroplex, and served as its Conductor for 30 years. Thanks to Ross Perot’s generous funding, the RSO was honored to be only the

Later, he developed the Allen Philharmonic Orchestra and served as its Director for 9 years. In addition, his Xeros Music Enterprisees produces instrument accessories, including endpin anchors for cellos and basses, as well as Bass-Transport wheels, and has sold over half a millon products world-wide. He has endowed the Orchestra Conductor’s Suite and a Viola Scholarship at UNT and, in 1990, the Chris Xeros Friends of Music Scholarship was established in his honor at Richland College to benefit humanities students. In 2011, the Texas House of Represntatives formally recogrnized Chris Xeros for his achievements and the lasting contributrions he has made to music, music education, and his community Charles B. Key, M.D., 1948 How to square a missionary fervor with the responsibility of helping patients who need your services as one of the finest ophthalmological surgeons around? Ask Dr. Key, because he has invested a lifetime in doing just that. After graduating from Woodrow in 1948, he completed both B.A. and M.D. degrees at the University of Texas and was inducted into the A.O.A. Scholastic Honor Medical Society for being among the top scholars in his class, all by age 23. He served as a Flight Surgeon (Captain) in the U.S. Air Force, completed a residency in Ophthalmology at UT Southwestern Medical School, and has been a Board Certified Ophthalmologist since 1963. He decided to specialize in cataract and refractive surgery, helping thousands to discard their glasses. Dr. Key built his own JCAH-approved eye surgery center and hired the best staff to ensure the highest quality of care. That practice is now the famed Key-Whitman Eye Center with over a dozen of the best Ophthalmologists and Optometrists in practice today. Dr. Key’s desire to participate in Christian missions always was strong, but early on he became convinced that he would best serve those missions through financially supporting missionary work. So not only did he work 6 days a week (sometimes operating on as many as 100 patients in a single day), he also provided free eye surgery to patients who could not afford it, as well as to seminary students and missionaries. Often, his financial contributions exceeded 50% of his income. At age 65, Dr. Key became serious about fitness and started running. In 1979, he heard about the Turkey Trot and has run that 8 miles every year since and hopes to still be running it at 100. Dr. Key also solo flies jets and has a license to teach ballooning, soaring, and gliders. He remembers Woodrow fondly and has generously supported the Woodrow Wilson High School Alumni Assn. William J. (“Bill”) O’Neil, 1951 A noted American entrepreneur, stockbroker and writer, Bill O’Neil founded the Investor's Business Daily® and the stock brokerage firm William O'Neil+Co. Inc. and he is the creator of the CAN SLIM® investment strategy. After graduation from Woodrow, he received a B.B.A. degree from SMU in 1955 and served in the U.S. Air Force. In 1958, he became a stockbroker and developed an investment strategy making early use of computers. In 1960, he was one of the first accepted to Harvard Business School’s Program for Management Development and, through his research, he invented the CAN SLIM® strategy and became the top performer in his firm. At age 30, he bought a seat on the NYSE (the youngest at that time ever to do so) and, in 1963, he founded William O'Neil+Co. Inc., a stock brokerage firm that developed the first computerized daily securities database in 1963-64, and currently tracks over 200 data items for over 10,000 companies. His launch of Investor's Business Daily® in 1984 opened the field to everyday investors. Today, he is chairman of Investor's Business Daily, Inc., William O'Neil+Co. Inc., MarketSmith, Inc., O'Neil Data Systems, Inc. and Data Analysis, Inc. Bill O'Neil is the author of several successful investing books, including the two-million-plus bestseller “How to Make Money in Stocks, 4th edition” (McGraw-Hill Professional, June 2009). TJFR Group and MasterCard International have included Bill O’Neil as one of the top 100 business news luminaries of the century. He received the 2002 "Classic Award of Recognition" from the AeA, the largest high-tech industry group in the U.S., the Stock Trader's Almanac dedicated its 37th edition in 2004 to him, and Investopedia has named Bill O’Neil as one of the Top 20 “Greatest Investors.” In 2008, Bill O’Neil and his wife Fay C. O’Neil established the O'Neil Center for Global Markets and Freedom at SMU to study the impact of competitive market forces on freedom and prosperity in the global economy and to offer training for forward-looking individuals who recognize the importance of globalization in changing the environment in which business operates now and in the future. Lt. Col. Edwin L. Atterberry, 1952 Edwin Lee Atterberry was an active member of the R.O.T.C. while at Woodrow. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S.M.C. Reserve, then became a United States Air Force aviation cadet in 1955. Earning his wings in 1956, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. On August 12, 1967, on a reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam, Captain Atterberry was shot down and captured. On May 10, 1969, he and fellow POW Captain John Dramesi planned an elaborate escape from the “Zoo Annex” where they were prisoners in Hanoi. They were captured the next day. Held in captivity for 646 days, Atterberry was tortured to death on May 18, 1969 for participated in the escape. Dramesi also was tortured, but survived to describe the escape attempt and Atterberry’s torture in his 1975 book “Code of Honor.” Edwin Atterberry’s body was returned to the United States on March 13, 1974 and he was buried in the Field of Honor at Restland Memorial Park in Dallas. Edwin Atterberry was posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross and promoted to the rank of Lt Col. Lt. Col. Atterberry is honored on panel 24E, row 102 of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. and at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, where Atterberry Hall (Hangar 12) is named after him. His Air Force Cross Citation Reads, in part: “The President of the United States of America . . . awards the Air Force Cross to Lieutenant Colonel Edwin L. Atterberry for extraordinary heroism in military operations against an opposing armed force as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam from 11 May 1969 to 14 May 1969. . . . Through his extraordinary heroism and aggressiveness in the face of the enemy, and in the dedication of his service to his country, Colonel Atterberry reflected the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.”

However, information contained on these pages may not be copied or reproduced without the written permission of the Woodrow Wilson High School Alumni Association, Inc. Thomas A. (“Tom”) Tombrello, Ph.D., 1954 Tom Tombrello exemplifies academic achievement. After graduating from Woodrow, he attended Rice University, where he earned his Bachelor’s (1958), Masters (1960), and Ph.D. (1961) degrees in Physics. He was an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University and then at the California Institute of Technology (a/k/a “Caltech,” the home of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratories), and has been a Full Professor of Physics at Caltech since 1971. He was Caltech’s William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor from 1997-2011, and served as the Chairman of Caltech’s Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy from 1998-2008 and as Caltech’s Technology Assessment Officer from 1996-2010.

He is on the Board of Directors of John and Fannie Hertz Foundation, a non-profit that awards graduate fellowships nationally. Barbara Byrd Adamson, 1956 A Truism: Without the work and dedication of Barbara Adamson, Woodrow would not have an Alumni Association. In 1987, Barbara co- founded the Woodrow Wilson High School Alumni Association with Kyle Rains. She made sure it was properly incorporated and set up as an IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization for the benefit of future generations of Wildcats, and she served as WWHSAA’s first President. Since 2009, she has been Vice-President of WWHSAA and a Member of its Board of Directors. In 2001, she co-founded the Dallas High Schools Alumni Association to coordinate alumni activities and programs between Dallas High Schools and is its Vice-President. Barbara’s business background with Sun Oil Co., Dr. Pepper Co., Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Texas, as a small business owner, and as a Consultant and Fund Raiser, combined with her community service experience with Metrocare, the Dallas Motion Picture Classification Board, DISD’s Commission for Education Excellence, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and the Komen Race For The Cure have provided valuable insight and ideas for helping Woodrow and Woodrow Alums. In her work at BCBS’s Caring For Children Foundation, she developed a statewide outreach program that has benefitted thousands of uninsured and underserved children in Texas by providing more than 1,100,000 free immunizations. This is a free private program that is the only one of its kind in the U.S. and has brought numerous acknowledgements from cities and counties throughout the State, as well as Resolutions of support from the Texas Senate and House of Representatives. Personally, she received a Proclamation from Houston’s Mayor and City Council declaring that “February 1, 2011 is Barbara Adamson Day in Houston, Tx” in appreciation for her immunization outreach efforts in that city. A 20 year breast cancer survivor, Barbara organized the largest private (not corporate) team to ever run in a Komen Race in the country. Mary Beth Coniglio Rogers, 1957 Mary Beth credits her English teachers at Woodrow for teaching her how to write and organize her thoughts, the skills that have been the foundation for her entire career in communications, public service, and administration. Those teachers emphasized the value of writing and clear thinking, and their almost daily writing assignments taught her to love the process of creating readable prose. Their inspiration, plus her time working on the Woodrow Wilson News, led Mary Beth to major in journalism and English at the University of Texas at Austin. Mary Beth has written several books, including the definitive biography of Barbara Jordan, the first African American elected to Congress from the South. In addition to her writing career, Mary Beth served as Deputy Treasurer of the State of Texas, and was Chief of Staff to the late Governor Ann Richards. Most recently, she served as President and CEO of KLRU-TV, the public television station in Austin that brings education, culture, and information to millions of citizens. She has been a public speaker, an international lecturer, a member of a college board of trustees, and has served on the boards of numerous non-profit organizations. For five years, she was a member of the faculty of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, and was honored as an outstanding teacher by the UT Ex-Students Association. In 1994, she was inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame for her civic and community leadership. Mary Beth is the oldest of five siblings who all graduated from Woodrow: Martha, Benita, Susie, and Frank. She continues to write and consult with various organizations and individuals. Harvey Wiggins, 1960 Harvey Wiggins, President and Founder of Plexon Inc, is well-known worldwide as an early pioneer who created the neural data acquisition equipment market as a commercial industry. Almost 45 years ago, Harvey wrote his first neural spike acquisition program on a little minicomputer using paper tape and a Teletype for development 1/0. Fifteen years following that pivotal start, Harvey founded Spectrum Scientific in 1983 in an effort to pass on his experience and provide powerful signal capture, processing, and analysis to the broad field of neuroscience researchers. Spectrum Scientific became known as Plexon in 1996. Backed by Professor Don Woodward of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Harvey designed the Multichannel Acquisition Processor (MAP) Data Acquisition System - affectionately called the "Harvey Box" even today. The MAP System was the first design to provide real-time processing using parallel DSP chips of up to 128 channels of spike signals. Back then, it was controlled by a 486-class PC. Harvey personally designed all of the hardware and performed the DSP and microcontroller programming. At that time, no other company was addressing the need for large

He earned his Masters of Science degree at SMU in Electrical Engineering, carrying double majors in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering. His early career included computer engineering for Nuclear Chicago Corporation and leading a research computer facility at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders where he first became enamored with neurophysiology. After 30 years of service to researchers and numerous corporate awards, Harvey continues to lead Plexon with the same energy and vision that fueled his entrepreneurial spirit decades ago. He has been recognized repeatedly for his vision and leadership - including having been featured and described in the magazine D CEO as, "Certain people just don't need last names." John Robert (“Bobby”) May, 1961 After Woodrow, Bobby attended Rice University on a track and field scholarship and was an outstanding high hurdler, winning four Southwest Conference championships in 1963-65 as well as an NCAA champion ship in 1964 and was a finalist for the Olympic trials in the hurdles in 1964. He graduated in 1965, cum laude, with a business degree and pursued business interests in Waterloo, Iowa and Dallas. He returned to collegiate athletics in 1967 when Rice hired him as Assistant Track Coach and Assistant Business Manager. He became Head Track Coach and Assistant Athletic Director for Business in 1976. In 1979, he retired from coaching and devoted all of his efforts to the business activities of Rice’s Athletic Department. In 1984, he became Associate Athletic Director and, in 1989, Bobby May became Rice University’s 12th Athletic Director. Bobby will tell you that being an athletic director is a 24/7 job, consisting of fund raising, travel, conference coordination and of course, the politics that go with it. A particular challenge is to hire and retain successful coaches in order to avoid a revolving door. Bobby supervised the hiring of football coaches Fred Goldsmith and Ken Hatfield, basketball coach Willis Wilson, tennis coach Ron Smart, track and field coach Jon Warren, and baseball coach Wayne Graham. Bobby also played a leadership role in renovating the Rice athletic facilities and significantly increasing the student athlete endowment. Bobby May has served on many national and conference committees, including the executive committee for Division I-A athletic directors, and the NACDA executive committee. In the NCAA he served on the Division I championships cabinet and in the WAC he was a member of the championships committee. He retired as Athletic Director in 2006. Bobby’s personal athletic achievements were recognized in 1971, when he was part of the second group of Owls inducted into the Rice Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2009, his work was honored by his professional peers with his induction into the National Athletic Directors Hall of Fame. Phillip Shinoda, Ph.D., M.B.A., 1962 After Woodrow, Phillip Shinoda graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara and the University of California, Berkeley where he obtained his Ph.D. in Business Administration and an M.B.A. in Applied Economics. He then taught at San Francisco State College, Wake Forest University, and Oregon State University. For twenty years, he was President of San Lorenzo of Texas, an importer and distributor of floral and decorative products. Dr. Shinoda now is Principal at Shinoda Associates LLC and the editor of GreenSourceDFW.org He formerly was the Director of Memnosyne Institute’s Center for The Environment, Science and Economics and, prior to that position, he served as the Director of Corporate and Community Relations at the University of Texas at Arlington. He has been active in civic affairs and has served on the Boards of AIDS ARMS Inc., the Center for Nonprofit Management, the Community Council of Greater Dallas, the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Dallas Theater Center, Galaxy Counseling Center, North Texas Public Broadcasting, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealy Plaza, The Hockaday School, the UT Southwestern Medical School, and the Women’s Issues Network. He served as a member of the Dallas Citizens Council and was also active in the Asian American community as co-founder and president of the Asian American Forum and on the boards of the Japan American Society and Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP). Active in Democratic politics, he was appointed to the governing board of the International Trade Commission of the State of Texas by Governor Ann Richards and, in 2006, was the Democratic Candidate for the Texas House of Representatives District 114 seat. Dr. Shinoda has been recognized by the Dallas Asian American Bar Association with its Lifetime Community Advocate Award, the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas’ Above and Beyond Award, and the Leadership Dallas Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumni Award. Joseph Michael “Dusty” Hill, 1967 “Tush,” “I Heard It On The X,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Legs,” “La Grange.” If some of those songs aren’t familiar to you, you’ve been asleep since 1969 when Woodrow alum Dusty Hill teamed up with Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard as the blues rock band ZZ TOP. Over the past 40+ years, this 3 man group has sold millions of records, and they’re still at it today, as their 2014 tour of the U.S., Canada, and Europe is underway now. While at Woodrow, Dusty played with his brother, Rocky, and Richard Harris as the Deadbeats, the Warlocks, Lady Wild and the Warlocks, and the American Blues at familiar venues including Lou Anns, The Disc-A-Go-Go, and the Cellar Clubs in Dallas and Ft. Worth. Along the way, Richard left the band and Frank Beard became the drummer. When they moved to Houston, Rocky left, so Frank and Dusty hooked up with Billy Gibbons to make music history. ZZ TOP has sold over 50 million albums, 16 studio albums, 11 gold records, and 7 platinum records. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. In addition to the world of music, Dusty – known for his long beard and sunglasses – has had many screen appearances, including in “Back to the Future Part III,” “Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme,” and “Deadwood,” and as himself in “King of the Hill” and “Duck Dynasty.” Dusty’s charitable fundraising includes Veterans Matter, a Toledo-based nonprofit providing rent deposits for veterans who are screened and aided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs Supported Housing program (HUD-VASH). In 1986, the Texas House of Representatives named ZZ TOP “Official Texas Heroes” and Texas Governor Ann Richards proclaimed May 4, 1991 as “ZZ TOP Day.”

Joaquin Zihuataneo, 1989 Joaquín Zihuatanejo is a poet, spoken word artist, and award-winning teacher. Born and raised in the barrio of East Dallas, in his work Joaquín strives to capture the duality of the Chicano culture. Sometimes brutal, but always honest his work depicts the essence of barrio life, writing about a youth that existed somewhere between the streets of the barrio and the dream wanderings of a boy who found refuge in a world of stories and poems. Joaquín has been called by critics, “one of the most dynamic and passionate performance poets in the country, melding equal parts comedy, poetry, and dramatic monologue into a crowd-pleasing display of verbal fireworks…always thrilling, his hilariously manic presentation is full of compassion and nuance, never sacrificing substance for style, leading many to call him poetry slam’s answer to John Leguizamo.” For seven years Joaquín was an award-winning English and creative writing public high school teacher for ninth and eleventh grade students inspiring a new collection of poems from the classroom entitled “Stand Up and Be Heard.” For the last four years, Joaquin has taken a break from his teaching position to tour North America and Europe teaching workshops and performing his one man spoken word show at hundreds of colleges, universities, conferences and poetry slams. A National Poetry Slam Finalist, Grand Slam Spoken Word Champion, and HBO Def Poet, Joaquín has performed his poetry at universities, conferences and poetry slams all over the Unites States, Canada, Mexico and Europe. Joaquín recently won the 2008 Individual World Poetry Slam Championship besting 77 poets representing cities all over North America, France and Australia. Due in part to this victory, Joaquín received a book deal with Wordsmith Press, published in the fall of 2010. Also because of this victory, Joaquín was the poet chosen to represent the U.S. at the 2009 World Cup of Poetry Slam in Paris, France, a competition that he won besting 13 poets from 13 different nations making him the number one ranked slam poet in the world on both sides of the Atlantic. He currently lives just north of his hometown of Dallas with his wife and two daughters. Joaquín has two passions in his life, his wife, Aída, and poetry, always in that order. Travis H.

Coach Theo “Cotton” Miles, Honorary Wildcats of the 1960s knew only one Football coach: “Cotton” Miles. Students loved him, regardless of whether they played football; they knew the legend: Before Woodrow, “Cotton” Miles had led White Oak to six district titles and a co-state championship. This man knew football and Woodrow was damn lucky to have him. In fact, the students dedicated Woodrow’s 1967 Crusader Yearbook to Coach Miles! Under Coach Miles’ leadership, Woodrow won District 7 of 11 seasons and, in 1969, he took the Wildcats all the way to the State Semifinal game, where the Wildcats lost to the Wichita Falls team that went on to win that year’s state 4A championship. Coach Miles played football at Lamar College and Stephen F. Austin, where he was selected to Who’s Who in Colleges and Universities before graduating in 1948. After that, he became very successful coaching at White Oak through the 1950s, before coming to Woodrow in 1959. In 1970, he left Woodrow and coached at the new Skyline High School for several years before he decided to leave coaching entirely to become the Principal at Wills Point High School. During his 27 year coaching career, Coach Miles amassed an enviable lifetime coaching record of 184 Wins, 81 Losses, and 7 Ties, and his prowess led Gene Wilson to write "Cotton & Co.: The Story of a Texas High School Coaching Legend,” a book about Coach Miles that is still being sold today on Amazon.com. Coach Miles has received the Stephen F. Austin State University Lettermen's Association Jack of Honor Award and he has been elected to the Stephen F. Austin State University Hall of Honor, to the Texas High School Coaches Hall of Honor, and – in 2010 – to the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.
