Now, I ask you. If our school has the yearbook with Tex Avery's photo in it as a SENIOR in 1926. The yearbook has his cartoons in it; and the living alumni who know about him all know that he graduated in 1926 ... then who is this person who keeps changing it back to 1927 ?? I'm not going to fool with this much more, but c'mon ... Tex Avery graduated in 1926 and it is a FACT. Isn't the point of Wikipedia to get the facts correct?

Multiple citations from sources connected with your school, including the actual school website itself, claim 1927. (See [1], [2], [3]) All we have to go on is your word, which is not verifiable. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Some press from Monday February 22, 2010 in the Dallas Morning News that corroborates the 1926 graduation date. The reporter, Scott Parks, sat in the school library and reviewed the 1926 yearbook; thus, he also cited the correct graduation year for Tex Avery of 1926. Interestingly, the NDHS website pulled the wrong year from WIKIPEDIA. How is that for a "vicious circle?" Tex Avery graduated in 1926. In fact, today, February 26, 2010, would have been Tex Avery's 102nd birthday. Do the math ... 1926 - 1908 = 18. Does anyone really believe that the very bright Tex Avery took an extra year to graduate high school?
