Douglas High School - Eagle Yearbook (Douglas, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1955 volume:

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To the students and graduates of Douglas High School. Douglas High School has turned out many fine graduates from its senior class in the past. These graduates who put forth the necessary effort here in school to make an ex- cellent report have also made accomplishments in life in proportion to their school record. Our school is proud of these graduates who worked hard to set high standards and ideals for themselves, and they are now good witnesses for Douglas High School. We have every reason to believe that we will be proud of the class of 1955. It is our belief that each senior has mastered enough of the fundamental subjects and the philosophy of fair play to become a well-developed and useful citizen in his community. MRS.

C£ao SiwpAecy, Lookl Here comes Gerald Foshee with his wife, Linda Foshee, begging him to come back to her and their nine children. Fay Dean Smith, the biggest flirt of our class, is now an old maid. She is taking Miss Scruggs's place teaching at Douglas. Sherrel Cook, our new sheriff at High Mound has been chasing Marlin Edwards and Sonny Denson for speeding. Gwendolyn Bartlett took Mrs. Thomas’s place; so they say you can chew gum in English now. Della Mae Morrow and Mable Sue Lawson will appear on the “Max David Talent Show. You knew Arthur Godfrey had retired. Well, it looks as if Barbara McCreless and Gail Dean landed a job in Childersburg selling newspapers on a Street Corner. Turn on the Television someone, it’s almost time for “Two for the Money” with Herb Shriner and the special guests are Edsel Whitehead and Herbert Stanford. John Crawford stopped in at David Dyar’s apothecary at Mt. Hebron last week to get him some vitamins. It seems he is getting a little thin. Donnie Wallace has turned out to be one of America's most famous artists. Wilazene Hayes is singing at the large night clubs in Hollywood. Darlene Holderfield will go to Africa to cut her new role in the film. “Seven Year Itch.” s Jimmy Kinney, the vicious bank robber, is now one of the “Ten Most Wanted Criminals.” F. B. I. agents, James Smith and Ronald Pankey are on his trail. Barbara Beasley, sweater girl, is entering a modeling school at Needmore. I just recently learned why all the boys are joining the armed services--Why? Because nobody but our magnetic Johnnie Wheeler is serving as U. S. O. Hostess. Looks like James Kitchens and Lloyd Howard have given up their service careers to advertise for prospective brides through Sara Ann Harris’s “Lonely Hearts” column of the Mt. Hebron Herald. Miss Harris recommended off hand to them Ila Kathryn Hewett and Laverne Bright. Colleen Lipscomb, after graduating from Nixon Chapel College, is now baby sitting for Ruby Murray at Albertville. I saw on television today where Lawrence Goodman won the National Chicken Show. But why wouldn't he with Lendell Benefield and Robert Earl Chappel as judges. Inoma Fainn and Bonnie Mason are the new owners of the Cadillac Company. Betty Scruggs is their Ace Testing Driver. Managers, Wyndell Henson and John Montgomery, are expecting twenty-five thousand people to attend the Wednesday night performance in the Knock-Out Auditorium. The performers, the “Great Singers,” are none other than Marvin Childers and Wallace Fant. By: Betty Jo Scruggs JBi mm COMPLIMENTS OF M0% and C.C.
