Just as no two students have been identical, indeed no two years have been quite the same, but all have been mileposts along a common highway. From the roaring twenties, through the depressing thirties, the war-torn forties, to the still fearful fifties, Douglas High School has prided herself upon her ability to turn out well balanced men and women who go on adding to their sum totals of knowledge after graduation, Her students have had to use the city streets for a campus, so tightly crowded together are the halls of learning of D,H.S, Yet no young man with a pretty girl by the hand has ever felt cheated as he strolled from the campus to a convenient drug store hangout. As each springtime burst out in all its glory- and there is a glory in South Georgia springtimes--ra girl tired of Geometry or Chaucer could always circle college drive, where it was perpetually open season and the game was abundant. ny an ' t' ution f arning boasts of 'ts ' 'ed owers, ' ' ' gs aid clown wth han i stone and fashioned of roughhewn timbers It is not so at Douglas High School Her graduates must brag instead of intangible things of brave new ideas of leadership in mapping fresh routes for the mind or of the benefits that accrue from constant change Some Douglas High School graduates remember most vividly the classroom sessions which frightened or inspired them exploding beakers in a chemistry leb book reports due on the first of the month math problems that would not solve themselves But Douglas High School is something more than this It is a crisp November afternoon when our football team looked like AllAr'n rican to lt is the frenzied hour before sending the Buccaneer to the printers when ideas flowed like molasses i nuary e in ones cass o as in a i r clas at a JuniorSen r Banquet and the smiles and tears of graduation We trust that this volume of the Piratecho is such that it stimulates only the happiest memories in the minds of Douglas High School graduates and that each will recall again a dream o bliss o beautiful to last X ,A N sm K ' X N.

Growth is one ot The first laws ot nature and progress should march on. This should be The characteristic ot The spirit ot any institution. With The close ot This school year The Douglas High School will enter into a new era or chapter. Next year There will be a new campus, new buildings, new Teachers, and many new students. ln spite ot whatever change that may take place I am certain There will always be an abiding love and a deep feeling of nostalgia in The hearts and minds ot Those who attended and Those who taught in old Douglas High. As you, The members ot The Senior Class ot l955, write The last pages in one of The chapters of The present Douglas High School and venture forth into the world ot real lite, I hope you will tind happiness, achieve success in whatever you undertake To do, and that you will always exemplify The high standards ot scholarship and citizenship which we have tried To main- tain at Douglas High. l want to congratulate and express my appreciation to The members ot the Piratecho! Statt tor the excellent contribution you have made to Douglas High by publishing The 1955 edition ot The Piratecho. Commendations to you tor a iob well done. T. H. WALL, JR.

CHARLES NELSON Secretary to the Principal 14 H147 We talk so much about Douglas High School being dissolved, to be active no more. ln the sense only of material values is it dying. What a school stands for, its spirit, its teachers' impressions, its caliber of students will live on and on. We should resolve that our new high school will always be better and strive to make it so. We cannot live on sentimentality. Progress stalls whenever we are sticklers for tradition. We must never be afraid to face new situations, no matter what uneasiness or anxiety it may cause. Even though Douglas High School will be no more after this year, we know memories will live on, new students will create new enthusiasm. We must prepare to fall in line. The production of a high school annual is education in action. Each year our senior class takes the responsibility for portraying graphically our entire school life and for providing a record for posterity. Our school adheres not only to the value of the mastery of fundamental processes, but emphasizes, deservedly, such vital objectives as citizenship education, character training, and the development of individual talents. This yearbook proiects to the reader are enlarged concept of the 3 R's. The organization, detailed planning, coordination, business experience, weighing of values, exercise of judgment, necessary in a publication of this type, make a production of this nature truly education in action. i in 'Mild 5.

THOMAS FRIER lClass of 19351 Under the sponsorship of the graduating class of 1952, the Douglas High School Alumni Association was officially organized December 23, 1953. The purpose of the Association is to re- vive high school memories, to meet old ac- quaintances, and to keep alive the spirit and ideals of Douglas High by having an alumni banquet once a year. Even though the merger of Douglas City Schools with other Coffee County high schools to form the Coffee County High School will go into effect in September 1955, the Association held its largest and most enthusiastic meeting on December 23, 1954 and made plains to enlist all alumni, working toward a bigger and stronger association.
