R. McGregor. The first graduating class, numbering iive, was composed of the following members: Mr. Collie Johnson, living in Colorado; Mrs. Etta Barnes, living in Salt Lake City, Utah; Mr. Byron Butler; Mrs. Dora Jones, deceased, and Mrs. Florence (Hill) Welwood, living in Douglass. Douglass High School, up to the present time has been under the direction of the following superintendents: J. R. McGregor, J. W. Shively, W. J. Speer, J. H. Gibson, Ralph Felton, Mr. Martin, Mr. Bruton, C. W. Thomas, H. I. French, J. E. Cook, W. J. Poundstone and C. E. Muchmore. In 1882 the Faculty consisted of one person, the Superintendent, or the Principal, as he was then called. Today, our Faculty numbers four. We do not know the enrollment the first year, but it was comparatively small, and especially small when compared with that of this year, which totals ninety-four. Since 1903 there have been eighty-four persons graduated from Douglass High School. Under Prof. J. E. Cook we became an accredited High School; under Prof. W. J. Pound-stone, we rose to a high pinnacle of efficiency in track, basket ball, baseball, declamation, debate, oration and above all in our school work; and under Prof. Muchmore, we are still climbing upward at a rapid rate. In 1913-14, we were one of the only two schools in Butler County that were fully accredited by the state, i. e., every member of our Faculty held a state certificate. We still have the same standard of efficiency in our Faculty. In 1912 we began to need a new school building very badly. The people of the district responded to our call and as a result of the efficient leadership of the Board of Education, we now have a large, roomy, and convenient structure for our use. The policy of the Board of Education toward the Douglass schools has been a progressive one. During the past few years, new courses and new equipment have been added as needed until we can now offer a variety of courses with an assurance of efficient work in each. Next year a course in Domestic Science will be added which will be of great benefit. It is true that we are small, but we are glad to admit it, for we believe that the comparatively small school is the place to get high school work in the most efficient manner. In proof of this assertion, we refer you to the accomplishments recorded in this book, many others that were not recorded, and finally to the wide reputation of the school for the loyalty, cooperation, and progressive spirit of the student body. 6 ___________________Purple and Gold Board of tducation 1913-14 5.

Purple and Gold 13 History of Class of 1914 In the fall of 1901, a wee little tot wended his way schoolward for the first time, forming the neucleus of the now large and powerful class of 1914. As time slips swiftly by, this same person, with twenty-two others may be seen completing the work in the grades and entering upon the activities of Freshmen. We admit that we were a green looking bunch, but it must he conceded that we were one of the liveliest and most aggressive classes in high school. Our colors were up first and last, and in class scraps we were usually on top. The time spent during our Freshmen and Sophomore years was merely an era of preparation—“a calm before the storm.” During our Junior year we began to emerge from the traditional obscurity of first and second years and to approach the grand climax of our school career. From this time on, the silent forces which had been slowly gathering began to manifest themselves more and more strongly until they have culminated in our present great accomplishments. In many ways the class of 1914 has been the strongest one in the history of Douglass High School. We believe that we have broken all records here, not only in numbers, but in intellectual ability and achievement. In a class of twenty, we have twelve boys and eight girls, a fact which is in itself peculiar and unusual. Our attainments in an intellectual way are at once marvelous and startling and especially so when it is observed that these were, for the most part, accomplished during the past two years. In declamation, Florence Berger won first place at Southwestern in 1913. The same year Marjorie Welwood won first place in the Butler County contest. This year May Louis won first place in one of the local contests and Julia Cramer will represent us at Southwestern. In debate we are pre-eminent, for every member of the debate squad was a Senior. In oration we are again predominant. For the past two years we have supplied I). H. S. with all of her orators. Last year Raymond Ogg won second place at Fairmount and our representatives this year are expected to win us further honor. Our class play, “A Crazy Idea,” was pronounced by some to be not only the best class play, but the best home talent production ever staged in Douglass. In proof of this it was played two evenings with large and appreciative audiences at both occasions. In addition to these and many other accomplishments, we have published the first high school paper and have made it self-supporting. The High School Reporter has become a necessity to the students, patrons and friends of Douglass High School and wields an influence that will not soon be forgotten. And not content with this we have published this volume, the First Annual of Douglass High School. As we review these past achievements and as we ponder over the four wonderful years just flitted by, oh, so swiftly, we are thrilled with the knowledge that we were privileged to attend a school like D. H. S., of being able to call it Our Alma Mater. But coincident with this thrill of joy comes a pang of regret that we will no longer be one of its integral parts, will not longer be a vital, living force struggling under its banner. Nevertheless, as we go forth—some to college to win greater honors in their school career, others to launch out immediately into the stern battles of life—it is with the firm determination of winning the much sought, but rarely found goal of success, and thereby perpetuate the name of our beloved D. H. S. Accordingly in the words of our motto: “We finish, to begin.” A CRAZY IDEA i Act act THE CAST � Purple and Gold Purple and Gold_________________________ 15 “A Crazy Idea” Cast of Characters James Stone ......................................

In May, 1911, Prof. Pound-stone presented diplomas to twenty-one promising young people, thus giving us our tickets to high school. We entered upon our work as Freshmen with a determination to succeed, and this idea has been ever present since that time. Although treated kindly during our Freshman year, we did not realize it at that time. But as the years have gone by and we have witnessed the awful persecutions inflicted upon the poor Freshies, we are truly grateful that we were dealt with so leniently. Although the Class of ’15 has perhaps not been quite so prominent as some others, yet it is not a mediocre one. In 1912 Nellie McMahan won first place in the local contest and first place in the Butler County contest. She also won a good place at the A. V. I. M. at Wichita the same year. This year she again won the local contest and will probably be victorious again. Our track team made an excellent showing in the inter-class track meet, and succeeded in carrying off the honors for the relay race. We were well represented in the Butler County meet, also. For several years our baseball team has held the inter-class championship. We have been at the top in all class scraps and have always been the best liked class in school. Accordingly, since we believe that “Success crowns true effort,” we are expecting to accomplish much during these last two years of our High School career. We hope to keep the “Black and Gold,” the most respected colors of D. H. S. and to demonstrate that our motto “Quality, not quantity,” is a very appropriate one. Purple and Gold 19 Sophomores COLORS: Red and Black. Officers Ima Eckle — ........... ............ ..........President Charles Stewart....................Secretary-Treasurer Class History We, the Sophomores, are extremely modest and averse to boasting. Nevertheless, we can truthfully say that we were the largest Freshman class D. H. S. has ever known up until that time, for there were thirty-three answering to the call of Freshies. This year we lost some of our members, yet in the development of the intellectual faculties, we progressed so rapidly that our increase in quality more than counteracted the loss in quantity. Our superiority was shown by Vera Dailey winning first place in the local declamatory contest, by the excellent showing made by our boys in track, and finally, by the success of the entire class in running the gauntlet of exams and obtaining the degree of Sophomore. As Sophomores we started the year 1913 in the new building with thirty-one industrious members and with the determination to accomplish even more than we had the previous year. This spirit first brought forth fruit when our boys succeeded in winning the inter-class track meet. We have the honor of saying that the star athlete of D. H. S., George Epperson, is a Sophomore. Almost one-half of the high school chorus is made up of Sophomores. We Were also represented by four excellent declaimers in the local tryout before the Burns-Douglass contest, all of whom made a good showing. In basket ball, we have the star center, Howard Holmes. Our future is bright and promising and all indications show that we will be the largest and most accomplished Senior Class that ever graduated from our beloved High School. Watch, ye unbelievers and pessimists! Watch the Red and Black climb daringly up the long ladder to success. 20 Purple and Gold (Left to right) First Row—Helen Edelman, Lorena Helphrey, Minnie Holden, Inez Warner, June Owen, Ima Eckel.

We graduated from the grades with a total membership of twenty-nine and entered High School with a roll call of thirty-six, the largest class in the history of Douglass High School. In Athletics, we are by no means backward. For the last two years, one of our number has been on the track team of the victorious Purple and Gold. In the Butler County Track Meet of 1913, we won as many points for D. H. S. as any of the present classes. We had two players on the baseball team and we have some fine basket ball material which will eventually be developed. As we are launching out upon our High School career, we carry with us the determination to conquer, to make records that will never be forgotten, and to make D. H. S. the best High School in Kansas. r j (Left to right) First Row—Ina Paisley, Zada Cramer, Clara Cousins, Mary Brewer, Gladys Woody, Ava Smith, Gertie Richardson, Viola Holcomb, Ethel Lewis, Rosa Way mire.

J. Poundstone and others, a league of Butler County High Schools was formed. This organiza-tion, called the Butler County High School League, has the following members: Douglass, ElDorado, Rose Hill, Augusta, Latham, Leon, and Whitewater. The purpose of the league is to promote the athletic and literary ability of the schools included. This league has been of inestimable value for the interest it has stirred up in athletics and literary work all over the County. The Annual Meet consists in a track meet in the afternoon and in the evening contests in declamation, oratory, and debate. The literary contests have been excellent and the entries have displayed splendid talent. The track meets have been among the fastest in this section of the country. The records are as follows: 100 Yd. Dash, 10 2-5, Dimond, Douglass, 1914. Pole Vault, 9 ft. 9 in., Rayburn, El Dorado, 1914. 440 Yd. Dash, 55 1-5 sec., Patterson, Augusta, 1913.

They finished with a record of five games won and three lost. Personnel Howard H.—“Let me give you a tip,” the favorite epitome of our human obelisk. And he did. “Snac,” sometimes known as Howard, not only out-tipped, but out-pointed his opponent in practically every game. Sophomore. Raymond H.—“Hokie’s” favorite style of play is cateh-as-catch-can—after downing your man, the rest is easy. Hokie always annexed several baskets for his team. Favorite saying, “Oh, I hate you.” Senior. Leonard—Better known as “Gus.” He shoots goals mathematically. He plays a good, consistent game and aids a great deal by his “poultry” goals. Junior. Vocation, working mathematics. Avocation, teasing Nellie McM. Ray C.—Brother of Gus, played the fastest game of the court. He was like the proverbial Irishman’s flea. He often guarded both opponents when Claude decided to get a basket. Chief peculiarity, walking on his heels in the halls and on his toes on the court. Senior. Claude H.—Sings low and hits them in that locality also (see Howard Holmes for referee). Although troubled by Job’s affliction much of the season, he was always into the game. Senior. DeLoss 0.—Alias “Umphy.” Favorite song, “This Is No Place For a Minister’s Son!” But his actions belie his words, for DeLoss “sticketh closer than a brother” to his forward. Senior. Oad Essex—Middle name, “Skim.” Build, started out like Snac but got discouraged. Oad played a good game at forward, but too many social duties prevented his finishing the season. Gus and Oad should make a good duo for next year. Girls Basket Ball Simultaneously and co-incidently with the advent of Women Suffrage into Kansas, was the development of our Girls’ Basket Ball Team. Although still somewhat embryonic, all the earmarks of good players and a good team were shown. “Judge, oh ye, of little faith,” by the resultant standing at the season’s end.

Gibson, our local jeweler, offered a cup for the society winning two or more of three contests consisting in debate, declamation, and oration. The society winning the cup keeps it for one year. The society winning for three consecutive years keeps it permanently. The cup for this year was won by the Philomathean Society. Charles R. Gibson ■ Purple and Gold 37 ORGANIZATIONS Philomathean The Philomathean Literary Society was organized September 20, 1910, for the purpose of developing the minds and morals of its membership. From that time until the present it has been a prominent factor in making the life of D. H. S. interesting. The society is composed of members of both sexes, which of course, helps to make it more interesting. Its membership includes one-half the students of the high school, and three-fourths of the talent, brain, and brawn. This may be clearly shown by some of our records. Of the eight debates entered by the school since 1910, we have been represented in six. Of the five inter-scholastic representatives of D. H. S. in declamation, four have been Philomatheans, and the school has never been represented in the county contest in declamation by any other than a Philomathean. And the society is stronger this year than ever before. The Philomatheans furnish both of the representatives of D. H. S. in the .literary events of the county contest. Seven of the ten members of the track team, and five of the seven student members of the Male Octette are Philomatheans. The Gibson Cup Contest This year Mr. Gibson, our local joweler, proposed that he would give a silver loving cup to the society winning two or more events in an inter-society contest in Debate, Declamation and Oratory. Mr. Muchmore submitted the plan to the students one morning in chapel. The plan was adopted by the students at large, but the Philomatheans, with the true brotherly spirit, expressed their regret that there was not a cup for the other society, too. Notwithstanding the pleas of the Philomatheans, the die was cast, and their would-be rivals expected to win. The Philomatheans decided that a taste of victory might encourage them, and allowed them the debate. Let me here commend the Philomathean debaters for their magnanimity and generosity of spirit they showed in making themselves a living sacrifice to the cause of humanity. Lesser spirits than they would have broken down completely under the strain of having people laboring under the delusion that they were really beaten. But when it came to declamation and oratory, the reputation of the society was at stake, and we could not sacrifice these simply because of pity. We had already done our duty to humanity, and now we must do our duty to our Society. Only by winning both in oratory and declamation could we do this, so we annexed first place in each and now the cup bears the name of the Philomatheans. There are two more years to this contest, and although not much improvement is yet noticeable, we gather patience from the assurance that, “The mills of the gods grind slowly,” and that, with our encom'agement and the help of evolution, our patience may be rewarded by the knowledge that we have helped our weaker brother to mount the lower rungs of the ladder that leads to the pinnacle occupied by the Philomatheans. u oo (Reading from left to right) First Row—Orville Woody, Virgil Hall, Lysle Hiner, Howard Holmes, Morgan Bush, Walter Louis, Richard Mayer.

Its career has been one of remarkable growth and spectacular accomplishments. The most prominent men in the history of the school have been lx Ipsilons. Walter Stone, the best debater of his time in D. H. S., was our first President. Marshall Wilder, the star athlete of Southern Kansas, who twice won individual honors at the Butler County meet, at Southwestern, and at Fairmount, was an lx Ipsilon. This year, members of this society hold practically every important office in school. They are filling the most important places and are doing things for D. H. S. that will make history. The High School paper was started and placed on a firm foundation by a member of this society. The editor and business manager are both members of lx Ipsilon. The first annual of D. H. S. was launched forth by an lx Ipsilon, and the Purple and Gold is now in the hands of two lx Ipsilons—the Business Manager and Editor. In debate, we are beyond comparison. Three of the four members of this year’s debate squad were lx Ipsilons. In the local try-out they won places on the squad as follows: first, second, and fourth. In the inter-society debate which was limited to those below the Senior class, our team, under the efficient coaching of three noted debaters, won a decisive victory. In declamation, we are well represented. Last year, the only representative of D. H. S. that won first place was an lx Ipsilon. The Vice-president of. our society held the Butler County championship in declamation in 1913. In oratory, we predominate as usual. The only representative of D. H. S. in oratory that won a place last year, was an lx Ipsilon. Last year, three of the four orators of D. H. S. were lx Ipsilons. It was these three orators who represented D. H. S. in three different contests, one of them winning second place at the A. V. I. M. at Fair-mount. This year two of the three representatives of D. H. S. are lx Ipsilons. From the above statistics, and many others it can readily be seen that those who are the most progressive, those who are most prominent in school history, those who have done the most for D. H. S., are members of lx Ipsilon. The policy of lx Ipsilon has been to develop the literarv abilitv of its members, and thus prepare them to be fit representatives of I). H. S. This policy has been strictly adhered to, and has accordingly been productive of many good results as shown by the above records. The programs given from time to time are extremely interesting and of enormous value both to those participating and to those attending them. From the present outlook, it appears that lx Ipsilon is to retain her enviable prestige for some time. o (Reading from left to right) First Row—Judson Black, Robert Oliver, Robert Munroe, Lloyd Warner, Frank Fox, Leonard Cronk, Vernon Wallace, Verne Harter.

Purple and Gold 41 High School Christian Association txecutive Cabinet, 1914 Lysle Hiner, President; Herbert Frazier, Vice-President; Leonard Cronk, Treasurer; Raymond Ogg, Secretary. The High School Christian Association had its real beginning when several of the students conceived the idea of organizing a Y. M. C. A. on a small scale. The promoters found the students enthusiastic concerning the plan and a membership of about fifteen was soon secured. A constitution was drawn up and officers were elected. A temporary, but ample gymnasium has been fitted up in the basement of one of the churches until it is possible to move to the basement of the school building. It is also planned to establish a private library for the use of the membership and to hold weekly meetings, open to the public, in the High School Auditorium. The organization is governed by two bodies, the Executive Cabinet and the Advisory Cabinet. The Executive Cabinet consists of young men elected from the membership, while the Advisory Cabinet is composed of citizens of the community. This organization should be taken hold of by the students and should become a strong factor in training young men. It is to be hoped that this society, still in its infancy, will become sufficiently stable to become a regular Y. M. C. A.

The Octette deserves a great deal of praise and commendation for the work they have accomplished under the efficient management of Mr. Davis and Mrs. Mattie Ogg. 46 Purple and Gold Calendar, 1913-14 SEPTEMBER This month was characterized by the progressive spirit manifested by the students in planning to break all previous records for accomplishments. 8— First term begins.

A Senior’s Soliloquy May 1, 1914— I’ve found you again, Little Book, and, although you’re dusty and mouse-eaten, I’ll fulfill my promise, and tell you some of my feelings and the changes that have taken place since I put you on the shelf at the end of my Freshman year. They say that I’ve finished my High School Course. It is no matter to some what I’ve finished, but I know that I have begun in a life that stretches farther and farther away. I have realized, Little Book, that greater things than I exist. If I could have thrown my Algebra away in my Freshman year I -would have been happy. In the three following years, if Ceasar, Geometry, and Physics hadn’t made me open my eyes, it wouldn’t have been High School, or at least I wouldn’t be where 1 am now. I’ve had my troubles too, and I can well understand why they classed me an Irish Freshman. Now, Little Book, if you had come from the country to a town school with a green skirt, a red waist, and white shoes on, wouldn’t they have called yon an “Irish—most anything?” But, still that doesn’t matter if you face the world with just a little more knowledge. Little Book, if in your Sophomore year, you had gone to a party and used the wrong spoon, could you have stood it, if they had laughed? You could have, for I did. If in your Junior year, you had played hookey and broken your arm, would you have learned a lesson? In your Senior year you never go wrong. You are the one that the rest rely upon. You are a “stand patter” and you’ll do. Little Book, it doesn’t matter so much what you have done, it’s what you will do. And although I may never pick you up again I wish you luck. If you ever in future aspire to be a High School student, I wish you success. I may never be anything else but an “old maid teacher,” but I hope you’ll go on, Little Book, and be happy “ever afterwards.” Beulah Olmstead, ’14. |ygp Geo. R.

HOARD, Allebach President Drug Company The above picture, showing less than half of our yearly enrollment, proves that we are the largest business college in Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. Thirteen years ago, we started with six students, without a dollar of endowment, with no denomination or other organization supporting us. Today our annual enrollment of nearly eight hundred is considerably larger than most of the denominational colleges of the West. Why such growth? Because we offer practical instruction that not only insures mental development but excellent initial salaries and gratifying advancement. We have plans that enable every worthy young man and woman to enroll with us. Don’t you owe it to your future to at least investigate our proposition? Write now—right now. Will G.
