The senior year’s a short one And soon ours will be through We’ll go out into the world To start our lives anew. Some may go east, others west To seek and make a home. A few may go north or perhaps south While some may choose to roam. But as we seek our places Be it in failure or success. We shall cherish always Fend memories of D. H. S. —Lowell Keely SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago in September we, the class of ’36, entered Douglass High School as freshmen. The class consisted of fifty-two members. Miss Nelle Oldham was our sponsor. We chose for our officers; Glen Lee, president; Frank Eaton, vice president; Mildred Martin, secretary-treasurer; and Jack Wheeler, sergeant-at-arms. A year passed and we entered the second year of our high school career. Miss Faye Dennis then took the responsibility of guiding us through our sophomore and junior years. There were 48 members in our class in ’34 and ’35. The officers were Frank Ea.ton, president; Eugene Maxwell, vice president; Jack Wheeler, secretary-treasurer; and Max Strode, sergeant-at-arms. Throughout our junior year we took an active pant in music and athletics. We bought our rings this year. The class had an enrollment of forty. Junior class officers were Eugene Maxwell, president; Frank Eaton, vice president; Mildred Martin, secretary-treasurer; and Max Strode, sergeant-at-arms. We successfully presented the play, “Blue Bag,” and with the proceeds entertained the seniors of ’35 with a banquet. On May 17, we participated in another field day and the class of ’35 which had been our best loved classmates graduated. We enrolled as seniors in September ’35 with thirty-five in the class. Much to our great joy Miss Gladys Harter was to De our sponsor during our last year in D. H. S. With a display of our dramatic ability we presented “Mountain Mumps,” and had active parts in the one-act plays and G. R.—Hi-Y play. We won the interclass track meet held in March. T’re class of ’37 entertained us with a banquet at the Legion Hall. The theme of the banquet was based on activities found in a newspaper office. During our senior year we were active in music. Several students won scholastic honors and athletic awards. Class night was held May 5, and Commencement, May 12. And in May thirty-four members of the class of ’36 graduated from old D. H.

We, the class as a whole, bequeath our plaque to Douglass High School to be cared for and cherished as we have cared for and cherished it.

To Mr. Cromer we leave all the knowledge he may glean from the t! ernes he took such delight in having us write.

SKINNEM SENIOR CLASS SONG The time has come to sing our parting song To D. H. S., the school we’ve loved so long; We are the grand old class of thirty-six, The swellest class that ever got itself into a fix. And then would fight its own way out And be the winner yet without a doubt. It is to you we sing our last good-bye, Our dear old Douglass High. We’re going to live our motto every day, For to “Be Square” is just the only way To be successful in this opening world, That we are entering with all our flags unfurled. And eyes trained on the sky for Douglass High, The school we’ve loved so well in times gone by, The school we’d give our all without a sigh, Good-bve, old Douglass High. —Mildred Martin.

Our sponsor during the freshman year was Mr. Pease. Even though this was our first year in high school, we took active parts in all athletics. One boy received a basketball letter. Several of our members are in the Glee Clubs and Orchestra, Our dramatic ability was displayed in the fact that we placed second in the inter-class play contest. We presented “Elmer.” Also several members of the class were in the group of one-act plays given earlier in the year. A large per cent of the class belongs to and took active parts in the Hi-Y and G. R. organizations. Delegates from our freshman class were sent to the state G. R. and Hi-Y conferences. We had two parties this year, and with our guests, had a very enjoyable time. This is our first year in D. H. S., but we look forward to three more profitable years here. —A. Maxwell.

In spite of the fact that the basketball team was losing, the wrestlers kept the winning spirit and when represented at the State Meet by five boys, they placed fifth in the meet. Douglass is handicapped by having to compete with schools such as Wichita North, Blackwell, Newkirk, Hutchinson, and Wellington, nevertheless our opponents scored only 26 more points than we did. Those letteiing in wrestling were: Alvin Lacey, Junior Price, Jack Wheeler, Tom Darter, Frank Schooling, Lowell Keely, and Harry Whaley. Alvin Lacey and Tom Darter were chosen captain and co-captain for the r.ext wrestling season. Several other boys were out for wrestling this year but competition was too keen for them to earn letters. However they have gained experience which makes the prospects for next year’s team good. Some of these were: Floyd Banfill, Viron Wheeler, Milton Redford, Richard Taylor, Charles and Harold Wiseman, and Chester Walker. BASKET BALL The Douglass Bulldog did not fare so well in basketball this year. This beirg the second year of basketball in D. H. S. for a number of years, the team made a poor showing.

Field Day gives the students good, clean sport and every participant looks forward to it. Four years ago the Hi-Y Club, sponsored by Mr. Newton, made Field Day one of its snnual projects and has continued it ever since.
