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.
