To name only a few, they include the Citizens Action Committee, the Superintendent of Schools and his staff, the Oklahoma City Board of Education, the faculty and stu- dents of Douglass High School, our patrons and friends, and, most of all, the Five Thousand Persons who signed the petition in 1951 demanding that Douglass be included in the 1951 bond issue in the amount of One- Million-Five-Hundred-Thousand Dollars. The Citizens Action Committee, in cooperation with all the agencies already mentioned, spearheaded the final bond issue of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars. Almost One Million Dollars from the one-mill building levy did the rest, financially, in mak- ing the DREAM come true. V' This annual, taking note of a significant achievement in the history of education here, marks the beginning of a new era in secondary edu- cation among Negroes, and perhaps for all nationalities, in Oklahoma City. All of us who make up the membership of the Douglass Family, both staff and students, are conscious of the new and larger challenge. With God's help, we shall labor constantly to meet the challenge by carrying on a program of education befitting the last half of the Twentieth Century, irrespective of race, creed or color. This ANNUAL represents the labor of our Student Council, under the faithful direction of its sponsors, Mrs. Goldie Moore and Mrs. Dorothy Burnett. Induced by the initiative of these sponsors and the Student Coun- cil, joined by the class of 1955 and the rest of our Douglass Family, we present to you A DREAM COME TRUE marking another milestone in the evolution of human freedom.

CITIZENS' ACTION COMMITTEE A T f'- CITIZENS' ACTION COMMITTEE The Citizens' Action Committee, composed of representatives from many different organizations, has rendered great and unselfish service in fighting to secure the new Douglass High School. The Committee attracted public attention in 1951 when it fought so effectively to get the separate schools a share of the bond issue being voted upon that year in the amount of One-Million-Five-Hundred-Thousand-Dollars. In this fight, many mem- bers of the group suffered humiliation from those who were determined that the separate schools not be included in the bond issue for any amount. The greatest humiliation came from the county commissioners of that time. tl-Iappily, all of these men are now out of officel. In spite of strong opposition, the Citizens' Action Committee, aided by a petition bearing almost five thousand signatures, secured our inclusion in the bond election of 1951 in the amount of Nine-Hundred-Thousand-Dollars. The Citizens' Action Committee spearheaded the campaign again in 1953 and secured another Nine-Hundred-Thousand-Dollar bond issue for the separate schools of Oklahoma City. The faithful leaders constituting the membership of the Citizens' Action Committee and the fine organiza- tions which they represent are due the everlasting gratitude of this com- munity. They have won their spurs! Let them wear them as crusaders in a great achievement. Up to the present, the New Douglass High School has cost more than TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! The Citizens' Action Committee is a symbol of what can be done when people of goodwill work TOGETHER.

During this time she has seen much growth and development in phy- sical plants, in curricula, and in teacher train- ing. She has been able to realize her dream of teaching in the new,Douglass Senior High School. Mrs. Robinson received her undergraduate training in Scotia-Barbara College at Con- cord, North Carolinag Emporia Teachers' Col- lege at Emporia, Kansas and Langston Uni- versity, earning the B.S. degree at the last named institution.

The last seventeen years of her career have been done in the field of social science. When asked for her philosophy of life, Mrs. Robin- son gave this reply: When an individual be- comes self-satisfied with his knowledge, learning ceases and growth is blocked. Growth is fundamental for good teaching. Mrs. Robinson's plans for the future in- clude the growth she mentioned, for she plans to do the traveling she has looked forward to for so long. As she goes out to continue her very interesting life, we of Douglass say, Bon Voyage. IN MEMORIAM ETA SIGMA CHAPTER of Ze To the Memory of our Beloved Soror The Late CARRIE L.

The Council was host to the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils in December, at which time Wayne Cogburn was elected state president. In March the Council entertained the County Teen Age Safety Council. Wayne Cog- burn was elected vice-chairman and Marilyn Arnold, historian. Other projects of the year were the Christmas Candlelight Service, Semester Capers, sale of Valentine telegrams, sponsorship of the Langston A Cappella Singers in concert, and the annual faculty dinner.
