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. F. D. Moon, Principal
