In Years Gone By . . . In 1951 William E. Reynolds graduated from Dupo High School. After college and a stint in the Air Force he returned to Dupo and by 1961 was teaching Industrial Arts and junior high science. He continued to teach in 1971 and had become junior high principal. Mr. Reynolds, now in 1981, is principal of D.C.H.S. 1951 was also the year in which Patrick Mudd graduated from Dupo High. He began teaching at D.C.H.S. immediately after college. He taught history until he became Superintendent of District 196 in the late 1960’s. These two men have many years invested in the development of Dupo High. Dupo Community High School was begun in 1915. The entire enrollment at this time consisted of only fourteen students. In 1931 Dupo High School received the All-Conference trophies in football, baseball, and track. The enrollment was a whopping 200 students. The year 1941 brought with it a bond and building issue to have a new gymnasium added on to the school. By popular demand of the students, the first Coca-cola machine was installed through the efforts of Student Council. In 1951 the fun-loving, fiscally responsible Patrick Mudd, and the sweet, adorable William Reynolds graduated from D.C.H.S. Mr. Reynolds was class vice-president and was known as the “blushing, blue-eyed blond.” Mr. Mudd was quoted, “He was ready, willing, and able ... when it came to football.” Twenty-one teachers, and a mind-boggling four hundred students composed Dupo High School in the year 1961. That same year brought the addition of the Junior High building. In 1971 beautiful shrubbery graced the high school campus, and mini-skirts were the trend in the hallways. Kim Kelly, who presently teaches at D.C.H.S., was a member of the freshman math team. Mike Ferry was named a National Merit Scholarship winner. The enrollment in 1981 is 454. Dupo High was visited by the North Central Evaluation Team who agreed that for the age of the school it is in excellent condition. Sports saw the addition of new lights for the football field and a new synthetic track. Nobody will ever forget the musical, “The Sound of Music,” which was said to be one of the best ever. 2
