T ' 9 .fl 1 at 'X lil MY N-1 DEDICATION The seniors of 1958 dedicate this edition of the Commodore to Mr. D. R. Douglass, who has been prin- cipal of Perry High School tor eleven years. Except for tour years during which he served in the Army, Mr. Douglass has been at Perry since 1925. He began his career here as a teacher of mathematics, a year later he was promoted to the position of vice-principal, and in 1947 he became principal. During this time he has seen about sixty graduating classes. Mr. Douglass is most proud ofthe success of many Perry alumni and holds pleasant memories of his association with Perry teachers. With the departure cf the 1958 graduates, Perry High School will lose its beloved principal, since Mr. Douglass will retire in June. The faculty and stu- dents of Perry will long remember Mr. Douglass 'for the many improvements he made in Perry and, most of all, for his understanding of students and their problems. In commenting cn the role of the secondary schools in preparing students for the new world of the Space Age, Mr. Douglass says: With the increasing complexity of our civilization, the high schools will become of greater importance in preparing cur young people for their part in this 'brave new world.' Not only have mathematics and science become more im- portant for some, but the humanities cannot be neg- lected if we are to keep a proper balance. . . . and gladly would he learn and gladly teach 9
Mr. D. R. Douglass, principal office staff Mr. Sutherland comments: The impact of the new Space Age upon our secondary schools causes our eight million young people now enrolled to take a critical look at their future and to make their election of subjects more carefully. Our young people will find that more basic knowledge in the fields of humanities, mathematics, science, and engineering are essential to cope ade- quately with the changing world. Dili- gent pursuit of these basic subjects will give, I believe, sulficient training in the research methods and creative thinking necessary for us to survive as a nation. The American secondary schools have in the past supplied the educa- tional needs of cur young people. They will continue to give both depth and breadth of education to meet the needs cf youth preparing for life in the new Space Age. The wise selection of subject matter and the change of em- phasis therein will enable us to adjust to these new and changing conditions now confronting us, Elizabeth Rathgeber head clerk Lucille Thackeray clerk Bertha Krikston bookroom clerk Margaret Williams library clerk Evangeline Brown dietitian i0
