The following is a continuation and
conclusion of the account of the re
ception given at the Doucoff several
nights ago at which the teachers of
the Douglas Public schools gathered

papers were a part of the program

follow:

It is quite generally recognized that the automobile
dealer today must do far more than merely sell cars if he
is to fully meet his responsibility to the man who buys a
car. Today people buy automotive transportation rather
than a car. They buy adequate local responsibility for
that car as well as the manufacturer’s guarantee. They
buy accessibility of low-cost, efficient service, parts, ac
cessories and supplies. All these they buy when they buy
a car.
How many of these values, ami how much of one or all
of them the car buyer gets, rests squarely upon the kind
of a dealer from whom he buys the car.

THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DO UGLAS, GEORGIA, JUNE 4, 1926.
DOUGLAS HI SCHOOL FACULTY
TWENTY YEARS FROM TO-DAY
By Marie Wooten
When I first realized that it was
my duty, not to mention honor, to
delve into the future of the faculty of
’26, as did Spencer ask, Who can turn
the streams of destiny?” But while
I was debating I was besieged by the
most fanciful derans, I first consider
ed myself entangled in the concerns
of Fairyland, finally the screen clear
ed and there appeared before me a
table, round and golden, and the
dreamer that was I, could tell the play
was ready to start and “by their
voices ye shall know them”.
First enters, Zeta Burton saying: “I
am a married woman, but one thing
surely, I don’t stay at home all the
time, my husband “Bruce” and I do
everything on a 50-50 basis; half the
time I assume the responsibility and
the other half he assumes it. He
knows what to do as well as I if the
cook fails to come. I have so much
public work as president of the Doug
las Womans Club, I find very h'rtle
time to stay at home,” I know a wo
man can do public work and still have
a happy home, I’ve really found ■‘be
ideal way.
Then Lizzie Mae Pcid began: After
leaving the Douglas High School fac
ulty I went to New York and there I
got my inspiration. Now I go from
place to place over the U. S. and from
my private car I give lectures, my
specialty is helping teachers solve
problems and I find that my .psycho
logy acquired at summer school in ’25
is a great help to me.
I was not surprised when Lola Mae
McLean said, “I want to tell you how
I felt the day I was told that I had
really been elected as a member of
congress. Although I knew I had
numerous supporters, I was overcome
when I realized what had happened.
Somehow we had never thought
Miss Thornton would marry a preach
er and we were surprised no little
When she said, “Two years after I left
Douglas I married a Methodist preach
er, so you know I’ve spent a great
deal of my time moving from place to
place.
Miss Miller says if you want to
know what I’ve been doing look in the
Vogue for I am one of the designers
of this book, six months of every year
I stay in Paris studying, the other
six I spend in New York designing.
Ever since I left the Douglas High
school Miss Hall states, “I have been
interior decorator, of course the first
few years were spent in New York
studying. Margaret Roberts and I
were together while we studied and
when she learned to decorate a house
large enough for she and Albert, she
left me, asd now if any of you would
left me, and now if any of you would
attractive I will be glad to serve any
member of ’26 faculty free of charge.
You every one know, says Mrs. Mel
vin Tanner, that no change has come
to me, I am still teaching Ist grade
in Douglas, but Mr. Tanner and I are
leaving immediately to visit Virginia
who has established a school for girls
“on the Hudson.” The name of her
school is “Virginia Tanner’s Academy
of Dramatic Arts and Violin”.
Mrs. Baird rises and tells this, “I
have done work all over the town of
Douglas, if you would like to see
something of what I have done, come
with me, up on Gaskin Ave. There’s
Francis Stubbs’ home, R. B. Evans
home, McEachren’s and this magnifi
cent Doucoff Hotel. I am now mak
ihg plans of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
Griffin’s bungalow. Only a year ago
Bilious
dull feeling
“]VTY old stand-by is Thedford’s
Black-Draught—l have used
it off and on for about 20 years,”
says Mr. W. •S. Reynolds, of
R. F. D. 2, Arcadia, La.
“I get bilious and have a bad
taste in my mouth. My head
feels dull. I don’t just feel like
getting around and doing my
work. I know it isn’t laziness,
but biliousness.
“So I take a few doses of Black-
Draught and when it acts well, I
get up feeling like new—‘full of
pep’ and ready for any kind of
work.
“I can certainly recommend it.”
In case of biliousness and other
disagreeable conditions due to
an inactive liver, Black-Draught
helps to drive the poisonous im
purities out of the system and
tends to leave the organs in a
state of normal, healthy activity.
Black-Draught is made entirely
of pure medicinal roots and herbs
and contains no dangerous or
harmful mineral drugs. It c«n
be safely taken by everyone.
Sold everywhere. Price 25c.
I started plans for a bridge across the
Atlantic ocean and there is no doubt
it will be perfectly practical and suc
cessful. I will make plans for your
homes if you’ll call at my office, which
is in the Lankford Building.”
Now enters Ruby Grubbs clad in the
Western horsewoman habit, she comes
from hejr own ranch near El Paso, say
ing I invite each member of the facili
ty to clad yourselves in a riding
habit and come with me to my ranch.
Here cames a familiar looking
member, black hair, wee in size but
capable. Why, it’s Nora, “Yes its
Nora, I married the Minister to Bel
gium from the U. S. and I am the able
assistant to Princess Marie in her
work to introduce American educa
tional ideas into the Belgium schools.
Now rising from a rustic bench in
officers quarters near the city of New
York is Miss Weir, who says I planned
to be an English and History teacher
in my home town and you see I am a
Knickerbocker girl in the police corps
of New York.
Today there is no one who will not
admit that a woman is better fitted
to be president of a bank than a man,
began Miss Holland and in 1930 I
was appointed president of the Union
Banking Co., in 1935 president of the
Citizens Southern Bank and now I am
president of the Federal Reserve Bank
in Atlanta.
Says Margaret, I always thought
that the best thing that could happen
to a girl would be to get married, I
married in ’26 and I have changed my
mind. As a side line I write for the
Progress.

The Studebaker Standard Six Coach (Unit-Built) is priced
so low ($1195), because engine, body and other vital parts
are built by Studebaker on a One-Profit basis
THAT’S why Studebaker cars today
represent the soundest automobile
investment on the market. The illus
tration shows how One-Profit goes to
the very basis of economical motor-car
manufacture. These important One-
Profit savings are possible only because
Studebaker has more than $100,000,000
in net assets concentrated on the eco
nomical production of quality cars.
World’s Most Powerful Car
of its Size and Weight
Based on the rating of the N. A. C. C.
and the Society of Automotive Engineers,
the Studebaker Standard Six is the world’s
most powerful car of its size and weight
The most popular car in the Standard Six
line is the Coach which at $1195 is the
lowest priced enclosed car ever offered by
Studebaker.
It has much more room than the average
coach. It seats five passengers in real com
fort —with ample leg and head room—with
j room to enter or leave without disturbing

It came Mrs. Thrasher’s turn,
“Somehow I never thought of being
a librarian, but that is what I am, I
am librarian in the Carnegie Library
and have the privilege of studying peo
pie by the books they read, next month
I will be put in charge of the libraries
of the Southern States and I’ll spend
my time going from one city to an
other.
Then Miss Betts began, “Before
many a bench I have stood and many
a Judge I have faced and many a
case I won, my specialty is di
vorce cases. Office hours 9:30 to 3:00.
My office is 3rd floor Lankfrod Bldg
Phone No. 363 5-rings.
Mr. Herndon rising very slowly
says “I am the only member besides
Mrs. Melvin Tanner who has remained
with the Douglas High School these
20 years. I am still popular among
the primary teachers with the use of
a switch”.
Now comes Mary with all her
musical talent, saying, after leaving
Douglas I studied for three years in
Germany and after a brief sojourn in
Italy, France and Switzerland, I am
teaching piano and pipe brgan in the
Atlanta Conservatory of Music.
Now rises a man in recognition of
unceasing energy and never failing
interest and we know it to be our dear
Mr. Henry, Supt. of ’26. Throughout
the years spent with him in the Doug
las High School we received inspira
tor, from his very consecration to
God and his high ideals of duty, he
has endeared himself to the heart of
every member of his faculty and he

In the Standard Six Coach we use northern
