Douglass Class of '68's 2010 Reunion
The Douglass Class of 1968 held its annual Reunion on Saturday, September 4th, 2010 with their guests at the Golden Corral in Kingsport. It's becoming a tradition for this class, freshmen when Douglass closed as a school in 1966.
The freshmen went on to other schools, including Dobyns-Bennett, when Douglass integrated, but always consider themselves Douglass Tigers.
Along with a celebration cake, the Reunion gathering and guests featured stories and memories of going to Douglass School, and living in the Riverview neighborhood.
Below are pictures among the Class of 68's humble beginnings at the Douglass Elementary School in 1958 (Second Grade), and then, their freshmen class pictures from 1965.
