Douglass: Class of ’15 brave cold for barbeque

By DaJuan Webster Staff Writer

Can you smell what the Class of 2015 is cookin’?

Douglass seniors, undaunted by the 37 degree temperature, boarded a bus to Belle Isle for the annual Senior Barbeque on April 24.

“I think it was a fantastic success, despite the frigid cold. I loved parading around Mr. Collins around the grill for warmth,” said Amanda Morris, Douglass teacher and senior sponsor.

The students, however, were focused on the food and games.

“The food was good, and we had fun playing roof tips and basketball, even though we lost,” said Douglass senior Kaleel Morris.

Seniors played three games of basketball, five games of roof tips, and a 3- minute game of catch while waiting for the burgers, hotdogs, and chicken to be served. Some students were given the option to bring their own food to put on the grill.

“I’m a steak man. I brought my own groceries to make sure I was well fed,” said Douglass senior Kaleb Oates.
