ORANGE AND PURPLE Class Song COldGlory1 By PAUL RONEY We're a class of Seniors gay, And we're not afraid of work, Toil and task will us not dismay, For we're never known to shirk. Cho.-Oh, Danville, High thy precepts dear In memory we will store, Tho' scattered now both far and near Will think of thee evermore, All hail! All hail! All hail! We need no longer wait, Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah Farewell dear friends and teachers true, Tis the time to graduate. Freshmen fresh, Sophomores soft, Once as silly Juniors we bowed, But now all who pass, their hats must doff, For we are the Seniors proud. So we've studied hard to see How much knowledge we could obtain, Hist'ry, English, Latin, Chemistry, Have been conquered with might and main. Happy school days now are o'er, Problems solved and labor done, School-day joys and cares will be no more, And our Iife's great battle begun. Sailing on Time's mighty stream, Steering for the far-off shore, May the thoughts of Danville High School gleam To guide us safely o'er.

22 ORANGE AND PURPLE but owing to wars being declared, these projects were abandoned, to- gether with the regular commencement, which has been reduced to very simple form. This has been a great disappointment to us and will al- ways be regretted. During our four years we have furnished many fine athletes to our Alma Mater. Members of our class have always been on the baseball and basket-ball teams. In our Junior year, we again won first prize in the indoor meet. The success of our Athletic Association this year is largely due to the efforts of manager, Jack Gross, who secured a fine basketball- schedule and put the Association on a firm financial basis. It is to be hoped the Athletic Association will continue to be self-supporting. In addition to baseball and basketball, a bowling team was started this year, as a new project. The team, composed mostly of members of the Senior class, was entered in the town series, and as a reward of much practice, won the third series. The games were rolled on the Y. M. C. A. alleys. Along literary lines we have not been a failure, 13 of our number being on the staff of the Orange and Purple. The Orange and Purple had been at rest for a period of 3 years, and was revived by the class of '15, However, ,the paper was not put in cir- culation, but was merely read at each literary meeting. It remained for the class of '17 to put the paper into print and manage it successfully. Six issues were printed, and more than 200 copies were disposed of at each issue. As the results of our efforts, over 340.00 remains in the deserved success, as was ours. We, as D. H. S. Seniors, look forward to receiving our diplomas as the reward for our diligence. Having sur- mounted the High School Hill, we look eagerly upward at the lofty pinnacle of the World Mountain, and resolve with grim determination to do our best to reach its summit and attain success.

ORANGE AND PURPLE Class Poem By RUTH WINGERT Susquehanna's shores are noted, For their hills and forest scenes, Meadows green and valleys fertile, Glittering in the sun's warm beams. Danville, proud in all its glory, Stately, stands along these shores, Happy homes are closely nestled, Em'nent for their open doors. Danville High School we acknowledge As our Alma Mater dear, Students coming, students leaving, All are welcomed with good cheer. When as Freshman once we entered, Five and sixty we were strong, Gleeful, blithe, and jovial students, Such a gay and happy throng. Then, next year with higher spirits, Like the little birdlet soars, Heedless of dire warnings given- We were then the Sophomores.
