D. H. s. 4 Orange and Purple an 1 9 2 8 11 Editorial Our High School days have terminated, as is customary with grad- uation.

How can we be joyous when we are conscious of the fact that those sacred ties are about to be sev- ered forever? It is with a feeling of sadness mingled with joy that we close the first chapter of that great book of Life and eagerly wait to turn the page and glimpse into the second. Who knows what the

CHORUS: Dear Danville High, we are leaving you, And we're leaving you ne'er to return. Dear Danville High, we are leaving you Some more of life's lessons to learn. We have been here only four short years- They have seemed to us just a day, But the mem'ry will linger as time goes on While we travel along life's highway. We are standing on life's threshold, The dawn of another dayg Days at High School have passed on forever And we journey along our way. We shall go forth, with efforts unfailing, To the task that before us falls, But, dear High School, we always will love you Where the voice of the wide world calls.

Some may return to harbor safely-others may be wrecked by stronger forces. If we have faithfully lived up to our motto, Labor Omnia Vincet, we may feel safe in saying that few of the little ships will be lost. If each little one is prepared to overcome the obstacles which it is bound to encounter on the sea of Life, what can change its course? We realize many will be encountered, but four years in Danville High has taught us how to overcome them. Our days in Danville High leave pleasant memories and wherever the future finds us D. H.
