Thou shalt not chew gum in classes if thou canst not get away with it. 2. Six cigarettes a day shalt thou smoke and giveth thou the re- maining ones to the Day brothers. 3. Thou shalt not roll the galloping ivories lest Pink shalt win all thy money. Al. Thou shalt not copy from thy neighbor's paper, thy book is safer. 5. Thou shalt not use the name of Shakespeare in vain, or Mrs. Hill will ilunk thee. G. Thou shalt not put other things before thy studies, for thy teacher is a hard teacher and it peeveth her for thou to come to class un- prepared. 7. Thou shalt not use vile names liken unto Julian Meade and Hin- ton Gwynn, lest thy school shalt rise against thee. S. Thou shall: not put thine own guilt on thy neighbor. 9. Thou shalt not covet thy pal's Ford, nor his girl, nor his sta' comb, nor his good fortune in evading punishment. 10. Study with all thy zeal lest thy days Look here be prolonged. --B. E. Hessberg.

A RESUME OF 1925 SEASON OF FOOTBALL Facing a hard schedule, the 1925 football season was opened on Sep- tember twelfth with the initial prac- tice on the North Danville fleld. Coach Lefty Wilson was in charge for the second year, with Coach Keck assisting him. The squad was not very large, since a few more than twenty-five reported for prac- tice. Ten of last yeur's letter men were numbered among the squad and a good many scrubs from last year re- ported. The playing season opened when the Chatham team came to Danville. Both teams were handicapped by a muddy field. The Chatham team put. up a good fight, but were defeated 24-0. Kerr Farley made the first touchdown of the season. On the following Saturday the Red and Grey crushed the Reidsville team by the score ofsa-o. The msc team ran up the score and many substitu- tions were made. The visitors put up a determined fight, but were able to register only two first downs. October tenth found the Red and Grey team in Leaksville. There they suffered the first defeat of the sea- son, 7-6. Thegame was a fight from start to Hnish. The Danville team put up a better game than the score indicates. The Danville team won their third victory when they defeated Alta- vista here by the score of 10-6. Danville sulfercd the worst defeat of the season at the hand of the strong Lynchburg eleven. The final score was 48-7. Roland Farley ran about 65 yards for Danville's single touchdown. Danville ended the season with two victories, defeating Martinsville 3-0 and South Boston 12-0. DANVILLE DEFEATS LYNCHBURG On Saturday, February twenty- eighth, Danville High defeated the fast quint of Lynchburg High 18 to 21 on the V. M. I. floor. . Since the details have been in the local papers of both cities, and have been so clearly stated, we are omit- ting them here. This is the first time in the his- tory of our athletics that we have defeated our ancient rival on a neutral Hoor. All who saw the game said the floor-work of our boys was unsurpassed. The ball was in our territory nearly all of the game. From the spectators' point of view it seemed impossible to play a bet- ter game. All did their part and the result was one of the best games ever staged between the high schools. We just want the team to know how proud we are of them and their splendid sportsmanship. BASEBALL AT' D. H. S. Tuesday, March tenth, Coach Lefty Wilson issued a call for the battery aspirants. This call was answered by ten pitchers and four catchers. There is only one mem- ber of last year's pitching staff on hand, but with a likely bunch of new material we should have a very fo1'midable,staif. The teams will able to go on the field With Roland Farley, Jew Nolan, Hotfman Kerr Farley, Hinton Garland Harris of last Danville High School probably be by Monday. Tom Davis, Culpepper, Gwynn and yearls team, should be able to show as good it not a better team than she did last year. WHY WE SHOULD . SUPPORT OUR ATHLETIC TEAMS One of the best ways, if not the best, for a school to gain the atten- tion of the pupils is to produce good athletic. teams. To do this the teams must be loyally supported by the students. Almost any school with an enrollment of five or six hundred pupils can produce good athletic teams if the players are only en- couraged by having a crowd at the games. If the attendance is small no player can play his best, because he thinks that the school is not in- terested in the team, and that his time and energy are being wasted, therefore he does not play as hard as he would if a large crowd was present at the game. Not only are you helping your school and' team but you are also de- veloping a good point in your char- acter by supporting your teams, that is loyaltyg ii you are loyal to your team you will most likely be loyal to your friends. H If you have not attended the games recently, you will soon have your chance, for the baseball season is just around the corner, and the pros- pects for a good team the coming year are better than they have been for several years. ook TEAM 4 Now listen, while I tell you Of the team that surely will win, The team that's not brand new, But the team that's made of bet- ter men. This is the High School team, Composed of the best in the schoolg And you may see us play and scheme But we'll always play by rule. We'll always play fair And never a foul we'l1 makeg For this team plays on the square And surely a pennant we'll take. The players are old letter men, Honesty and fair play their plang For this is the code of men, This is the spirit of our clan. -Frank Ferrell.
