E LIZABETH FLOYD Class History The year of 1912-13 marks the beginning of the educational climb of a band of about eighty eager students, struggling toward the hilltop of success. Through the passing years, each new teacher gave an inspiration, until now, at last, the summit of the first hill has been reached. This class, gaining and losing, reached the seventh grade with about seventy students, two years' later only about fifty were presentg now the Senior class is a perfect group of forty. Some have entered other schools, some have drifted away. Margaret Fosdick, Robert Fitzpatrick, Isabella Parker, and J. W. Burton chose the more adventuresome path of matrimony. We shall never forget our untiring efforts in the classroom, in the Debating, Science, French, Glee, and Dramatic Clubs. Nor shall we forget the declama- tory contest in which Kathleen Montgomery won a silver loving cup, which will remain in the old school, as will the flag presented by this class, as memories of our presence. In athletics, too, we have played our part. Our girls, Evans, Wray, Wooldridge, Rains, and Durham, and our boys, Delong, Goggin, Ervin, Southwood, and Lester, have proved their mettle in all the Blue and White sports. The Danville School News, published by the Senior Staff, has been a success, and each later edition proved to be better than the previous ones. In social activities our class has done its part. The parties and picnics remain as delightful occasions in our memories. The Junior-Senior banquet of 1924 was a perfect success in. every way, and the pleasures of that evening mingle still in our thoughts with the goodbyes of the Seniors, who from that day could be only visitors in the dear old school thereafter. In spite of tests and examinations and all the perils of high school life, we have come to the closing days of this period of our education. As we reach the top of the hill and glance back into the paths by which we have come here, we drop a silent tear for the old days, and their comradeships. RAYMOND LESTER, Class Htstortan Nmeteen

iazef I f orare ee wee efafvfm fa Class Prophecy Twenty years have passed away since I was graduated from old D. H. S. Many were the glorious days I spent there. Some of the best things that have ever come into my life came during those wonderful days in the old school, and here I sit tonight. There is nothing to do. VVhy not listen in on the happenings of the world? VVon't you join me tonight and let us listen together? Station P. D. Q.-A musical number by the 'Faster Ones,' a trio composed of Misses Louise Rains, Ruth Wooldridge, and I-Ierford Southwood. 'Why, they are my old classmates! Oh, I remember how they sang passing from class to class. But what is this? The next number is a short address by Professor Donald Butler on 'The Signs of the Times'. Why! He is another- he never talked except to the girls. A piano selection by Miss Audrey Buck, world famous musician. She always played whenever she was asked, didn't she? Now she is famous. Let's tune in on WHAS. Stock Cwhir-r-r-clackety-buzz-burrb six and three quarters: Clark Company-hogs at twenty. Elwood! In a meat packing and selling business! High- est number of sales made at the New Blank Five and Ten Cent Store by Miss Anne Vanden- burg. Now, I am surprised! I thought she would have married by june, 1925, but she is still Anne. Come to The Kentucky and see the best pictures. Tickets sold by Mr. Earl Coca- nougher. For tomorrow the entertainers are Misses Elsie Evans and Martha Shewmaker. These famous young stars are touring the country, pleasing all with their individual and charm- ing numbers. So that is what those three are doing! Station I. O. U. Miss K. O. Montgomery will lecture on 'Cabbage Culture,' followed by an address on 'The Correct Method of Stringing Beans for Muscle Developmentf by Miss Elsie Southwood. My stars! how twenty years affects one! Last Sunday I listened in and heard a fine sermon by the Rev. Howard L. VanArsdale in Chicago. That was the biggest surprise I have ever had. Could you have conceived of such a thing? just recently I read of the marriage of Elizabeth Floyd to some man-I believe he was a doctor. I hope they have a cook, for they will surely need one, or a divorce will be the result. Men do worship food! Edna, Sara, and Mabel have finished their tenth year of teaching at Broadway. Oh, angelic martyrs! CBurr-r-rb A lecture by Clement Coleman, formerly of Danville, Kentucky. Most inter- esting Qgr-r-r-r! sk-h-r!D scientific lines. Mr. Coleman! 'Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to explain carefully the delicate workings of this marvelous aeroplane plow'! That is enough! Alpha, Cecil, Eugene, and Walter are all on the farm. They are trying out Clement's latest inventions for farmers. Station P. I. E. QSk-h-r-r!j-'Whitestar' won the first place in the New Orleans race-owner, Mrs. Betsy Dudley Skitskiawyski-jockey, Leonard Edelen. It ran in the ,families, I see. The marriage of Miss Clementina Amelita Beaucastle and Mr. Albert Hignite is to be solemnized at eight o'clock tonight. So he really married an English princess! The notorious hobo, Raymond Lester, found mortally wounded from walking so far. Horrors! The John Robinson Circus is making its one hundred and second tour. This year Miss Loraine Alexander is the fat lady, succeeding 'Aunt Eppie'. So much news, and all about my old class- mates! I read in the paper that Curd Snow was a professor at Yale. I was amazed. His greatest achievement in high school was selling advertisements. Andrew was professor at Centre, and through his influence Irene Durham got the position of janitress at Young Hall. She always was devoted to chemistry. Laura Shelby is a kindergarten supervisor in Hollywood, and Irene McMurray is married and owns an orange grove in Florida. Station K. A. K. 'Items of World Interest'-Misses Naomi Harmon and Ella Mae Camp- bell, missionaries to the South Sea Islands, have returned to the States and will address mem- bers of the Hula Hula Club. Miss Judith Smith, a great social worker, will lecture on 'A Painless Method of Extracting Eyebrowsf The thirteenth edition of 'This Married Life', by Mrs. Steele Harmon, is just off the press. Frances and Susan have become Red Cross nurse and com- munity worker, respectively. Bedtime Stories will now be given by Miss Georgia Wray, children's entertainer. 4' 4' 'I Station K. A.
