ALUMNI H0 ORED BY CE TRE FRO H Four alumni of the Danville High School ,all members of the class of '34, had honors bestowed upon them when they were elect- ed by the Freshman class of the Woman's Department of Centre College to hold the four most re- sponsible places given to fresh- men. Those receiving the honors are: Moiss Sara Adeline McConnell, president of the freshman classg Miss Opal Lee Roberts, vice-pres- identg Miss Dorothy Lancaster, secretaryg and Miss Margaret Moore, treasurer. Miss Lancaster was the editor of THE LOG last year and Miss Moore was editor-in-chief if THE NAUTILUS for 1934. To these girls go our heartiest congratulations. To mention honors coming to the alumni of last year would be diflicult, but this is just a sample of what the graduates of Danville High receive when they enter col- lege. Not only in Centre are Danville graduates recognized, but in other colleges as well. In Washington and Lee, Lexington, Virginia, for instance, two former Danville graduates, Joe Arnold and Earl Carson, are starring in athletics. . Societv.. '.

The cast for the production has nit been completed, but Miss hopes tot have the names cast ready for publication first of the week. Included cast are eleven boys and Matihis of the by the in the seven girls. The set of the play is' situated along the Rio Grand river in Texas not far from the border of Mex- ico. The center of attraction thriughout the play is a Sanitar- ium owned by the leading male, Dr. Drinkwater. The cast of characters are in order of their appearance in the play: Dr. Drinkwater, Mrs. Weak- ly, Mrs. Crossly, Dr. Slaughter, Dr. Cuttum, Dr. Collin, Rainbow, Bessie, Honor Madam Chere, Glory Drinkwater, Pancho, Philip, Jim, Old Timer, Bob, Cynthia, Manuel and the chorus. Come- one and come all to wit- ness a production which promises to be one of the best musical comedys ever produced in Dan- ville. Band Members Arise Early To Practice Because of conflicting schedules and an unkind fate, the period for the band practice has been chang- ed to 7.30 A. M. The doughty mu- sicians must rise at the crack of dawn and wander sleepily to school before the arrival of even the most enthusiastic of students. At 'Uhe time when many luckier pupils are still asleep, the band is marching up and down the football field earnestly, if somewhat drow- sily, practicing. It is doubtful if would-be late risers in the neighborhood feel very charitable toward the gen- erous sacrifice of forty-five min- utes of sleep made by each and everv band member. The inspiring influence of the clear morning air and the quiet, dew-drenched beauty of eadh day will, however, undoubtedly be noted in the future music of the band. Such is man-When he is born. his mother gets the attentiong at his wedding, the bride gets it: and at his funeral ,the widow gets it.

This pioneer in secondary education was the Boston Latin School, which was opened in 1635. A series of radio broadcasts, a memorial postage stamp, pro- clamations by government officials, and various special publications will commemorate this event. The foundation and many of the guiding principles of modern high school were laid in the Boston Latin School, It was the begin- ning of the long, difficult, and oftimes bitter struggle for something beyond mere Ureadin' and writ.in'. In our community and in most other communities the forces that oppose free and democratic schools have been vanquished. Often we fail to realize the value and importance of our school sys- tem. Unless we make use of the opportunities of our high school, the three hundred years of progress from the Boston Latin School will be of no help to us. If we support and cooperate with our school, we the pupils of the future. SCHOOL FINANCE This year's method of financing school activities promises to be quite a success, according to the latest figures. The system used is to combine all charges into one fee of three dollars, payable at the be- ginning of school or monthly, So far there is an average of 66 per cent paid for the entire school. Miss Hagarfs home room was highest with a percentage of 88 per cent. The three-dollar assessment is divided as follows: 60 per cent to athletics. fIn return the students receive admission to all home games.J 10 per cent to the Log. CNine issues of the paper, combined with the annual, will be published.J 5 per cent to the Senior class to aid in financing the senior play, class night, etc. 25 per cent to a miscellaneous fund to purchase classics, examina- tion paper, part of the new library books, materials for repairing old books, and to finance debating and other forensic activities. The sale of football tickets has materially increased, because of the installation of lights and various other factors. As a result, over S400 has already been paid on the new improvements on the football field. According to Coach Mountjoy, the entire cost of the lights and the new football stands will probably be paid within t-W0 Years- The success of the three-dollar fee heralds an end to the hereto- fore' ceasless stream of financing methods and gives the various school activities an increased measure of economic security. i..il.l-l The students of the cheering section are to be complimented upon the fine work they have shown at the games thus far, in their effort through pep to do their part toward helping the Admirals win. At every home game the students have turned out well and have been doing all they can to help the cheer leaders put pep into the team. Congratulations, students, and may your fine work continue. 1 TA sTUD15NT's WOEST 3 , PF Oh gee, this rotten algebra! I've been tusseling it for hours! I'd like to know what it's all about With its X to so many powers. And golly, there's that English test- What if I fail, by heck? All these crazy nouns and verbs Give me a pain in the neck. History is not much easier. Let's see-What did Napoleon do? Gosh, I've clean forgotten! School's hard, let me tell you. Now to get that Latin. Hope it's not so hard- How to form the objective plural? Oh, well, I'll guess, old pard. I'd never be the chap-to teach, And try to train the mind. Why, right now I'm all tuckered out- Sohool is just a grind. PRINCIPAL'S CORNER One of the finest characteristics that a student can pos- sess is that if driving hard with all his energy toward an ob- jective. If a student can learn while in school to use that in- telligence and ability with which nature has endowed him, he has gone a long way toward building for a successful future. The tragedy of it all is that there are so many people who never se-em to learn this simple truth. They are content to go along in a half-hearted way, lacking enthusiasm, merely mark- ing time in high school while they are accumulating credits much like a convict would accumulate months and years in a penitentiary. They are content to fool away their time while in many cases parents are at home making sacrifices to keep them in school. Perhaps Danville High School has no more loafers in pro-X w portion than the average American secondary school. That is little consolation. It occurs to your principal that Danville High School has too many. The fact that many other schools have too many loafers should not concern us. We are primar- ily interested in Danville High School and its improvement. We do not rise or fall by what other schools do but by what we do. There is a desirable goal to be reached and we know what it is. It is the goal of honest, conscientious effort.
