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.

The first six weeks NOW donrt blame us? itfs not our chemistry and physics laboratories. A M I' ended October 12, and report cards dirtg it's yours. We're out for the real lowdown and if it's hard to take-well, keep your dirt cover- ed fi' The bigshot gigilo of our senior class has at last developed an in- novation of unusual variety-at last Mr. Sanford thinks so . . . We know that your ears are burning with curiosity . . . So here goes . . . Ask Harry how many kisses he received during the Male game. For the benefit of the uninformed, look up the number of first downs Danville gained during the game . . . For goodness sake Harry, why not make it every yard they gain next time. Wlhen a feller needs a friend . . Now, Bus Clarkson wants to know who told some girl he needed help gaining a place on the first team . . . He would like to kill that Boidy . . . Yes, Buster, love does make them like that sometimes. So cheer up and tell Shirley our sword will be mightier than her pen next time. fNow if you'll pardon us we'd like to ask Hines the reason for the flying Manual and planes 3 Marion Guthrie seems to think that she possesses the long adver- tised Skin You Love to Touch. At least we got that idea in the Kenton Hotel lobby where holding hands is something new. Budd Kirby has at last found his Dream Girl, and she's no other than our l ittle sophomore pal, Charlotte Stagg. Permit us to ask the question-Did Buddy find you or did you find Buddy? Last year we had in our midst a boy who considered it a special, duty and privilege to hug all the faminine six . . . Now . . . believe it or not, Bernadine pretty well handles all Gufl ey's hugs. Mr. Huffman seemed to be un- der the impression that flappers went out with the depression, but lhow was it that Dutchie Eiford changed his mind? We are happy to announce that some one has at last relieved us of Miss Jessie Alexander. The cul- prit is Edwin Jeffries. Well, after all girls will be girls, and boys will do the best they can. -The Hi-Times. Dayton High School has made a change in its publication plan. The annual has been discontinued. A special edition of the Daytonian will be given to the seniors-The Daytonian. Thirty members have been added to the Somerset band, Two new in- struments have also been added, the basson and flute-The Home- spun. Mary Catherine McCinney, Freshman, of the Florida College for Women at Tallahassee, is only fourteen years of age. She is said to be the youngest person ever to register at the college and is majoring in English and Latin-- The Frond, West Palm Beach High School. JUST IMAGINE Sammy Wheeler not getting mad when teased. A good dramatic club picture for the paper. Miss Frances Bradley not keep- ing anyone in after school. Jimmie Buster with blond curly hair. Everybody passing in geometry and Latin. Mildred Porter failing in some- thing. The old building being ten stories high. Mr. Mountjoy not knowing any jokes. Linelle, Dot Marcum, and Jim- mie Hewlett not being sent out of the library. Betty Sandifer walking to school Dick Sullivan being embarrased. Everyone in journalism getting his lesson, Mr. Allen not giving a test about every other day. Bobby Wheeler having dates. Dorothy Coleman doing anyv thing for herself. Caroline Bean not knowing ev- erything about everybody, There is every evidence that Genevieve Goldston is going for Buckcreek, in a big way. One of our senior Admirals seems to have lost his dignity. We hear that W. M. has been estra- sized from Harrodsburg society. Shades of Iva: Bee and Lucille are worthy successors with their diamonds flashing around the Sen- ior room. Hurry up girls, this bids fair to be another lucky year. Sighs of sorrow when Annapolis claims its students. Cheer up, Mary Louise. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and June is not far away. Violetta and Ruthie are still tak- ing Mechanical Drawing despite their recent sorrow and loss. But those were tears, idle tears. It gives the senior girls a rare set-back when Mr. Foley consid- ers them such playful seniors. Now did all the girls just choose to call 'on Lucile Wheeler when those handsome Somerset chaps were there. Angeline Jett's theme song from 7:45 to 8:00 is I'll be faith- ful. And just watch 'em flock in. Mr. Foley- Campbell, you will do me a great favor if you join the Dramatic Club. Campbell- Why-er-er-Mr. Fo- ley, now just how does one dra- matic ? Gail Robinson even admitted that she lost her voice by sitting on the front porch one night. A certain Junior girl goes in big for people by the name of Sullivan. A little birdie tells me that Campbell Crockett has a crush on a certain Harrodsburg girl. S'mat- ter, losing your grip, Emmy? were given out last Wednesday. All Maple Avenue and Broad- way teachers, as well as instruc- tors at the Danville High School, attended the District meeting of K, E. A. held October 5 at Rich- mond. Miss Eva Smith, sixth grade teacher at the Maple Avenue institution, was named as Boyle County's delegate to the annual convention next spring in Louis- ville. Broadway possesses only one new addition to the faculty this year, Miss Roberta Meyers, Of Nicholasville, who teaches the first grade. Members of the Maple Avenue P. T. A. organization will serve the community supper which will be held October 25 to start the annual Red Cross drive in Dan- ville and Boyle County. The pupils at Broadway will celebrate Hallowe'en with a car- nival that will be featured by a Tom Thumb Circus together with sinh shows of many freaks. A Believe It or Not. Odditorium, fish pond, mexican jumping beans, fortune teller and a hall of terror. The usual Hallowe'en characters will also be present. In September Miss Mattie Sallee first grade instructor, met with the State Curriculum Committee in Lexington. Miss Sall-ee is a member of the Reading Commit- tee of that group. Students and members of the faculty at Maple Avenue Grades School are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new pictures. The purchase of these new pictures was made possible through the use of proceeds derived from pro- grams given at that school dur- ing National Picture Week. The lads and lassies at Maple Avenue will celebrate Hallowe'en with a jitney supper.
