M. S., and D. D. H. Dear Lovelorn: Perhaps it never occured to you that Tommy G. has other feminine interests. As for your letters and notes, they don't mean a thing if they ain't got that swing. Miss Fixit: I am unable to get my lessons in first period study hall. I have been very much entertained by the sidelong glances sent from Bar- bara Roberts to Jack Guerrant. How will I ever concentrate? Disturbed. Dear Disturbed: You have nothing to worry about: just be glad you aren't Jack Guerrant. Dear Miss Fixit: I am a senior in high school. I am 17 -and a brunette. I hope you can solve my problem. The other night I went on a Weiner roast and while racing with my boy friend, I fell down. He picked me up. Is this proper or should I have gotten up by my- self as I am very bashful. A Timid Little Sparrow. Dear Little Sparrow, Of course since you have al- ready made this mistake it can not be corrected, but I can at least tell you wlhat to do in case this situation arises again. By all means wait until the boy has walked on, or ask him politely to turn his head while you gather yourself together. Never allow the boy to help you upg he will think you are trying to push yourself on Ihim. Dear Miss Fixit: Please tell me how one is ex- pected to study or to recite in Mr. Foley's room fNo. 391 with the combined noises of wailing saxa- phones, off-tune cornets, a drum corps, rumbling- bassos, shrill so- pranos, besides the knocking, deafening, clicking noises furnish- ed by the heat pipes and the stumping, bellowing, and yelling e First Row, Left to Righ-Eldon Ruppe, Logan Caldwell, Garfield Crain, William Inman, Leeland Spoonamore, Robert Clarkson, vin Clem, W.

Dear No Name: If you are so intent on study- ing, I suggest you bring cotton to put in your ear, but what I can't understand is wlhy anyone would want to study in Mr. Foley's room. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club held its bi- monthly meeting Wednesday, Nov. 7, with talks by four members. Plans were made for a coon hunt in the near future. Talks were given by Lloyd May on The Millionth Part of an Inch, Blackwell Brown on Won- ders of Movie Land, Marvin Clem on The Mysteries of Epi- demics, and James Boling on Current Events. The meeting was adjourned at 3 o'clock. .,.. ,,, Misses Josephine Foley and Mary Morton Sullivan, class of '34, who now attend Nazareth College, spent the week-end with their par- ents.

Mr. Foley: Your condition in this course is indeed precarious. Joe Marshall: Thank you, sir! The 1934-35 Dramatic Club made its debut with the presen- tation of Tea at Four before the junio rand senior assemblies on Nov. 12 and 13. The play, a murder mystery in one act, met with the enthusiastic approval of the entire student bo-dy. Tlhe leading part was played by Jimmie Robinson as Police In- spector, Joe Warren, who lived up to his reputation as an actor, al- ready firmly established by his performance last year. The parts of Prue Neville, play. ed by Jessie Alexander, Allen Blaine, her sweetheart, played by Dick Foster: and Jarvis. the but- ler, played by Roland Cogar, all showed excellent dramatic ability. Nora, the cook, was portrayed by Naomi Eiford, who stole the honors of tlhe plav by her charac- ter acting. Joe Frankel made a heroic figure as Clancy, the cop, in a borrowed uniform. Madison Lee and Susan Coving- ton, as lovers. horrified and frightened by the murder, bore their parts ably. The dead man, played with such convincing' nat- uralness, was John Creech. DEBATE CLUB The Forensic Club has been or- ganized under the sponsorship of Harold Walker, Centre College debater and graduate of Danville High. Welch Peel has been elected president, Madison Lee, vice-pres- ident, and James Hewlett, secre- tary-treasurer. It is Mr. Walker's intention to conduct discussions on various subjects within the club and to organize a debate team for com- petition with other schools on the subjects: Resolved, that the Fed- eral Government Should Adopt tlhe Policy of Equalizing Educa- tional Opportunities Throughout the Nation by Means of Annual Grants to the Several States for Public Elementary and Secondary Education.

What is this thing called education which most of us are trying to get? An educator once said that it was that which was left when a person forgot the things he learned in school. This definition might be considered a little radical but to say the least it gives food for thought. Of course a person does not forget all of the formal learning which he absorbs at school, but there is no doubt but that thousands of facts which are at one time or the other at our command fold their tents like the Arabs and silently steal away. A What, then, is education? Who is the educated person? Is it the person who can recall the most facts at a given time? Possibly, but that alone will not make you an educated person. If you have the proper attitude toward your teachers, your classmates, and your family: if you are honest, intellectually and socially: if you are tolerant of the other fellow's views and religion: if you have learned to be thorough and efficient in whatever you undertake: if you can appreciate the beautiful in art, music, and nature: if you have learned the essential fairness of open-mindedness and suspended judgment: if you have learned to practice healthful living: if you have learned to be a good citizen and fully realize what citizenship implies: if you have learned to take it as well as to dish it out : and, most important of all, if you have learned to analyze your own strength and weakness and have learned how to chart an intel- ligent course of action without being continually prodded into doing it: if you can do all these things and a few score of others, there is a chance for your becoming educated, Maybe the fellow in the first paragraph was not so far wrong after all. He was probably talking about the things got- ten from the antiquated books in the Qld type school. The modern high school can bring you the good things of life if you will but take advantage of them. College' will supple- ment this by broadening your entire outlook upon life and help- ing you to develop a philosophy of living which will make life more worth while.

Last February The Log published an editorial on the subject: Suppose that President and Mrs. Roosevelt Should Visit Our School. This, of course, hasn't come true, but Mr. Roosevelt has had an op- portunity of seeing many of the pupils themselves at the Harrodsburg celebration. Did they behave in a manner that would impress him with their politeness and general good behavior? Would we be proud of his opinion of Danville High pupils if they were lo be pointed out to him? Wherever we go, do we represent our school in the way it should be represented? People judge Danville High and all high schools by the students, so we should strive to show in our actions the effech of the ideals and principles of education. In so doing we shall become better individuals as well as increase the prestige of our school. l...i..l--.- GOOD MANNERS The term good manners does not always mean those rules of soc- iety which are told to us in etiquette books. They are usually the customs which time has proved to be the correct thing to do. Good manners are acquired only by daily practice. By the every-day use of good manners, one can obtain a natural graciousness, which is an asset to anyone. The use of these customs of society must always be sin- cere. It is this point that America has failed to stress in the minds of its younger generation. Almost every young American has at some time, either in the home or schoolroom, been taught the correct thing to do at the correct time. Very few, however, understand the impor- tance of good manners and sincerely practice them. It is in a group of young people of the same age that you will find a lack of good manners. Especially is this true in the school of today. There we find young people doing things that they would never think of doing in their homes. Such things as talking when someone else is, rudely interrupting the speaker, making crude remarks about teachers and even friends, taking advantage of a younger child, and deliberately making fun of someone are everyday occurrences in a modern high school. The doers of these deeds would seldom think of doing' them in the presence of older people, or at home. Sometimes the reason for such actions is the desire to attract at- tention. Sometimes it is due to the envy of another person. Usually, however, it is because the person lacks a real sincerity in his own character. When ,a person is sincere he desires to be only what he seems to be and does not tions. A sincere person ness which, in turn, will nered.

Webster was a great man and wrote a great book, but failed to place in his masterpiece those words most needed to express the ten- derest feelings of meng so it is with a groping uncertainty that we attempt to convey a message, heartfelt by all, to the man we learned to love so sincerely. We miss him, sorely, today, as we always shall, and, although a brave attempt is being made to fill his place, that at- tempt will make a place all its own in our hearts, for the one made already, is there to stay, never to be refilled. You of Danville Hi, take him not lightly. Learn how to appre- ciate his presence, for when he is gone, his memory will tear at the hearts of those whg knew him best, So it is with these words, Mr. Sanford, that we wish to express to you, our feelings of our loss, but we 'try to see it for the best, and wish you the utmost success in all your most worthy endeavors. Our arms, as our hearts, are forever open to you, as will be all those, whom you leave behind on your irresistible course forward.-The Senior Class of Murray High School.
