SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club held its regu- larly scheduled bi-weekly meeting on December 12. The president. Phil Foley, was in charge. Leland Spoonamore spoke on X-rays, the Master of Magic 3 Garfield Crain gave an interesting ' o 9 Principals Corner One of the fine .things about athletics is the sp0rtSrn2I1Sl1lP which it develops among the players who participate in the games. Occasionally the common rules of sportsmanship are broken but as a rule every fellow who has payed a season on the varsity or the reserve team in any sport comes out with well defined ideas of how to conduct himself against his adver- saries. This is usually in a way that brings credit to himself and to his school. It is a peculiar thing, but many times the fellow who shows less sportsmanship than any other is the sub on the bench, the student in the cheering section, or the fan who is ardently supporting the team. The man about whom the greatest squawk is raised is us- ually the official. Let it be said first that no official is infalli- ble, that any official is liable to, and usually does, make mis- takes. If he did not, he should immediately be called on high in a chariot of fire, there to sit in heavenly bliss while the an- gels fanned him with rule books which he could not see as he would know all the contents anyhow. The official has been agreed upon by the coaches and principals of the contesting schools. Regardless of any decision which he might make, he should not be jeered or booed. The captain of the team might call time and ask him about a decision, the coach might consult him between halves or after the game about certain interpre- tations of .the rules, but under no conditions should the specta- tors, juvenile or adult, allow themselves the doubtful pleasure of a single, lone squawk of dissatisfaction. In football the crippled player of the opposing team should get a good hand when he limps off the. field. In basketball the opponent trying .to make the free pitch should not be an- noyed by catcalls offered for the sole purpose of distracting his attention. Scor-es of other common courtesies which might be observed by spectators might be listed if space permitted. Let us do our best to conduct ourselves along the lines of true sportsmanship. We expect it of the boys on the field or on the floor. Let us do equally as well. talk on The President on the lAir g John Stigall told some as- tounding facts about Building tihe World's Largest Filled Dam. The regular topic, Current Events, was given by Guy Jones. A possum hunt was held for the members of the Science Club on Nov. 6 at Manley McBeath's home on the old Lancaster road. The dogs failed to tree any possums but the boys enjoyed the hunt just the same. The hunt was sponsored by Mr. Woford. GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves and the Girl Reserve mothers met in the au- ditorium Wednesday, Dec. 12. They later adjourned to the lib- rary for tea. A talk was given by Mrs. John Barrows of Berea, for- merly a missionary to Japan. Songs were sung by the Girl Re- serves. The aiiirmative debeate team has participated in two debates. The first debate, with Picadome High at Lexington, resulted in a tie. The second encounter was lost to Harrodsburg. Debates have been scheduled with Mt. Sterling, Man- ual, St. Xavier, and a return con- test with Harrodsburg. GRADE SCHOOL NEWS BROADWAY A play, Everywhere - Every- where Xmas Tonight, was given by the pupils of all grades before the P. T. A. last Wednesday af- ternoon. A Christmas entertain- ment will be given next Friday for the pupils. A play, Little Red, was given by the pupils of Miss Christine Rogers' fourth grade for the seal male. The school is decorated with Christmas trimmings and everyone is ready for Santa Claus.

THE STAFF OF THE LOG TAKES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WISH EVERY MEMBER OF THE STUDENT BODY, EVERY FACULTY MEMBER, AND EVERYONE A VERY MER- RY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. TODAY On every hand, revolutions, both violent and gradual, are 'taking place in the fields of government, science, education, and economics. They are important changes that will effect everyone directly and sometimes badly. The effect high school students just as much as, or more, than they do anyone else. Sad to say, a large number of students ignore current events and history in the making completly. Following a course of prescribed studies and excluding everything else is not getting an education. It is merely getting an important but small part of an education. Everyone. in this school has an opportunity to study current his- tory of quite as much importance as the history of the past in the- regular curriculum. The daily Courier-Journal, the Sunday edition of the New York Times, Current History, Literary Digest, and many other magazines are available in the library, and to neglect them is to msis knowledge essential to a true education. ' - llil.. CONGRATULATIONS Six operettas - all successful from every viewpoint. This is .the record which Danville High proudly holds. For this we are indebted, more than to anyone else, to Miss Catherine Mathis. Since assum- Ing the position of Music Supervisor here in 1928, Miss Mathis has directed Miss Cherry Blossom, Riding Down the Sky, Pickles, Radio Maid, The Lucky Jade, and, this year Oh! Doctor. Each year she has sacrificed. much of her own time in order to produce an opereitta of which the school can be proud. This year Miss ' r Mathis has quite lived up to her usual high standard with the aid of an excellent cast and an efficient stage crew, In addition to providing entertainment and furthering the caus-e of music in Danville, these operettas have given invaluable musical taining and experience to a tremendous number of students. For all to miss knowledge essential to a true education. , CHRISTMAS WARNING We .hate to disturb your Christmas vacation, but we can't resist telling you .that studying during the Yule season would boost many a poor grade. course, you won't follow this advice, but don't say LIBRARY OTES A Davy Crockett, by Constance Rourke, has recently been added to the library. This biograplhy of the famous hunter, Indian fighter, that iwe Warn you. Pew SO LITTLE I KNOW S0hIIttIe I know, - Of the winds that blow- Or the seas wlhen they churn, And I never will' learn. So little know, 1 Of the 'grasses that grow- . Or of flowersthat bloomg I'm just in a gloom. So little I know, Of why roosters crow- Or why the bees hum, For my knowledge is limited Like the food of a bum. By M. Salmon. i.....i1........ CHARLES' REFORMATION As Sharlie walked to school He said, Today I'll be no fool. I know I'll get my lessons right 'Cause-Oh! I studied so last night I'll be the best of all my class, And I'll do everything I'm askedg I won't talk without permission, And to everytlhing I'll listen. Today I'll make the teachers won- der And scratch their heads and pon- der, - And I'm sure they all will say, Wonder what's wrong with 'Sharlie' today. From now on, I'm going to be, A good boy, and you'll see r Sharlie ll be the best in the class, For I've learned my lesson at last.'f By Joe Duke Rulon.' and Texas rebel will be apprecialt-' ed by anyone interested in adven-' ture stories, for Crockett's life was more exciting than fiction. Nineteen readers have already taken out enough books to fill one record card-20 books. These blue cards are for the purpose of keeping a record of the books taken out by each person. EXTRA! etiquette for men! The Correct Thing, by 'William O. Stevens, is a book on appear- ance, manners, and behavior which is of importance to every boy.

H The latest Literary Guild book, North After Seals, by Thames Williamson, is an adventure story of seal hunting in Newfoundland Thames Williamson is the author of On The Reindeer Trail which is already a favorite in the library.

1 THE LOG BOOSTER PENCILS The success of the booster pencil sale was assured, according to Mr. Allen, sponsor of the pep club. Of the. thousand pencils orig- inally on hand, all but 50 have been given out to pep club mem- bers to sell and money for 600 of these has already geen turned in. These pencils are in the school colors, blue and white, and the home basketball schedule is print- ed on them.

Miss Mae Elizabeth Beeler, stu- dent of Vanderbilt University, will spend the Yuletide holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Beeler. ONE CONSOLATION There is a delightful friction still kept up in Danville High to the effect that school is out at 2:30 in the afternoon. To be sure, once in a while someone goes home that early, but only on rare occasions. Practically everyone is connected in some way or other with extra-curricula activities. Dramatic club, nature club, de- bate club, science club, girl re- serves, glee clubs, band orchestra all keep their quota of students until far, far into the afternoon. In addition to pressing club duties, book reports must be made, library work must be done, and tests must be made up - largely after sehoo.. One tearher has said that per- haps these activities are- of more value than regular sludies but the said fact remains: the boy who used to rush home and chop kindl- ing and carry in coal after school novv stays to practice for an oper- etta. Another custom crushed un- der the relentless foot of progress. HINTS FER CO0lxS By Abner Peabody Famous French Chief How to cook a old rooster: Some. lhas trouble cookin a old rooster so it is tender. First par boil for twelve hours over slow fire. Remove and steam over night. Place in oven well garnish- ed with butter and let simmer for three hours. Remove meat from bone and run through meat grind- er. In fact run it through twice. Mix thoroughly with mayanaise dressin and pickles and celery. Spread very thinly between two well buttered slices of bread. Then eat. If still not tender, repeat this process. Plank Steaks: First get a board one foot square. Nail steak to board, clinching nail on bottom side. Put in hot oven over a broil- ing pan early in the morning be- fore you get up. Cook under awful hot fire until supper time. Baste repeatedly throughout the day allowing juice to soak into the steak. Mix flour with fat dripped into the broiling pan to make thickened gravy. Remove steak from board. Pour gravey over the 'board and eat it.-Pine Ridge News. THE DRAMATIC CLUB A reading by Miss Elizabeth Gant was given before the mem- bers of the Dramatic Club on Wed- nesday evening, December 12, in the auditorium. Selections from Mary, Queen of Scots, by Sher- wood Anderson, were read by Miss Gant. This was in accordance with the plans of Mr. Foley, sponsor of the club, to arrange one program with a guest speaker for each month. EXAMS Among the many changes that hav-e taken place since the arrival of our new principal on the scene of Danville High School, is one just now coming to our attention, and how fast it comes! The dear old exams! Varying from the usual custom of having examinations start on Friday and last four days, this year they will last only three days with four periods each on the first two days, and three the last day. For two weeks faculty members have been working out an exam schedule so as not to have any conflicts, and finally it has been accomplished. The schedule has been complet- ed and will be announced very soon. Play close attention when the periods are anonunced so that you will not lhave trouble in find- ing out what, where, and when you take your exams. ,l,i -..i. THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT It takes from six to ten years to grow a Christmas tree to use just one night. Luther, janitor of the gymna- sium building, answers to the name of Silverberg. There are 30,000,000,000 stars each 30,000 times as large as our sun. A prominent sociologist says that truancy is one of the first steps toward a lift of crime. Let that be a lesson to you! Wonder how much snow it would take to break the skylights of the high school building. Columbia poplar trees are all of one sex. Knox College has lost thirty consecutive football games and didn't score a single point during the past season. Ice cream cones first appeared at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. 1,731,116 people paid income taxes in the United States last year, I
