2 THE LOG ASSEMBLIES Under the sponsorship of the studcnt government, the students are enjoying' many interesting chapel programs this year. Dr. H. T. Stevens from Ashbor- ough, North Carolina, was the guest speaker at the senior as- sembly, September 27. Dr. Stevens' address dealt with his philosophy of how to obtain happiness. Dr. W. P. Fryman, from Cyn.- thiana, Kentucky, who has replac- ed Dr. O. B. Crockett in the Methodist church, spoke before the senior assembly on October 3. Dr. Fryman has been here only a short time and the student body was glad to have him so soon. The school orchestra entertained the senior assembly October 10, with many popular selections. Previous to this, on October 6, the. same program was presented in the junior assembly. The juniors, showing their ini- t'ative, entertained themselves September 30 by selecting from their own group one person to tell a story. Miss Ann Caldwell re- lated Two Pilgrims by Leo Tolstoy. ' Dr. Sweazey, minister of the 'Second Presbyterian church, spoke before the junior assembly, OC- tobe-r 13. During- his talk he ex- plained and demonstrated the ideals and qualities one must pos- sess to have a successful life. ELLIOTT JAMES A program entitled Wonders of Liquid Air is to be given by- El- liott James in the High School auditorium, Thursday morning, December 12. This feature is personally managed by Austin A. Davis, tour manager of world celebrities for more than a quar- ter of a ce-ntury. This scientific program is color- ful, entertaining, and even sensa- tional, without detracting from its educational value. Mr. James il- lustrates the practical use of liquid air, and also demonstrates the peculiar qualities given various substances when subjected to its freezing contact. The entire program is generous- ly spiced with humor, and the audience will be kept on edge by a series of thrilling surprises.

However, individ- ual accomplishments in these fields will be rewarded as stated above. per the i-.i-1 HUC'K FINN GIVEN tContinued from Page Onej girls, as Fred Raymond, the at- tractive lover of Aunt Ruth. The comic roles were expertly handled by Charlotte Stagg, as Clara Wop- pinger, the know everything dea- coness of the church, by Jane Fant, who was a riot as her younger sis- ter, Amy Woppinger, and by Dor- othy McCowan, who brought down the house as the superstitious col- ored maid. The entire cast played up to the audience, which was re- ceptive and enthusiastic, and the result was a play which had polish and finesse far beyond that found in most amateur productions. Al- though, with one exception, Jack Guerrant, all the players were new members of the club, most of them had had experience in the Junior Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Frances Bradley. Before the play and between the acts, music was furnished by the high school orchestra under the di- rection of Mr. Welch. The play was directed by Mr. Foley, the sponsor of the Sock and Buskin Dramatic Club. Assisting him in various capacities were Ruth Van Winkle, of Centre Col- lege, Margaret Elllen Smith, Lil- lian Wise, Betty Sandifer, Mildred Porter, Margaret Cheek, Madison Lee, and Ben Powell. Mr. Foley and the club are indebted to Baugh and Garner for the furniture used in the play. New stage equip- ment was built by the stage crew, Charles Reynolds, Ed Gordon, and W. D. Prather, under the direction of Mr. Whalin. INSPECTION OF SCHOOL CContinued from Page Onej cafeteria, athletic department, and other parts of the school plant. He highly commended the improve- ments made in this school during the last few years. Danville High School has for years had a high rating in the association. While in conference with the superintendent and principal, Mr. Ligon especially asked to be invit- ed back to the exposition, held by the manual training, home eco- nomics, and other departments in May. S. R. CUMMINS HAS OPERATION ,1...,1. On Monday, October 7, Mr. S. R. Cummins, teacher in the social science department, left for the Norton Infirmary, in Louisville, where he underwent a minor op- eration. The operation was suc- cessful, and Mr. Cummins is re- cuperating nicely. He will resume his teaching duties this week. While Mr. Cummins was absent, Miss Mary Virginia Wood, part- time teacher in the music depart- ment, substituted in his position. ANNUAL 0PEREl'l'A HAS BEE. CHOSEN i-,L The Belle of Bagdad Will Be Presented Dec. 5 and 6 The Belle of Bagdad, an op- eretta in two acts by Geoffrey F. Morgan and Frederick G. Johnson, has been selected for the annual performance of the Mixed Glee Club this year. This production promises to live up to the favorites of the past, although in a slightly' different way. The costumes of India will lend much color to the scenes, at the same time giving contrast as compared to the op- erettas of the last four years. There are fourteen main char- acters, eight girls and six boys, supported by choruses of native guards, tourists and dancers. Re- hearsals will begin the last of Oc- tober, and the operetta will be presented on December 5 and 6. The Girl's Glee Club is very promising and is expected to be one of the best in years. Many members of the Boy's Glee Club are inexperienced, but much talent is available. I never kissed a girl in my life, -said Mr. Foley. Well, don't come buzzing around me, replied Miss Hagan, Pm not running a prep school. Mr. Huffman- Do you have any trouble with 'shall' and 'will' '? Mr. Griffin- No, my wife Says you 'shal'i', and I say I 'will'! l 1 N A Are You Looking For Shoes That Are Different?

REPRESENTATIVE INSPECTS SCHOOL Professor M. E. Ligon, represen- tative of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, paid a visit to Danville- High School on Tuesday, October 8.

Points toward club membership will be based almost entirely on extra-curricular activi- ties, although a standing of one, which is a C average, must be maintafned by the student who as- pires to receive the award. One hundred points must be ac- cumulated within the school year by the student to make him eligi- ble for club membership. The committre, composed of Mr. Foley, Mr. Huffman, Miss Virginia Brad- ley, and Mr. Sanford, has worked out a point system which will be tried out this year. If it is found that too many or too few make the Honor Club, the points allowed for the various activities will be changed accordingly in succeeding school years. Thirty points will bg given to the following: Msmblr of the d:- bating: tzam, president of the sen- ior high school student body, pres- ident of the junior high school student body, editor of the news- paper, and business manager of the newspaper.

A large and enthusiastic audience applauded Huckleberry Finn last night and acclaimed it to be one of the most successful plays ever presented at the high school. It was a credit to the director, the members of the cast, and the Sock and Buskin Dramatic Club. The play was an auspicious opening for the 1935-36 dramatic season. Jimmie Hewlett made a briliiant stage debut as Huck Finn, full of pranks and roguish, lovable, and wistful appeal. Jack Guerrant sustained his reputation as an out- standing juvenile actor in the role of Tom Sawyer, Huck's pal and partner in crime. Anna Margaret Bradshaw played to perfection the difficult role of Huck's Aunt Polly, who was always so nervous. Le- land Spoonarnore also handled the character role of Huck's father in a most creditable manner. Jean Marie McConnell made a lovable, xlisweut, and attractive Aunt Ruth, wh le Mary Munn was most charm- ing? as the pretty little Mary Ann, I-luck's sweetheart. John Stigall pleased everyone, especially the fContinued on Page Twol HOME ROOMS GET 8O NEW LOCKERS To the great joy of students in West Hall, eighty new lockers have been installed in that side of the building. These lockers, which are of the newest type, are built to accommodate two per- sons in each locker. The home rooms of Mr. Griffin, Miss Drake, Miss Hagan, and Mr. Mountjoy will have the use of these lockers. Due to the crowded conditions existing, Mr. Mountjoy's seventh grade boys have had no place to put their books during the day. Thus, this improvement will be of great benefit to thene. L

THE LOG 3 il: it Ill rlf lk 'lf Sli 1 C zz: SEEN WHILE ROAMING if 'F By O. 0. McFoster. 'ii is :lf Ik :li ik ik if ll l I imagine most of you would like to know the why and where- 1ore of this column. I might say this is merely a personal opinion on cLrta.n phases of school life. The first time news assignments were given out in journalism class everyone wanted to write a scandal column. With the combined ef- forts of some four or five embryo Walter Winche.ls we got out one good column. What's this - trea- son to my fellow writers? I'm going to try to keep this from being a scandal column be- cause I always said, Scandal is a bad habit and it's worse on the end of your tongue. Writing it doesn't count. Any news about the faculty will be greatly appre- ciated. The fmuch-usedj cigar of the month goes to the Pep Club for having a score board built at the south end of the football field. This was badly needed and the Pep Club deserves many thanks for this generous action. This was made possible by the sale of pencils. Al- ways support your school if you wish to have more of these im- provaments. Speaking of cigars, I think Mr. Papa Hauer deserves a whole box of them. It's a boy, isn't it? He was so nervous he forgot all about the Corbin game. When ask- ed if he wasn't glad it was a boy he replied, No, I don't want him to have to go through what I have. Snapshots - Miss Hagan at the several different different nights, couldn't get up go to the min- did you like the exposition with gentlemen - on of course. She enough nerve to strel show. How mayor's company?-Mr. Edwards at K. C. W. with Miss Cobb. Bet- ter hold on to that A. K. P. pin. The latest proposition in geome- try is: Given: Girl born in the country, brought up in the country, and still lives in the country. To prove: This said girl is not country. What's the answer, Anna Mar- garet? I am indebted to Buford Guer- rant for my thought of the month - Most people go to heaven be- cause they are too green to burn. N O AFTERNOON CLASSES FRIDAY Because of the twelfth annual educational conference which will be held at the University of Ken- tucky on Friday of this week, and because of the football game to be played between the Admirals and Henry Clay High School on the same day, there will be no school tomorrow afternoon. There will be no home room or chapel period. Classes will start at eight o'clock, six shortened periods being run in the morning. BAND NEWS The new school dance orchestra is becoming quite popular. The program presented at both assemb- lies was well received by the stu- dents. The orchsstra has also been 'asked to play befo1'e the dramatic club. The group filled an engage- ment last week at Salvisa, in the interests of instrumental music for that school. The dance orchestra is composed of Barry Griffith, John Fetterman, Eleanor Rubin, Charlotte Sale, Leonard Wofford, Peggy Ingels, David Siegel, Sylvia Siegel, Gerald Cundiff, Tony Marshall, Frances Guffey, and Jesse Lee Meier. The Classical Orchestra will en- ter the fall music festival at Lex- ington, competing in division four. A class in conducting is being taught this year in anticipation of the student conductor's test, insti- tuted at the festival this year. Kentucky Bandmasters Associa- tion has ruled that junior grade pupils may compete with senior high students in instrumental rlllllllililllllllz : EAT AT : g l i NEW YORK CAFE : Good Food : l at ll Low Prices. : llllllllllllllllll solos. Our eighth grade trumpeter will probably show a few of the upper classmen how it is done. Some of our band boys may bi embarrassed this year, since a sight reading contest is being plan- ned. All band instrument solos and small ensemble events may be l,cld during January instead of May. The band has completed one more step toward the instrumental requirements for the National Band Classification. This long sought addition is two flutes, own- ed and played by Billy Gravely, and Dorothy Creekmore. Joe Robert Wisner Lovell has developed into a dandy drum ma- jor, having worked his way up from the ranks where he tooted the baritone. Perhaps he is in- spired by his sponsor. P. T. A. NEWS At the last meeting of the P. T. A., held on October 2, Dr. Thornton Terhune, of Centre Col- lege, made a very interesting talk on The Place of History in a Chi1d's Life. ' He brought out the point that history makes you what you are: English, high class or low class, and rich or poor. His speech was preceded by a violin solo by Eleanor Rubin, a baritone solo by Joe Lovell, and a cornet solo by David Siegel. Previously, it had been announc- ed that two dances will be spon- scored by the P. T. A. this year. One will be a dance after the foot- ball season is ove1', and the other will be the annual Junior Prom. A book sale is being sponsored this week by the P. T. A. The proceeds from this sale will be giv- en to the band, cafeteria, and lib- rary. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last we:k the stu- dents of Danvi1.e High School brought numerous contributions for this sale. At the next meeting, on Novem- ber 6, Mr. Sanford will deliver a speech on The Place of the School in the Child's Life. Mrs. Hughes Jackson will sing a soprano solo. The Band Mothers division of the P. T. A. took part in the ticket- selling contest at the Miniature World's Fair Exposition which was held at the People's Tobacco Ware- house last week. The amount earned by the group was thirty- four dollars. This money goes into the geheral high school P. T. A. budget. Special mention goes to the band pupils who helped in this drive, and to Margaret Corley, who made the most sales. Miss Drake-I just adore caviar, don't you? Abie M.-I never heard him ex- cept on the radio. COMPLIMEN TS OF THE LOU! VILLE.
