Smile and the world smiles with YO'-13 frown and you frown alone. A smile, as Ml'- Webstei' defines it, is An expression of pleas- ure, moderate joy, love, or kindness by the countenance. That's a lot for one small word to accomplish, we'll admit. Still, in our halls and classrooms, we students of Danville High could make quite as deep and full a meaning. After all, most of us live here about six hours a day together. That's over a thou- sand hours a year, and if we can make this school of ours a more pleasant place in which to live, surely any efforts to do so are worth- while. By thc way, our teachers have a lot to put up with, don't they? Most of them teach more than 150 students a day, and they might have a right to get pretty grouchy. Still, don't you notice they're usually cheerful! If you have ever come to school with a sort of down in the dumps feeling, you know how much a smile from a friend really helps. We don't mean a mere silly grin, but an hon- est-to-goodness, straight-from-the-heart smile that carries with it sincere kindness and ap- preciation. We're all pretty happy around here, and expressing our feelings by a sincere smile will help to spread good will. Student Government Should Be Appreciated By Students of D.H.S. This year, for the first time, a modified form of student government has been institut- ed at Danville High School. The presidents of the junior and senior student bodies each choose the speaker and have complete charge of the assembly programs for their group. These leaders were well chosen, and some very excellent programs have been brought to us by them. But do we want to stop here? Our school officials are willing to let us have more control, to have a real say-so in school affairs if we show that we have a real interest in them. Let's show them that we appreciate the degree of control given us and that we are capable of really taking part in responsible matters. If real student government were put into effect, it would be the very best leader- ship training that a person could get any- where in his high school course. Wanna Buy A Pencil? While strolling up town after school, it is a familiar sight to see the loyal efforts of the Pep Club members trying to sell Danville High pencils with the football schedule on them. Two members come idling out of the ten-cent store, and the bolder one spies a young man lounging outside. On the alert for a sale, she darts up to him. Wanna buy a pencil? I-Ie turns a careless eye on her. No, thanks. But they're splendid pencils. They got the D. H. S. schedule on 'em! Nope. She has a brilliant inspiration. I'll give you a piece of candy if you will. I could get a whole bag with the nickel I paid for the pencil. She loses hope of selling one to him, and seeing a middle aged gentfeman, plunges at him. Wanna buy a pencil? Not this evening, he tells her gently' Aw, come on! They've got the- He wheels savagely on her. I don't care what they've got! I told you I didn't want one! She retreats in alarm, and stands a moment speculating. Then, seeing a prospective cus- tomer, she dashes forward, and chants, Wan- na buy a pencil? Sure Another Sign. Another sign of the change of the seasons is that the gloomy looking fellow you see on the streets isn't a business mang he's a foot- ball coach.-Ex. Principal's Corner It is a relief to find a few members of the newspaper staff who are hustling at their jobs. ' Public hero number one of Danville High School will be the student who reports the fellow who persists in scratching some of the new chairs in the West Hall rooms - or still better the student who gives said fellow a gentle sock on the jaw. It's about time for the usual fall crop of Smart Alecks to put in their appear-- ance in home rooms and classes. Look for them, you normal folks. They aren't hard to Hnd. Most ,of them will be trying to attract attention. Thcy thrive on your applause. Congratulations to the Danville Admir- als on the wonderful showing made against Somerset last Friday night. If the fight and the enthusiasm exhibited by the Big Blue last week is present in the renialfning games on the schedule, Danville should not lose another game. This is no time, however, for the team to rest on its laureis. The boys will have to continue to improve to be able to take the other opponents into camp. Just about the time this paper comes from the press, S. R. Cummins, faculty sponsor of The Log will return to the fold after a two-weeks' stay in a Louis- ville hospital. We have missed him. Wel- come home, Squire! FaV01'ite P0em of the Month: Hitch your wagon to a star. Keep your seat and there you are. r..i.-. 'in

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.
