Cummins Admirals To Be Congratulated On Fine Spirit Shown In Male Game One of the finest displays of fighting spirit ever witnessed in Danville was that shown by the Admirals against Male High School. It was the old never-give-up spirit that has carried many Danville High School football teams to glorious victories in the past. Against Male, the Admirals were facing a team, chosen from over fifteen hundred stu- dents, which numbered about forty-five mem- bers on its squad. and which was instructed by five coaches. Yet, the Big Blue, even when behind fourteen points, never quit fight- ing in an attempt to win for coaches Mount- joy and Woford. Even though not quite able to overcome the lead, the Admirals scored two touchdowns against one of the best teams in the state. Every member of the squad and both coaches are to be congratulated on the fine spirit shown by the team against Male. The student body is to be praised for the backing and co-operation shown for the team on that day. We are sure that the players fully appreciate the fact that the students are back of them, win or lose. The Last War, Fought To Save the World for Democracy, Was in Vain On November 11, seventeen years ago, two mighty armies were given commands to cease fighting. The whole world wildly rejoiced that those four long years of slaughter and horror were ended. In our own country there was wild joy - bells, sirens and the glad shouting of deliriously happy men and women combined in celebration of the end of this great conflict. In 1935, Armistice Day was marked by the usual pageantry, prayers, and wreaths upon tombs of soldiers, known and unknown. These ceremonies were overshadowed, however, by the fear that the world would again be drawn intg battle. Jealousies between nations con- tinue, armaments increase, international trcaties are scrapped, and the world is still cursed by individual aspirants for political power. Years have passed, but the millions of lit- tle white crosses, and the hospitals full of pitifully maimed veterans form a grim re- minder of the tragedies of war. This heroic sacrifice was made in vain, and loved ones suffered for a lost cause, because this war to end war and make the world safe for de- mocracy accomplished nothing but great de- struction. Although no student of Danville- High can remember this last great conflict, we have heard, all of our lives, of the necessity of pre- venting further wars. With the invention of new methods of destruction, few would sur- vive to recite the horrors. It seems to be up to our generation, knowing the stark trage- dies of useless human conflict, not to be mis- led by the artificial glamour of war propa- ganda, but to really uphold the principles of true peace. Tribute On a summit, thirteen hundred feet above Vailima, Samoa, lies Robert Louis Stevenson. On every November thirteenth, the anniver- sary of his birth, natives weed a path, then form a procession and carry wreaths upward to his massive tomb, chanting meanwhile for Tusitala, Teller of Tales, to return to them. Today Samonans untangled the growth from trails That wind aloft to Vasa's lonely crest, Their arms were heavy with wreaths for the Teller of Tales, Imploring gods to aid and to guide their quest, If I could bridge the vastness of time and space I too would gather hibiscus wreaths of flame And climb the heights alone to that quiet place Bearing a gift of love, a tribute to fame. Instead gaunt fingers of leaves clasp wisps of snow Pale as shadows in distant seas to-nightg The grate's a crater of coral flame hung low: flight. -Mrs. Gladys Archer. Principal's Comer Tomorrow, representatives of St. Xavier High School of Louisville, including foot- ball players, students, and fans, will be our guests. Let us treat them with the courtesy and consideration which they are entitled to receive. The Admirals hope to send the visitors back on the short end of the score. Regardless of the outcome of the game, however, let us not forget our manners. Tomorrow's game will mark the final ap- pearance, in high school football, of eight Admirals who will be on the starting team. Seven oth-ers, on the remaining squad, will don the football blue for the last time or have been compelled to drop out because of injuries. These fifteen boys have tried hard to live up to the traditions of Admiral teams of the past. It is needless to say that those who get into the game- tomorrow will play their best. The- Pep new Supply appearance, ball season. Club might announce that a of pencils will soon put in its advertising the coming basket- In addition to buying sweaters for the letter men and constructing the football Scoreboard, the club is planning another fine gift to the school. More about this later! Not-original-but-seen-somewhere: It's not the school I mind. It's the principal of the thing. NO EXTRA CHARGE: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

THE LOG 3 : Seen f - lllhile KM Roaming Win. 3 O. O. lVIcFoster It is rarely ever that the foot- ball squad gets to say anything to the student body as a whole, but I would like to take this op- portunity to do so on our behalf. Although our season has been far from a successful one, Coach and Mr. Woford have worked with us as hard as if we were state champs. Mr, Sanford has arrang- ed several very nice trips for us and the faculty has cooperated in every way to help keep all mem- bers of the squad eligible. The student body has supported us ably in all games. We appreciate this very- much and are sorry that we have not won more games than we have. Speaking of football trips, Mr. Huffman seems to enjoy them very much along wtih some other members of the faculty. Ask him about the red head in Middles- boro. Mr. Huffman's neck got sore from looking at her over the back was men- the things trip, Mr. have to of his chair. When it tioned about writing up that happened on the Sanford said he might censor the wisecracks. Wonder why? After Mr. Foley had expended a great deal of energy in putting up the pictures of the outstand- ing writers of today, a seventh grader came up and asked, Mi: Foley, why are you putting up all these pictures of gangsters ? The little man, Harold Reynierson, gets a big cigar. What's your choice for Oompah? Minc's Pete the Tramp with Tar- mxzxxxzzx SENIORS If you want to have some zan of the Apes a close second. Suggestions on how to become a millionaire: get a monopoly on selling- sheets to followers of Mahatma Ghandi or selling shoes to the Ethiopian army. If neither of these work, try saving your money.

Many of the remarks found ir. this column are not original, but what I have heard I am pas-sing on to you in hopes you will enjoy them as much as I did. After hearing Mr. Huffman say that he was looking for his cousin. when asked what he was doing in Terrace Court at i A. M., I say, Goodnite and g'wan to bed. What's this we hear about a jun- ior girl riding in a stolen car with a strange boy Sunday night? We were certainly surprised. Nancy. We understand that Mary Munn has been given a picture of Jakie Inman. Careful. Guy! P. T. A. Notes The regular monthly meeting of the P. T. A. was held November 6, at the I-iigh School auditorium.

Friend of Mine was sung by Mrs. Hughes Jackson. who was accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Nancy Williams. Reports from the district P. T. A. confer- ence, held at Frankfort, were given by Mrs. J. N. Frankel and Mrs. James Sheehan. The P. T. A. sponsored a series of lectures by Mrs, A. B. Sawyer of Louisville on Psychologists Study of Youth. The lectures were given on November 7 and 8 at the Danville High School audi- torium, and were well attended by members of the organization and others interested.
