, MERRY XMAS EXAMS ARE FOLKS NEAR VOLUME VII DANVILLE, KENTUCKY, THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1935 NUMBER 4 MADISON LEE l ll He Took a Trip Editor Lee represented Danville High School at the eleventh an- nual convention of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, held under the sponsorship of Washington and Lee University on November 22 and 23 at Lexing- ton, Virginia. EDITOR'S REMINISCENCES Landed at Lexington, Virginia, on Thursday morning. Looked up all the old home town boys . . . same old guys. Went to an in- formal reception at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house Thursday night . . . dancing and refresh- ments-plenty of hard cider and cakes-were provided. Next morn- ing everything got under way. Dr. Robert Tucker, Dean of W. and L., gave an address of wel- come . . . sorta played up his col- lege, and then the Current Events contest was conducted . . . almost as hard as Mr. Cummins'. Heard talks by Frank Mason on Radio and the News and C. C. Harvey on Pioneering in School Jour- nalism . . . very interesting but too long. Friday afternoon, group meetings were led by the editor of the Greenville High News . . . fContinued on Page Twoj GLEE CLUB GIVE 'BELLE 0F BAGDAD' Two Performances Presented On Dec. 5, 6, Are Success The two performances of the Belle of Bagdad, presented by members of the mixed glee club on December 5 and 6, were ac- claimed a great success by the large and appreciative audiences which witnessed the operetta. They judged this production one of the most spectacular and col- orful stage plays ever given at Danville High School. Nearly one hundred persons were needed to compose the prin- cipal characters, the dance1's, and the production staff, which made this operetta the delightful and entertaining affair that it was. The scene was in modern Bag- dad in the market place. The vivid- ly colored shawls in the mer- chants' booths made a wonderful contrast against the grey back- ground of an Oriental skyline. The color effect was intensified by var- ious colored lights placed in dif- ferent positions. A seareh for the most beautiful girl in Bagdad, the Belle, was the main theme around which the plot was woven. Dick Taylor, a film magnate portrayed by Whar- ton Allen, was in the Orient look- ing for the beauty who wore a unique amulet. Dialogue through-Q out the play was interspersed with ensemble music, lyrics, and dances. The many comical antics of William Thurmond, representing Ali Ben Mustapha, the prefect of fContinued on Page Threel DEDICATION This issue of THE LOG, which is twice its regular size, is dedicated to Coach Rice Mountjoy, and the members of the 1935 football squad whose pictures appear in the second section. MARGARET ELLEN SMITH She Made a Speech At the first meeting of the Ken- tucky High School Press Associa- tion, held on Friday, December 13, at the University of Kentucky, Margaret Ellen Smith, associate editor of The Log, and president of the association, gave a response to President McVey's address of welcome. THE LOG GIVEN HONOR MENTION The Log was given honorable mention this last month on its fea- ture stories by Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity at the Uni- versity of Kentucky. This frater- nity has been examining high school publications recently, in an effort to judge those papers which are exceptionally good in make-up, news stories, editorials, and fea- tures. Other high school papers receiv- ing honorable mention are: best make-up, The Bell, Paducah, Ky., best news stories, The Good Will, St. Vincent, Ky., and best editor- ials, The Hi-Times, Central City, Ky. The high school papers were passed on by a committee from the fraternity, composed of Nor- man Garling, Frank Borrfes, and Sagaser Kash. DANVILLE PLAYERS GREATLY H0 ORED Brown Named All-Southern With Lunsford All-State Danville High School football players were recently greatly honored when Joe Brown, 1934 All-State center and co-captain of the 1935 Admirals, was given All- Southern mention, and Jack Luns- ford, giant tackle, was named All- State. Brown also made the All- State first team selected by the Lexington Herald. Carlyle John- son, backfield captain of the 1935 Admirals, was placed in the sec- ond eleven selected by' the Lex- ington Herald. The annual selections for the All-Southern high school football team were announced last Satur- day by John Red Davis, chair- man of the All-Southern board. Twenty-four players from the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tenne-ssee, and Texas made up the All- Southern squad. Co-captain Brown was named center on last year's All-State football team, chosen by the Cour- ier Journal. This paper has not as yet made up its 1935 All4S'tate squad. This is the second consecu- tive year that Lunsford has been chosen on the Paducah Sun-Demo- crat's All-State eleven. It is interesting to note that Danville High School has for many years seen its football players placed on the mythical All-State fContinued on Page Twol SYMPATHY THE LOG wishes to take this opportunity to express its deepest sympathy to Jean Marie McConnell, popular eleventh grade student, who recently suffered the loss of her father, Mr. S. C. McCon- nell.

8 cl T, I ,M ,IMS i '- LITTLE B. 0. PEEIIS ,am f Homecoming day was quite a success, we'd say. For once, Dan- ville was really alive, and of coursc, those Male boys lno wise- crucks, please! helped make the day interesting. Dot McCowan is still that way about W. M, Ilcndren, we're told. Hcr patience has been rewarded, and she's really dating him now. Is it true that Philip W. took Norma Jane Thompson home from Katherine Poor's party. Are May Frances and Buster S. jealous! It is said that Linelle walked out of The Park again without paying her bill. Do the boys make her forget, or does she do it on purpose? Our youngest students do just about as much courting as the sen- iors. We hear that Evelyn Guer- rant and David Roberts kinda like each other, and that Richard Cald- well isn't doing so bad with a cer- tain little heart-breaker. The Skipper dance was quite a success, especially for the girls. Comments includtd - Best time since I've bccn in Danville - Whew, that Margaret Cheek was really ready - Nichols looked irresistible - and Stivers was D. H. S. BOOSTER B2 8: B. HOE HOP Phone 6 THE LOG the life of the party, as usual. And did you know that Tommy Gentry has quite a twit on Beulah Mae Hogue, and John Jackson is falling for Jane Rubin? Kenneth Ransdell, must be a wow. Else, how could he have both Carolyn Bean and Ann Stei- ger as rivals for his affections? We mustn't forget to include Benny Powell and Nancy Bean on the list of those suffering from heart trouble. If John Carpenter were only a few years older, we know of at least one senior girl whg would really go for him. Isn't that right, Dot McGraw? IN THE LIBRARY fContinued from Page Sevenl lege, who spoke on Books As Our Friends. There were 1006 books checked out during September, an average of about 63 books a day. During October the circulation was slight- ly higher. There were 1596 books checked out in that month, an av- erage of '72 books a day. I 'i v - Q EQ During the last month thc staff has exchanged papers for the first time with Manual High, Louisville, Kentucky, Berea High, Berea, Kentucky, Durham Junior High, Durham, North CZIOIIIIHQ Western Kentucky State Teachers' Collegf. Bowling Green, Kentucky, Chester High, Chester, Pennsylvania, Clarksdale High, Clarksdale, Miss- issippig and Meridian High, Meri- dian, Mississippi. We hope that these papers will continue ex- changing with us. We notice that Paducah High has just given the comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, by Oliver Goldsmith.

I man- aged to get one, though not with- out a struggle. Then all went tto the Robert E. Lee Hotel for the convention dance .... As usual it quit about the time it got going good. Saturday morning, we heard a couple more addresses--Sylvan Hoffman on Opportunities in Trade Journalism and Thomas Stokes on Reporting Washing ton -and saw a show. Saturday afternoon, we attended another group meeting. The various papers were criticized, and were some of the editors' faces red. Went to Natural Bridge after that. It was very magnificent-that's the word, isn't it Mr. Huffman-but it was really too cold to enjoy it fully. Saturday evening the convention banquet was held.
