THE LOG 3 Seen f . llihile 'lb i Roaming I O. 0. ltslsblfoster I Hello! Hello! Hello! Hold your hats, my friends, because here we go again. Lots of things have happened since I was last in your presincc. One of them was the Football Prom, which was quite a success. I heard many compli- ments on the decorations. This was largely duc to the efforts of Smit- ty and Murika. If you didn't see the operetta then consider yourseli' thrown for a loss. In my opinion. if that mzans anything, it ratzs four etars. To Miss Mathis goes the credit for directing L1 smooth pro- duction. Home of the is,-st singing and acting ever wltnassed at the lugh school was given by Irene and Whaitv in the leading roles. Clayton, portraying the stern ruler, 'ave the outward appearance of being very calm, hut jusl lcixwen me and you I could hfar his knees knocking' backstage. Mary, Helen, Barry, and Benny showifl they had spent much time an-l energy in urenaration. Archie was a cred- it to the English in his mastery of their accent. Charl-31te, playing opposite tim, besid's arting. gave exhibitions of dancing that would be worth a'iybody's money. Wil- iiam Thurmond was gracefully clumsy in the role of the proud GILCHER HOTEL A Good Hotel In A Good Town. SODAS AND LUNCHES chief of po.ic2. Norma and Mar- BELLE OF BAGDAD' X garet Ellen very ably played the part of Jewel's older sisters. Dot Marcum as a spinster was a scream. Get her to say Have you seen Henery, for you some time. To the remaining member of the cast Qstrange as it may seemj goes my cigar of the month. Jane Fant in taking Jean Marie's place at such a short notice was excellent. Even though I don't know what she will do with it, she surely deserves my mythical cigar. Did you know one of our belov- ed faculty mambers, namely, Mr. Foley, was mistaken for a high school lad. He didn't know wheth- er to feel complimented or insult- ed. Maybe it was the lfghts or the music of the dance. Anyway, when the girl comes back some- time LI hope she doesJ, she will be better informed. Now don't tell a soul, but Mr. Cummins asked Dot Marcum to ride on the front seat with him when he went over to the press conference. Editor Lee tried to bribe me not to go so that Susie could go. As much as I needed money, I couldn't be influenced. The feature of the. inaugural pa- rade was the Hnoiseless band, starring Danville High. It seems that the truck carrying the instru- ments got separated from the rest of the party. Anyway, they marched. Ask No1'ma the history of her five-year-old cane. Football is past history now and basketball holds the sportlight. The Admirals have a very tough schedule and need your support. Will I see you there? A bit of humor: Lillian W., Do you want me to draw you a pic- ture of it? Mr. Huffman, I didn't know you could draw any- thing but flies. I thought it was funny, anyhow. Try this on your friends. Be able to repeat this after having read it two times: Day by each and every how I get more as if so what. Don't look now but I have to be going. Tallyho! iContinued from Page Onel police, brought laughter each time he was seen. Additional mirth was added to the production by John W. Stigall, who amused the aud- ience with his portrayal of Archie Fitzgibbons, from old England. and by Dorothy Marcum, who rep- resented Henrietta Whipstitch, a romantic spinster. Jane Fant played thc part of Mrs. J. Horace McCann, American consul to Bagdad, and her daugh- ter, Elsa, was characte1'ized by Mary Munn, Elsa's comrade, Anne Blackwell, was played by Helen Preston. Clayton Anderson was the high Caliph, Hassan El Carib, who, fearing a camera bomb, had the Englishman arrested. Benny Powell and Barry Griflith, as two airplane mechanics, caught the real offender and proved him in- nocent. The Caliph's favorite daughter, Jewel, played by Irene Pope, turn- ed out to be the Belle The other two daughters of the Caliph were characterized by Margaret Ellen Smith and Norma McKinney. Charlotte Sale was Zelinda, an Oriental dancer of Bagdad, and provided a partner for Archie. Mr. Whalin. with his assistant. Lucille Singler, constructed one of the most beautiful stage settings ever assembled for a D. H. S. production. Miss Frances Bradley planned a colorful and effective array of costumes. Elizabeth Lococo contributed an acrobatic dance, while further en- tertainment was provided by the tap dancing duo of Madge Irvine and Charlotte Sale. Much credit is due Miss Cath- erine Mathis for her able supervis- ion and directorship in this pro- duction. Tho-se who assisted Miss Mathis were: Mr. Allen Edwards: Mr. Foley and his assistants, make-up: Willie D. Prather, lights: Gladiolus Vaught, postersg Miss Virginia Bradley, advertis- ing: Clayton Anderson, ticket sales: and Charlotte Stagg, prompter.

The program was sponsored by the Science Club. Mr. James discussed the prepar- ation of liquid air, and gave sev- eral demonstrations of its freez- ing ability, such as the freezing of rubber, wet cloth, and mercury. The liquid air was so cold that it would boil when placed on ice. Also, the pressure was great enough to run a small engine. He further went on to show the prac- tical uses of liquid air. This ex- hibition was thoroughly enjoyed by all of the students. Mr. James has given more than five thousand such performances. These performances have been witnessed by more than a million reople. liamsg American dancers-May Frances Guffcy, Ann Sheehan, Gladiolus Vaught, and Dolores Webber, slave-s-Bryce McMullen, William Perros, Charles Foley, Boyd Wiseg guards-Joe Lovell, Holman Jennings, Joe Hart, Ger- ald Cundiff, Kern Hamilton, Eu- gene McCowan, Guy Jones, Tony Marshall, Otis Tucker, and Philip Weissingerg natives-Mary Rus- sell Burton, Sara Brummet, Thelma Calhoun, Louise Guffey, George Silliman, and Ansel Sing- leton, tourists-Jeanne Adele Dollar, Ruth Massey, Boone Nichols, Katherine Elizabeth Poor.

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.

Margaret Ellen Smith, Madison Lee, Dorothy Marcum, Dick Fos- ter, Buford Guerrant, and sponsor S. R. Cummins were the ofiicial representatives of The Log at the annual meeting of The Ken- tucky High School Press Associa- tion, held at the University of Kentucky on December 13 and 14. Associate editor Smith was state president of the Association. Others from Danville who at- tended some of the sessions were May Frances Guffey, Linelle Ham- ilton. Jack Guerrant, Mary Rus- sell Burton, and Clifton Anderson. More than eighty-five students, representing twenty-five high schools from all over Kentucky, attended the meeting..

Even the weather is in- vigorating. The air is cold and crisp, and per- haps filled with soft snow fluttering lightly to the ground. Gayly decorated shops are filled with hurried but happy shoppers, and with children hopefully inspecting toys. Wreaths of holly and mistletoe brighten door- ways that lead to warm and cozy rooms, with open fires crackling cheerfully. Munching big red apples or delicious candies, one is con- scious of the spicy odors of baking cakes and pies. Amid the fragrant scent of evergreens, the tree is decorated with glittering tinsel and brightly shining balls of red, blue, and gold. The many colored lights cast a soft glow over all, and a star shines from the topmost limb. The happy family admires its handiwork, while the children's eyes shine in anticipation of the coming visit from Santa Claus. Then the best Christmas story of all is read together, and Christmas carols are softly sung .... These same age-old customs still br.ng new joys to the world. Amid all the festivities, let's not forget to help others who are less fortunate, and though it's been said before, let's remfmber the true meaning of Christmas. Will Happy Chandler Be Able to Keep His Promise to the Schools? About forty thousand people witnessed the inauguration of Albert Benjamin Happy Chandler, of Versailles, as the forty-sixth governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The inauguration brought to an end one of the bitterest gubernatorial election in the history of Kentucky. Mr. Chandler, winner over Judge Swope by a large majority, reaf- firmed in his inaugural address the pledges made by him during his pre-election cam- paign. All Kentucky, and the rest of the United States too, is waiting to see what suc- cess HapPy will have, and how well he will be able to keep his pledges. Those who are connected with education are particularly anxious to see if he will maintain his promise of adequate appropriations for the public schools. During the next four years, history will be in the making. Since we have a box seat, let's keep up with events as' they occur. ,-EL...-T The Half Half of the game was over. With one ac- cord, the crowd surged for refreshments. People crowded around the stand, trying to shove in front of others. A clamor arose on all sides, Paddlepop for me! Coupla hot- dogs! , Gimme a bottle of coke! Mr. Allen and his helpers worked frantically, and the crowd bawled lustily, Hurry up there! Get a move on, in front! A couple of kids shot through the medley, nearly bowling over a dignified old gentleman with spectacles. The crowd behind him pushed him forward, some- one in front lunged out, and he was knocked backward again. He emerged from the mess, looking less dignified, and with nothing. He had given up the hope of buying anything, and had managed to edge out, Meanwhile, the crowd yelled on. A young man, immaculately attired, stood waiting patiently for his turn. A careless hand swiped a paddlepop down his clean shirt front, leaving a dirty smudge. He lost his temper, and the little girl in front ex- claimed in a shocked voice, Mama, he said a bad word! Shoving, pushing, yelling, stamp- ing, the crowd receded. A limp Mr. Allen wearily handed out a last demand. He sank down on the counter, mapped his brow. and observed, And this is a civilized town! Principafs Corner Danville High students who have not seen the plans for the new addition to the gymnasium building do not know what a modern and up-to-date group of class- rooms and laboratories we will soon have. The Public Works Administration is spend- ing a lot of money in Kentucky and a large slice of it is going into school buildings. We know of no better way to spend it. The next time you see a school board member or a member of the council, old or new, thank him for the part he played in help- ing to improve our school plant. Congratulations to the boys who made the All-Southern and All-State teams. The 1935 Admirals couldn't win all of their games but many fine football players were on the squad. We're going to miss those fifteen gridders who have worn the foot- ball blue for the last time. We're from Missouri, team of '36! You're going to have to show us something. Don't study much during the holidays Kas if you wouldll, but don't forget that exams are just around the corner, They start on January 7, following what will probably be a week of hectic review. It is extremely important that every student in Danville High school get back into school on January 1 and avail himself of this pre- exam work. The passing or failing of a large number of students may depend on the characte.r of the work done during this review period. If any more column material appears in our newspaper copy, we are going to have to appoint a columns columnist to wisecrack at the columnists' columns Flash-John Doe, who this week won the five dollar first prize in the thrift contest sponsored by the Citizens National Bank, has just invested his money in a Xmas present for his best girl.
