2 THE LOG I - manua rainin e ar men an r NEW SPETION the reinainder gwiilpbet madte intb SCHOLARSHIP A new addition to the gymnas- ium building, long desired, has been started. The foundation has been erected with F. E. R. A. funds this summer, and an appli- cation has been made by the city of Danville for P. W. A. funds to complete this addition. Application was made for 3547,- 000, 321,000 of which will be a direct gift, and 826,000 a loan. When finished, the building will be rented to the school board by the city for sixteen years and then it will become the property of the school. The changes on the gymnasium building will consist of remodeled north and west entrances, and a three-story addition in the rear. On the ground floor of the new addition will be a new domestic science department, with the book- store. The science department with new laboratories will occupy most of the second floor. The third floor v.'ill have a sound--proof band room and a vocal music room with a small stage. A part of the old home eco- nomics room will be added to the L O O K F O L K S for A Short Time Only Photo Poses Minutes 1 0 C We Enlarge Old Snapshots LOCATED 3 DOORS WEST OF POST OFFICE showers. As soon as this loan is complet- ed, a contract will be awarded to build the new addition. It was hoped that it would be ready to occupy at the end of the first se- mester, but a delay at government neadquarters ended that hope. It x-'ill probably be ready by the first of next year.

A small admission price will be charged and it is hoped that many- of the students will at- tend, since it will be especially in- teresting to science students.

The greatest scholastic honor that has come to a graduate of Danville High School in many years is the winning of the Jessie Preston Draper Memorial Scholar- ship to Harvard, by Welch Peel, graduate of the class of 'S5. This award, which includes all tuition, room, board, books, and other ex- penses, is particularly outstanding in that of the eleven awards made. Danville was the only town in Kentucky, the only town in the south, and the only small town high school to be represented. This honor was given on the basis of personal qualifications, scholastic records, and a competitive exam- ination. If the recipient makes good, the scholarship, slightly in- creased, is renewed for the suc- ceeding three years. While in Danville High School, Welch Peel was particularly active in extra-curricular activities. He was a member of the debate team for two years, associate editor of the Log, twice winner of the dis- trict extemporaneous speaking contest. and a member of the Dra- matic Club. He placed third in the state world history test in 1934, and was Senior Class Poet. He -'sn won first place in the National Scholastic Essay Contest in 1931 and was awarded the Rotary Scholarship to Centre. MONARCH CLEANERS DYERS .

Cummins Staff Extends Welcome to New- comers to Danville High School. The staff of The Log bids welcome to the students who are attending Danville High School for the first time. We hope you will not only enjoy, but will cherish the traditions which we, the upperclassmen and the former classes of Danville High School have built up. We hope that you will not only have a good time here but will support all the activities of our schoolg not only the football and basket- ball teams, but the band, the debate team, tht- music department, and the various clubs. These activities help not only to have a good time but to make a well rounded character. We hope that you will co-operate with the teachers and other officials in making ours a better school in every respect. Hour Periods Meet With General Pupil Approval. This year a change has been made in the general school schedule. Six one-hour periods have replaced the seven forty-five minute per- iods formerly used. The plan is to have about half' the time for recitation and the remainder for supervised study. This is an excellent idea and we hope that when everything is ad- justed, this plan will be followed. However, at present most Lot' the-time is being given to recitation. This plan is called the laboratory method of instruction. Books for the various classes are to be brought from the library to the classes mmknll x ll for special work. Then, while the pupils are in the class room, the teacher can supervise their study. This is in reality the best meth- od for the pupils and we hope that they will take advantage of this opportunity. High School Graduates Should Keep Up With Current History Every graduate of the high schools of today should be well versed in the matters of cur- rent world history. There is no excuse for them not to be. With the modern newspapers, the radio news dispatches, and present-day methods of quick communication, those who ieave hfgh school behind them should have a good idea of the things which are going on about them. History is in the making. What effect will the New Deal have on coming gen- erationfs? Things Mr. Cummins Didn't Know Until A Recent Test: That- Thomas Jefferson was the Great Pacifica- tor. The Revolutionary War started in 1812. The Confederate States made Robert E. Lee their President. Maryland was founded by William Penn. Samuel Adams is known as the Great Paci- ficator. Legal tender is a general search warrant. Blue Laws are the first ten amendments to the Constitution. ' William Penn is known for his military ser- vices to Plymouth. William McKinley was elected President in 1796. Buell, Bragg, and Early were British gen- erals. The Declaration of Independence was adopt- ed in 1869. The Civil War started in 1776. The Constitutional Convention was held in 1607. The second war with England came in 1607. Lincoln was made President in 1796. Henry Clay was the first Governor of Mas- sachusetts. Civil Service is ,a legal doctrine forbidding the imprisonment of a person without trial before a judge or jury. George Washington was a general in the Mexican War of 1846 and later became Presi- dent. In Washington's Administration, Congress created the Executive Department of Senate and Congress. George Karpis is a banker. Jerome Dean is a preacher. Allen Roy Dafoe is a sprinter. Joe Louis is a supreme court justice. T. A. Sanford is a gangster. Eddie Duchin is a wrestler. F. D. Roosevelt is the mayor of New City. Fritz Kreisler is a baseball player. York Albert Einstein is a prize fighter' Robert A. Millikan is a pianist. Principal's Corner Flash! The principal's corner this year will consist of short items instead of long- winded articles as in the past. The stu- dent body will probably arise and cheer in unison. The staff of the Log seems to have a lot of pep. Ad sales have gone over with a bang and news copy has come pouring in. Here's hoping the staff doesn't lose any of its enthusiasm. Students who took advantage of the library will find a wealth of new material on hand. New books and more magazines make the 1935 library at the high school just about the best ever. Members of the Log staff welcome contributions from other students. See that your material is of general interest, timely, and correctly written. You can tell la. member of the staff by the far-away look in his eyes. He is probably trying to fig- ure out a way to cover that assignment. The Admirals are set for a great year under the direction of a great coach. They ' are entitled to your support. How about a little volume on the cheering, boys? Favorite poem of the month: Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek headed men and such as sleep of nights. Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are danger- ous.
