THE LOG 5 LIBRARY NOTES One of the most outstanding ad- ditions to our library is the four- teenth edition of the Britannica Encyclopedia. It excels all the other editions in its up-to-date in- formation, attractive arrangement, and lovely illustrations. The vol- umes containing art and architec- ture are especially illustrated well. Make use of this new set of volumes. Several new, well known maga- zines have been added, such as: American Home, Boy's Life, Hygeia, Industrial Arts and Vo- cational Education, Reader's Di- gest, Scribner's Magazine, and Time. New magazine shelves have been built to accommodate these. During the recent months, Jun- ior Literary Guild books have been placed upon the shelves. They are as follows: Kiyooka-Chiyo's Return. Sickels-In Calico and Crinoline. Grey-Young Walter Scott. Ransome-The Coat Club. Hubbard-Wolf Song. Flohedty -Guardsmen of the Coast. Pease-Wind in the Rigging. l Sail Set. Sperry-All has received gifts G. Sandifer, Miss and others. We ap- gifts very much in- deed. The number of books in the library is now more than 2,350. The standards of the Southern As- sociation of Colleges and Second- ary Schools require us to have at least 2,500 books, and we feel that this goal will soon be reached. The library from Mrs. H.

The following officers were elected: Margaret Cheek. president, Linelle Hamilton, vice- presidentg Jean Marie McConnell, secretary, Sara Lee, treasurer, May Frances Guffey, pianist, Margaret Ellen Smith, song lead- erg Pauline Smith, reporter. There are approximately sixty girls ir the club this y-ear. On the follow- ing Wednesday after the first meeting, the club went on a hike which was sponsored by Miss Hagan, the faculty advisor. JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES The Junior Girl Reserves held their first meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 18, with Miss Lanier as their sponsor. The fol- lowing officers were elected: Dor- othea Hollingsworth, president: Ethel Duncan, vice-president helen Fetterman, secretary and treasurer. About fifty girls attend- ed the meeting. lightful to use. Unrolling the Map was born during a storm. Mr. and Mrs. Outhwaite were sailing around the Atlantic in their little schooner, Kinkajou in 1929. Just as they passed out of the English Chan- nel into the sea off the Bay- of Bis- cay, one of those terrific October gales struck them. This gale de- veloped into a hurricane, which lasted for eight long days. Out of their experiences during that time came the inspiration for Unroll- ing the Map. Mr. Outhwaite learned what it was like to be in a small ship in a great storm and that the world must have looked like to early sailors and explorers. He followed the course that the Portuguese had taken in the 15th century to the islands and 'to Africa, crossed to the West Indies on a course that Columbus had once followed. Through his travels he was able to understand, more and more, the difficulties and ex- periences of an explorerg and therefore, he has been able to write about their ventures with understanding and interest. Complete plans for the organi- zation and for the year's program of the Senior Dramatic Club have been made but will not be an- nounced until the new members have been initiated into the club. Tryouts for all those interested in any of the different phases of dra- niatics, such as acting, stage craft, n ake-up, and business details were held last week. Competition for admittance into the club this year has been unusually keen because of the large number of eleventh and twelfth graders interested in dramatics. After the new members have been chosen, they will meet with the veteran members of the club to elect officers, to select a new name, and to hear the program for the year outlined by the fac- ulty adviser, Mr. Foley. As soon as the club is organized, rehearsals for the fall play, the name of which is being withheld from pub- lication until a later date, will start at once. SENIOR RAMBLINGS School this year opened with a bang, so the females of the school thought. Every way you turn, you run into one of those ' it ' girls with bangs. They can't see where they're going, so they bump into you and then yell into your near- est ear, Why can't you watch where you're going? Oh, they're just more women for you. There is something else that is very troublesome down here this year. It's all these seventh grad- ers running around. I just found out that they' really are in the --pventh grade and that they are not the kindergarten turned out to visit us. One teacher went so far as to ask one of the little lassies her name so he could locate her big sister for her. He thought she had come to see what high school was like on the first day and had gotten lost. It'-s Quite a big let down. isn't it kiddies? Brace up, this is our one big senior priv- ilege. We've been looking forward to this year for five years and now that we're here. all we get is the fun looking down upon the lower classmen fthey don't respect us, howeverl. We find out, too, that in English we can't make an A. What do they think we seniors girls are, Englishmen? They certainly did dress up the west hall for the opening of school this year. Three of the rooms have new desks that are so beautiful and shiny you're almost afraid to sit down on them. Speaking of new things reminds me of our new teachers but they're really a part of dear old D. H. S. It's great to have a change once in a while, isn't it? Now really, don't take these ramblingq and mumblings of a brand new senior seriously because we think, just as all the rest of the school does, that this is going to be one of the best years at D. H. S. Let's go after things in a bigger way and make Danville Hi the best school of all.

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.

6 SEVEN GRADUATE FROM '34 TEAM Prospects For 1935 Season Look Good The Big Blue Admirals, when they made their appearance on the gridiron against Stanford, Septem- ber 20, were without seven regu- lars of last year's team. The vac- ancies left by Cundiff, Williams, Gregory, Powell, McBeath, South- wood, and Hendren will be replac- ed by the remnants of last year's squad. This year's team will be built around Joc Brown, all-state cen- terg Horace Hendren, veteran guard: Jack Lunsford, mentioned for all-state tackle, and Ralph Love, experienced wingmang and Carlyle Johnson, shifted from end to backfield. Among this year's candidates, the best prospects to fill last year's vacancies are Frankel, Ferrell, and Leathers in the lineg and Allen, In- man, Foster and Kapralis in the backfield. The remaining schedule for the year is as follows: Corbin-Sept. 27, here. Night game. Manual-Oct. 5, there. Lebanon-Oct. 11, here. Night game. Somerset-Oct. 18, here. Lexington-Oct. 25, there. Male-Nov. 1, here. Middlesboro-Nov. 9, there. Richmond-Nov. 15, there. St. Xavier-Nov. 22, here. ATHl.ETlC DEFT. is lmrnovlzn Gridiron Widened. More Seats Built, Showers Added Each year brings improvements to the athletic department of the Danville High School. Workmcn have been busy building grand- stands to accommodate as many as 2500 football fans who are ex- pected to see the home games of the Admirals in this 1935 football season. In the west stand, a press box has been built to protect re- porters from blazing sun rays and cold night rains. In the east stand. THE LOG a new and larger bandstand has been built to accommodate the members of a young, but exper- ienced band. Probably the most outstanding .nent is the widening of the gridiron. This will prevent the players from running or being pushed into the stands, injuring themselves as well as spectators. In the dressing room, showers have been intalled for the coaches and officials. This is a thing that only the most up-to-date schools in the state have. New and much needed drainage tiles and pipe-s have been put in the dressing room to prevent the rehappenings of a few years ago when the sturdy Admirals were almost washed away. These, with a few minor im- provements, give Danville one of the best outfitted gridirons and dressing rooms in the state. EARL RUBY, C-J columnist, has this to say: You Danville cit- izens asked for competition and your reporter begs to report it will be supplied in three large doses, one labeled Manual, one Male, and one St. X .... Beat these three and take undisputed possession of the crown of the Commonwealth. ADNHRALS DEF EAT STANFORD ELEVEN Stanford Lads Out Punt Locals But Go Down to 34-0 Defeat Thirty-two of coach Mountjoy's fighting Admirals made their ap- pearance on the gridiron last Thursday to defeat the Stanford team by a score of 34-0. The most spectacular playin the game came in the first minute, when, on a lateral from Allen to Inman, Danville scored six points. Then, making the extra point, the Admirals led 7-0. Later in the quarter, Love lateraled to Inman for 60 yards and a touchdown. In the second quarter, Young, an eighth grader, made a forty-five yard run that almost scored a touchdown. Two plays later he completed his march for the third six points of the game. Inman later made a touchdown, leaving the score 26-0 as the half ended. Frankel, blocking a punt, scored two points for a safety. The greater part of this quarter was taken up by the players booting the pigskin up and down the field. Johnson showed his speed in the final quarter when he ran 42 g F. Wf: ACOACI-I'S CORNER WO0LWORTH CO. The Danville High School Athletic Association has gone to tre- mendous expense to make the football field attractive and comfort- able for its patrons. There have been quite a few changes made in the field last spring. It has been widened on the east side fifty-five feet by filling in. The playing space has been moved over to twelve feet from the west fence. The playing space last year was eight and one-half feet less than regulation width. This year the field has been widened to regulation width. A public address system has been installed on the West side of the field. All in all, w-e present a regulation field with seats for approximately 2,600 people. We have a wonderful home schedule and a good team. All of this must be paid for with the profits of the Athletic As- sociation. Please do your part in getting a crowd out for every game. Every student in school can help by supporting the Pep Club. Buy your pencils from its members. If you cannot find anyone sell- ing them, go to Mr. Allen. Buy your candy, pop, and ice cream from the Pep Club at the games. All of the profits of the Pep Clllb go for buying sweaters for the letter men. It's a sign of loyalty to have a schedule pencil. yards for a touchdown. Stanford outkicked Danville by a considerable margin, gaining 555 yard-s for an average of 4254: yards while Danville's distance was 370 yards for an average of 37 yards. Danville overshadowed this. however in scrimmage, gaining 329 yards and losing 6, to Stan- ford's eighty yards gain and 35 yards loss. Penalties were: Dan- ville, 85 yards: Stanford, 30 yards. First downs were: Danville, 7g Stanford, 2. Newland and J. Holtz- claw were the outstanding players for Stanford. Inman and Young played best for Danville. D. H. S.
