2 THE LOG October. 1942 DI-IS Receives New Students Many new students are rein- forcing Danville High's ranks this fall.

Lou- ise Barrett from Atlanta and Dorothy Soulerette from Alpine, Kentucky, have joined the girls. Billy Silliman, back from a year at Castle Heights, is doing his bit as dynamite tackle for the Ad- mirals, while Lige Falconer has returned from several years at Culver. Larry Euin from Union City and Claude Curtsinger from Parksville are also new members of the class of '43. Transfer students represent the Junior class in many activities. Earl Bell, one of the cheerleaders, is from Lafayette Hi, and has contributed some new yells. Mary Jane Turley from Murray, Ken- tucky, is aready noted for her good grades and is on The Log staff.

'I'1l say,' I'm bacon. -Scholastic Satisfying The Inner Man Eleven thirty by the clock, the shrill peal of a bell, a mad rush through the halls, and we find! ourselves in the D. H. S. lunchl room! When we arrive panting and disheveled, the faculty is already seated at their special table, calm- l ly enjoying their midday meall Mr, Henry CFlashJ Lair, surround-f ed by a bevy of attractive women teachers, is monopolizing thei conversation. The long lines of impatientf students move slowly toward thej 2 food laden tables. The seventh-I graders' eyes begin to bulge slightly as they gaze in wonder at the vast array of candies, cakes, pies, and soda-pop - forbidden fruits in the grade schools. Above the general hubbub, the righteously indignant voice of a monitor is heard. 'tHey you! G'wan back to the-end of the line. With an insolent stare the of- fending student blithely ignores the hand of the law and stands his ground. With this, the monitor goes meekly away to offer the same suggestion to a lower class- man who will respect his auth- orityf' After we reach the tables and make our selections, keeping in mind vitamins A B C D as well as a possible E F G and H, we bolt our food as rapidly as pos- sible. Finally, full, happy, and undis- ciplined we emerge from the lunch room to continue our quest for knowledge.

BEAT HEN RY CLAY TI-IE Loe GET MORE SCRAP VOLUME XIV DANVILLE. KENTUCKY, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 16. 1942 NUMBER 1 OUR DAZlE Time marches on! Another year brings co-editors to The Log who will present miniatures of school life in this column, Our Daze. ,lf if III IF if Room number 2 doesn't seem the same now. For many years it was occupied by Miss Pansy Dinkle, who was head of the English department. All students who had Miss Dinkle as an Eng- lish teacher should consider themselves very fortunate. i if ik if lk if 'LBeetle Toombs, an Admiral of days gone by, is back on the field again. Taking Mr. Soper's place as the reserve coach, he is turning out a tough squad of Baby Blues, that are a threat to any team. Beetle has become a by-word to the reserves. SF if 4' 1' 4' Four leading members of the senior class are away at school this year. Jessie Allen is taking both high school and college courses at Montreat College in North Carolina. Nancibel Riffe, a leader in the student council, is finishing high school at Kem- per Hall in Wisconsin. Jimmy Phelps, 1940 drum major, has moved to Dayton, Ohio. One of our cheer-leaders, Jimmy Stagg, is at school in Washington, D. C. preparing for the United States Military Academy. Good luck chums! 3 41 ik if Dk Last year Stratton Lee and Joan Farris, both juniors, were chosen laboratory assistants by Mr. Wof- ord. When this fall rolled around, Stratton had gone away to col- lege and Joan did not have a free period.

Citation For 9-3 Girls The 8-3 girls of 1941-42, who are the present 9-3 girls of Dan- ville High School could tell, if they would, how breaking a rule in school has won for them a cita- tion of appreciation from Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury of the United States government. Upon unanimous agreement last semester any girl reprimand- ed for unnecessary talking dur- ing class period paid one penny for the offense. These pennies grew into the amazing sum of five dollars which was invested in war stamps and sent to Wash- ington as a gift to help the gov- ernment slap the Japs and kick the Axis back to their own back yards. Talking out of turn in a class period, ordinarily, in any well regulated school, is a nuisance and a serious offense, but this notable class of girls has convert- ed a fault into a national asset. The names of these patriotic disturbers with their unquench- able flair for conversation can be learned from Ada Edmiston, secretary of the group. School Children Give Stacks Of Scrap ' On October 12 Danville city school children contributed six tons of scrap metal when they were admitted to a picture show sponsored by Mr. Richard Peffley, manager of the Kentucky Thea- tre. All schools were dismissed for the day to aid in the scrap metal drive that is being held rin the state. Many unusual and interesting articles were collected, ranging from a flint musket contributed by a student, to a five pound cow bell, the gift of one of the mem- bers of the Danville High School faculty. M. RO CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS At noon on Wednesday, October 7, the Ro Club held their annual election, selecting Lefty Allen as president for the school year. Mr. Boyd, the sponsor, an- nounced that the other officers chosen were Joe Blankinship, vice-president and Barrington Kinnaird, secretary-treasurer. The board of directors welcom- ed two new members, Lee Guth- rie and Carlton Brown. I Eight Teachers Join Faculty Sheehan, Tucker, Elliot, Callahan, Bright, Rosen, May, Owens Instruct Eight new teachers are added to the Danville High faculty this- fall. They are the Misses Janet Elliot, Anne Sheehan, Marjorie Bright, Mildred May, Ruth Tuck- er, Mrs. Elizabeth Rosen, Messrs, Lawrence Callahan and W. H. Owens. Miss Elliott, commerce teacher, attended Centre College and lat- er received her A. B. degree from Bowling Green Business College. Business English, added this year' to the commerce departments curriculum, is taught by Miss El- liot. Graduating from Centre Col- lege last year with a major in English, Miss Sheehan is now teaching her favorite subject in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. She also sponsors the Jun- ior Red Cross. Danville's supervisor of music, Miss Bright, comes from Stanford, Kentucky, where she was direct- or of music in Lincoln County Schools. She received her music- al training at Illinois Wesleyan College. Miss May, who taught in Maple Avenue School last year, is tak- ing Mr. Soper's place in the junior high school. She graduated from Eastern State Teacher's College in 1940 with a B. S. degree. After several years as teacher of English in Lebanon High School, Miss Tucker returns to Danville, her home town, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. R. F. Scudder's resignation. She holds an A. B. degree from the Univer- sity of Kentucky and an M. A. from Peabody College, Nashville. Mrs. Rosen succeeds Miss Mar- garet Penix as physical education instructor.

October. 1942 THE LOG 3. Marked Decrease Seen In Number Of Grads Attending College Only slightly more than one- fourth of Danville High's '42 graduates are continuing their education in colleges and univer- sities. This contrasts sharply with the forty-five percent which were enrolled in September 1941. Centre claimed thirteen of the '42 graduates. They are Jean Guthrie, Mary Ann Biles, Doro- thy Creekmore, Virginia Gilliam, Virginia Medaris, Betty Richard- son, Ann Ruth Smith, Geneva Rankin, Bud Rue, Carl Napps, Donald Martin, Sammy Leber, and Thomas Olerich. Attending the University of Kentucky are Cotton Wisner, Alan Frank, Robert Thurmond, and Hudson Nichols. Margaret Caldwell is taking nurse's training at the Good Sam- aritan Hospital in Lexington. Five graduates are enrolled in colleges and universities in the South: Stratton Lee, Agnes Scottg Doris Jean Frankel, Sophie New- come, Lucy Mitchell, Whittworth College, Zeke Dexter, Univer- sity of Tennessee, and Walter Hannah, VPI. In the service of our country are Raymond Betts, James Stev- enson, Mike Hilton, and Jimmy Bronaugh. Speed and Steve are in the Signal Corps, while the Navy has claimed Jimmy and Mike. Mrs. Fleece To Teach Bible In Schools Mrs. Charles L. Fleece of Campbellsville has been chosen to succeed Miss Mary McCann Hud- son as teacher of Bible in the city schools. D H S PORTRAIT Leonard Southwood Introducing the fellow that has a priority on extra curricular act- ivities - Leonard Southwood! Among the offices that he holds, We find, presidency of the student body, vice presidency of the Stu- dent Council, and captaincy .of the football team. Leonard, commonly known as C , has had a brilliant career as a D. H. S. athlete. He went out for football when he was in the eighth grade and has played on the reserve team two years and the varsity team for two years. He's the brains of the back- field , says Goon Silliman, pay- ing tribute to his captain. Basketball is right down C's alley, too, for he has played on the varsity team as forward for three years. Spring always finds him on the cinder track. Last year he placed first in high hurdles at the quad- rangular meet, and tied for first place in pole vaulting at Lexing- ton in the C. K. C. Books bore UC terribly, especi- ally those on required reading lists. In fact, he hasn't a good word for any high school subject except physics. t'There's sense to that,', he affirms. All movies appeal to him, and when Gene Tierney is at the State or Kentucky, so is HC . No Danville Hi girl has worn his class ring, but there are rum- ors that a cute little cheerleader of a rival school can almost throw him off his game . Upon graduation this year, he hopes to major in athletics and physics at University of Ken- tucky. That is, if Uncle Sam is willing. Miss Bradley: What do you think was the greatest accomp- lishment of the Romans?,' Melvin V.: I'd say it was being able to speak Latin. -Exchange Try this tongue twister: The skunk thunk the stump stunk and the stump thunk the skunk stunk. -Exchange Mrs. Rosen Secures Suits For Phys. Ed. Wearing new blue uniforms, the girls in Mrs. Rosen's physical ed- ucation department present an at- tractive picture on the field or in the gym. The uniforms give the girls a feeling of coordina- tion when they are playing, Mrs- Rosen affirms. Class teams have been formed in volley ball and long ball, and intramural contests will be held.. All students having vacant per- iods in the afternoon will be in-- vited to attend these contests. During the winter months bas- ketball will be taught according to girls' rules. At the close of the school year an exhibit will be held in which all the physical education classes. will take part. NUMEROLOGIST IN' LOVE I'm not appreci8edg I don't r8!
