Is it worth while to finish high school and have a year or two of college before entering the army? Will I ever be able to enter my chosen pro- fession? These are the questions that are asked by thousands of students in our schools to-day. These questions cannot be answered by an individual for our country is at war, and we do not know what the next few years will bring. Of course, many high schobl grad- uates will enter the service of their country next summer if they feel it is their duty to do so. Others will enter college to snatch a year or two of training before they receive Uncle Sam's call, but then they will be thinking, Is it worth while to go to college for just a year or two? It is essential to get all the education possible. It is even more necessary now than it ever was, for the boys who are asking these questions must realize they are the zmen, the government, the America of to- morrow. When this war is over, our country will need educated people in the great re- construction period. As one of the high school boys who hopes 'to graduate in 1943 and have time for, per- ihaps, two years of college before Uncle Sam -calls me, I say to the other fellows, Let's get what we can now, and complete our education after our country's great need for preservation has been met and peace has come again. ' ALFALFA TAKES SCHOOL Hilfi Stulfdents! No, your eyes aren't deceiving you for this is the language that is rapidly replacing English, known as Al- falfa Talk . And I do mean replacing! It has taken Danville High by storm. Alfalfa language is a remote cousin of pig Latin but is much more refined. For instance, school in pig Latin would be choo1sa and in t'Alfalfa it would be schoolfool . Obvious isn't it? It has been rumored that a class en- titled How to Speak the Cultural Langu- age of Alfalfa will be added to the curri- culum second semester. Teachers are said to be taking corres- pondence courses in this ultra modern lan- guage so they can understand their students' recitations. Welfel, I'lfil mulfust silfign olfof nowl- fow! Bilfiy! Catch on??? ROMANCE ON THE SHELF Once upon a time there lived in The Book House The Bad Boy who was fam- ous for his Pride and Prejudice. His little friend, Jane Eyre, and he played many in- teresting games including Reaching for the Stars, Listen, the Wind, War and Peace, and 'tWe. As they grew older and more in- telligent, they developed new and original games. Some of their favorites were Sense and Sensibility, Gentle Julia, and Heidi At Seventeen t'The Bad Boy said Goodbye, Mr. Chipsi' to his school master after having gone through Blood, Sweat and Tears with him and stepped Out of the Night into The New Mooni' in search of his Lady of the Lake. He had t'Travels Abroad Inside Latin Americaf' North of the Orient, and Inside Asial' which led him closer to a Garland for Girls. Later he changed his course to Westward Ho! Jane Eyre left her friends, the Little Women, in search of some Little Men. While traveling she met Jack and Jill Under the Lilacs. She became quite ro- mantic. The War at Sea disturbed her quiet life and caused her to be known as The Littlest Rebel. After long years Boy 'Meets Girl again, and the Good Shepherd was called to pro- nounce them man and wife In Uncle Tom's Cabin. They lived happily ever after in The House of Seven Gables.

To whom is the organ dedicated? 3. What famous painting of a president of the U. S. hangs on the right wall? 4. How many exit signs are there? 5. What class presented the poem over the office door? 6. How many sections of seats are there? 7. How many pictures are in the Hall of Fame? iAnswers on Page Seven! PRINCI PAL'S CORNER September 1942 has brought the boys and girls of this country back into school again, but under what different circum- stances from those of other years! For the first time in their lives they entered upon a new school term, with their nation and al- most the entire civilized world at war. The homes from which they come are serious homes this year, touched already by the sor- rows and sacrifices made necessary by this conflict. The students from those homes are beginning to realize too, that more and greater sacrifices are just around the corner, if we are to win the war and the peace that will follow. These young people know that there's work to be done and a peace to be won. They have a will to fit themselves to win this peace. They know their country must have strong men and women, ready and eag- er to take their places of maximum service in the days that lie ahead. They do not mean that the American way of life shall be lightly given up. Danville High School students are just a cross-section of America's youth. Six weeks of the new school year are gone-and al- most without exception our students are more serious, more thoughtful, and ready to use to a better advantage the precious school days that are theirs. Surely all your teachers can't be mistaken. They are unanimous in declaring that you have made the best be- ginning of any school year in their teach- ing experience. There certainly is a better school spirit, more respect and earnestness, and students show interest in trying to find the best place for themselves in the scheme of things. You have set the pace for the new year. When May of '43 rolls around, make it pos- sible for all to say that this school session ended as it began-the best in the memory of any of your teachers.

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!

October. 1942 ' THE LOG 5 TEACHERS JOIN FACULTY CContinued From Page Onel ty. Besides teaching girls' gym- nastics, she has seventh and eighth English classes. Mr. Callahan attended Univer- sity of Kentucky, Indiana Uni- versity, Kentucky Wesleyan Col- lege, and Colorado State College. He replaces Mr. Stanley Kozar-n ski, who is now serving in the United States Army and is sta- tioned at Bowman Field, Louis- ville. 'Mr. Callahan, director of the manual arts department, teaches mechanical drawing and manual training. He also con- ducts a special class from 7:30 A. M. until 10:30 A. M. The new band director, Mr. Owens, who succeeds Mr. David Farley, comes to Danville from Columbia, Kentucky. He receiv- edrhis B. S. in commerce at East- ern and attended the University of Ky. and the United States Military Academy. Mr. Owens al- so has charge of the commercial department and conducts typing and shorthand classes at Centre College. ' ?l Ethel M.: I can't find a single pin! Where do you suppose they all go, anyway? Miss Adams: That's hard to What-'s ln A Name ff f Our dauntless, daring, Danville eleven have many secrets hidden in the origin of their various nick- names. If we could only discover the reasons for some of these names, how interesting it would be! For instance, why is Captain Leonard Southwood called Ci'? We are told this name originated two summers ago at old Herring- ton Lake. , Why should anyone with such dash and skill on the football field, basketball court, and cinder track be called Dopey ? Could it have anything to do with Eng- lish class, Mr. Phelps? Charles Allen is called Lefty and Scooter . We understand 'tLefty , but why Scooter,'? James, alias 'tRed , Volner could not possibly be mistaken for any- one else, unless they had spilled a bottle of henna rinse. The Admiral's three, big, husky tackles have very sinister sound- ing names: Scar Kinniard, 'tZebe Montgomery, and Goon Silliman. Where do people find names like those? During the St. Augustine game did you hear anyone calling- Ellie Mae ? That was none oth- er than little Joe Young, they tell us. Why? Just ask Joe. All of Creekmore's buddies call him Satan , Of all things to call a good little boy like Layton! And where does Cyclone Brat- ton get his name? Ethel M. tells us it is because of his disposition. She ought to know! Some time ago everyone began to notice the resemblance between Jim Hughes and Dumbo , that cute little elephant with the big ears. Now, Hughes is Dumbo to his friends. Another end, Joe Blankinship, has been mysterious- ly nick-named Boomie . Why? Joe Frog-eyes Brummett, one of the back-field aces, has just acquired his name this season. Another t'Blue-jersey , Everett Crip Randall, tells us his name started after a leg injury last year. In conclusion, here is a little news you didnit know-George Wilder is a jitter-bug in his leis- ure time. How else would he get the name Pecker-necku? Junior Girl Reserves CDedicated to the Chem. Classb Allen, White, Bright, Blankinship Chosen To Lead Seniors At the first senior meeting held Tuesday, October 13, officers were elected and senior fees were dis- cussed.
