'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.

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.

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. One 10c Stamp will pay for OXYGEN- enough oxygen to keep a bomber pilot high above most enemy pursuit planes for 40 minutes. ' You are building for a bright future when you buy a War Bond or War Stamp. CALLING ALL SLEUTHS How observant are you? Perhaps you spend at least one hour in the auditorium each day, but can you answer these ques- tions? 1. What former superintendent's pic- ture is on the left side of the auditorium? 2. 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.

6 THE LOG October. 1942 - V PETROFF LEADS COUNCIL Owens Directs Band, Expert Cheer Leaders FRESHMEN EN DU RE In the first student councu Majorettes Replace Flag Twiriers 11...- Under the direction of Mr. W. H. Owens the D. H. S. band has started the '42 season with five new members, and has chosen a group of majorettes to take the place of the flag twirlers of last year. Lucy Freeman, Francis Cald- well, Betty Jane Dunn, Sara Edith Edwards, Charlotte Erskine, Erma Gilliam, Emma Lou Roy, Gloria Stephenson, Ann Sim- mons, and Barbara Armstrong were selected as the majorettes to appear with the marching band through-out the season. The sponsor, Margaret Arm- strong, retains the position she held last year, and J. E. Roy suc- ceeds Jimmy Phelps as drum major. The members of the band are Bill Ezell, Joe Strnad, Ray Van Hook, George White, trumpets, Mae Francis Burns, bell lyrag Peg- gy Carter, Bill Cinnamon, Mal- colm Cochran, Jerry Cundiff, clarinetsg Layton Creekmore, Charles Hedges, J eptha Jett, Bob- by Powell, saxophone, Burdis Gideon, Louis Strnad, George Wilson, trombonesg Jack Gray, Paul Holman, Sammy Dexter, horns, Robert Durham, tuba, Morse L. Marcum, baritoneg Jean Southwood, alto clarinet, John Hannah, Bill Blankenship, Bob May, Bob Shelton, Charles Pates, drums, Lee Guthrie, tuba. Inspire Students Cheer leading has become an art with Danville Hi's experts: Ethel Hill, Marian Wilkinson, Car- ol Ann Mannini, Fuzzy Dunn, Ray Chrisman, and Earl Bell. Carol Ann Mannini and Earl Bell joined the group in Septem- ber, having transferred to D. H. S. from other schools. Several yells have been added to the school list, and the leaders have worked out some clever formations and timing devices. Pep rallies have really gone over this fall, and the Admirals have responded to the cheer leaders' battle cry, Fight! Fight! Fight! Latin Club Started Officers Elected Organizing the first Latin Club in Danville High School, a group of Latin students met in Miss Edna Woford's room Tuesday October 13. Plans for the coming school year were made, and of- ficers were elected. Meetings will be conducted with the same form as a Roman senate. Officers chosen were D. Bandy, consul, Mary Jane Turley, praetor and aedileg Martha Pet- roff, scriptorg and Anna Clark Rogers, quaestor. Six lictors will be chosen to help with the pro- grams. To promote interest in the stu- dy of Latin and to learn more by its practical application to mod- ern life is the main purpose of the club. Latin games, songs and plays will be included in the pro- grams. The motto and password will be disclosed at a later date. It was decided that dues of ten cents per month will be required. This money will be used for re- HELL WEEK OF '42 Each year, just about the time the ninth grade students begin to feel rather important as fresh- men in high school, the digni- fied seniors think of Hell Week. For one whole week the fresh- men are at the seniors' beck and call. The period before the Ad- ,mirals toughest game is usually chosen, because the signs worn by freshmen help boost Admiral morale. D. H. S. plays Henry Clay October 16, so the week before is set aside as Hell Week. Freshman boys are often heard reciting lovely lines of poetry as they stand with their pants legs rolled up and their arms full of books. Of course the poem could not be the one over the office door, and all the books couldn't belong to some studious senior! Shining shoes is another service which the green little boys often render to the dignified ones. A strange but rather potent odor issued from the freshman girls home room one morning this week. Inside sat many rows of strange looking creatures with onions around their necks. They wore stocking caps, odd-looking clothes, which turned out to be dresses wrong side out, long cot- ton stockings, and half their gla- mour was missing as only one side of their faces were made-up. These beautiful damsels were of- ten accompanied by a hot dog tied to a string, and when pass- ing- a senior the freshmen were permitted'l to bark. Before the Henry Clay game the whole freshman class is to march up town with the band and give a few cheers for the Admirals. VVhen the game is over, Hell Week will be over too and meeting of the year held Septem- ber 6, officers were selected as follows: Martha Petroff, presi- dentg Leonard Southwood, vice- presidentg Dolly Bandy, secretary- treasurer. Mr. Young, sponsor, announced that meetings would be held Wed- nesday of each week.
