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.

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.

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.

These are just a few of the exclamations that are heard on the threshold of the library these days, for Miss Mary Adams and the Home Ec. Club girls have transformed the place. President Martha Curd, class of '42,'and her club members chose green and maroon for their scheme of decoration so the walls and bookshelves, which were painted this summer, show an in- teresting combination of these colors. Draperies and slipcovers echoing the same tones have just been completed by this year's ad- vanced home economics class. The small office adjoining the library has been converted into a cozy lounging room to be used by the girls of the school. Baugh and Garner Furniture Company donated a couch to be used in this room, and Freeman's Furniture Company gave an elec- tric lamp. Home Ec. Club girls obtained the money for these projects by sponsoring a cabaret dance, rum- mage sale, and a district lunch- OUR DAZE CContinued From Page Onel Signal Corps. Mike Hilton, who received his diploma by proxy, has been in the navy ten months. Two Danville High teachers are in the army, Mr. William Baker, band director, and Mr. Stanley Kozarski, head of the manual arts department. Friends and fel- low students wish them all the luck in the world. Ill if l if Ik Last year the students of Dan- ville High depended upon Jean Guthrie for everything. She was the editor of The Log and, though she graduated last year, she was glad to come back and help us get out our first edition this year. We are very grateful to Jean for showing us the ropes. ll 1 1 ii ak Hell Week, tradition in this school, has been solemnized these past few days. Anyone not- icing unusually clad students may refer to the seniors who are re- sponsible. Dinner Guest: Will you pass the nuts, professor? Absent-minded Professor: Yes, I suppose so, but I really should A FLASH BACK In eleven years The Log has taken a long step from a two page bulletin to the streamlined edi- tion of to-day. Calling the paper The Log, a ship's record, to harm- onize with our team's name, the Admirals, was the idea of Miss Virginia Bradley, sponsor, and Robert Wisner, first editor. After three years of successful penny-pinching, The Log was adjudged one of the three best school newspapers in the state. Its size increased until it was about as large as the Centre Col- lege Cento. At the first staff meeting in 1934 The Nautilus, the annual, and The Log were consolidated, and advertisements were permit- ted. It was decided that the sep- arate editions of The Log would be bound at the end of the school year to form an annual. This is still the policy of the journalism department. .-.
