Wednesday morning. The sales 2 THE LOG . November, 1942 Sludenls Hear Fredericks Recruiting Officer Aids School In Celebrating Navy Day, Oct. 27 Mr. J. J. Fredericks, chief gunner's mate, who is in charge of the Danville navy recruiting station, was guest speaker Tues- day morning, October 27, for a senior assembly in observance of Navy Day. With Mr. Fred- ericks was Mr. Vasin, yoeman in the United States Navy. 'KI want to explain to some of these youngsters what to expect should they enlist in the navy, was Mr. Fredericks' opening re- mark. 'KI feel sure that a num- ber of boys will enlist without waiting for the Selective Service Act, he added. Advantages of the thirty-three various trade schools were pointed out. For those boys who after to continue their education after high school he suggested class B- 1, a course reserved for young men who will go into officer's training upon graduation. But, he said, even though you do take the required course, special mental and physical tests must be passed before you may become an officer. ' Therefore, it is just as neces- sary for high school boys to develop their bodies as it is to broaden their minds. And he continued, if you do not pass both the aptitude and physical tests, you may see active duty as an apprentice seaman. Seventeen is the age limit, he ex- plained, and if you enlist at seventeen, you will remain in the navy until you are twenty one. If you, enlist at eighteen, the minimum time for which you may enlist is six years. Twelfth Grade Coplas?

V 2 I see the moon, The moon sees me, God bless the moon, God bless me. 1 3 The parting kiss you gave to me Was quite another thing, For I cannot be sure of you Until I have your ring. 4 I think you are so wonderful! It really seems unfair That for the love I offer you, You do not seem to care. 5 My true-love is tall and thing I could gaze for hours at him, But alas, I am forsaken For his dear heart is taken! 6 He said, 'Tm leaving, She said, Please don't,', He said, Don't believe me, I really won't.'I I've seen writhing clouds of war, And flashes of gun-fire, too, There's history in the making When bloody war clouds brew. 8 My puppy is a funny mutt, He wags from end to end, I guess it's 'cause his tail's so I short He cannot make it bend. 9 Thof. he doesn't know how to sing, And he doesn't know how to dance, To my heart he can bring Happiness by his glance. 10 As I watch the beautiful sunset, I think of many things, They are to me an answer, A prayer on silver wings. 11 You are like a fence I am like a post, You run all around And never stop at me. 12 As I lie sleepless on my pillow, Night after lonely night, My thoughts wander to where you are, Fighting for what is right.

Alvina Griffin Draws Gorgeous Gals For Admiring Students In the first period study hall an admiring group often sur- rounds a quiet, dark-haired girl, Alvina Griffin, who obligingly draws pictures of gorgeous gals for them. Alvina has a rare gift, artistic ability. Last year as a puzzled, retiring freshman from East End School, she did not show her pictures to anyone, but this year as a con- fident sophomore, she is the talk of the school. At present her ideas on careers! are vague and uncertain. However, dress designing interests her. Drawing 'toomphyn brunettes with movie star figures is her favorite pastime. Girls aren't her only models, for she can sketch any object that catches her fancy. Yet Alvina doesn't take art lessons, and her style is en- tirely her own. Her imagination is her only aid. She is happiest when she has a pencil, a drawing pad, and a vacant period. Do Your Room Over in KEN-TONE PASTEL SHADES I I Made By Sherwin-Williams Co. Ghesnut I- Saller - Best and Go.

November, 1942 THE LOG 3 Milk Sales Increase As New Program Is Tried In Schools A new milk-feeding program began, Monday, November 2, in the cafeterias of both white and colored schools of Danville for the purpose of maintaining the health of the school children. Milk is reduced from three cents a half pint to one cent. The difference in price will be paid jointly by the governmentand the cafeterias. Professor E. F. Birckhead, sup- erintendent of schools, asserted that the sale of milk has risen since the installation of the new plan. He feels that the program will be of the utmost value in maintaining the health of the school child. Every child will pay one cent for a half pint of milk, even if he is on the free feeding list. Mrs. Joe Dunn revealed that there was an increase of 180 half pints of milk sold per day in the Danville High School lunch room during the first week of the new program.
