The Star Spangled Banner is our country's formal expression of national patriotism. It re- presents the unity for which we stand and commands honor and respect. Old Glory gallantly floating over Fort McHenry on September 13, 1814, caused Francis Scott Key to produce the immortal words of The Star Spangled Banner. Dur- ing the night of the bombardment, he was detained by the British for fear he might reveal their plans. By the dawn's early light he could see the Stars and Stripes waving triumphantly over the fort. Being overjoy- ed, he gave vent to his emotions by creat- ing this masterpiece, long to be remembered by the world. Whenever the national anthem is played anywhere persons belonging to the naval or armed service are present, all officers and enlisted men in uniform, covered, should salute at the first note of the anthem, re- taining the position of salute until the last note of the anthem has been played. If not in uniform, citizens should stand at at- tention facing the music except at colors, when they should face toward the colors. If not in uniform and covered, citizens should uncover at the first note of the anthem. No words should be spoken during the entire song. High school to pay homage represents the as Americans, tional anthem students should never forget to this beautiful hymn which unity of our country. We, should be proud of our na- which is known throughout the world. Disrespect to The Star Spangled Banner is disrespect to the United States.

ITIS I'll just let you have your day And old man pumpkin too, Cause he's going to be pumpkin pie And youill be turkey stew.

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.

Nearly every boy in school has tried the peroxide experiment, but all have found it unsuccessful. Hair tones ranged from a pinkish white to a livid red, and now, as the hair is slowly growing out, startling two-tone effects are developing. When Emma Lou Roy and Sarah Edith Edwards were asked their opinion on the male perioxide blondes, one of them replied, I think they look cute. Anything for a change! N9 one knows exactly how the Perioxide Plague started. mentf' Other boys had no choice in the matter. Milton Massey has this to say about his pink mop, One day I was in town when I saw James Wilkinson, George White, and a few others stalking me. Before I knew what was happening my head was wet with perioxide. The next day I was a blonde! If there is a boy in school that has not tried the experiment, here's the formula: eight tea- spoons of peroixide to one tea- spoon of ammonia. This is the Silliman-Settles formula, so see them if it is not effective!
