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!

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.

The Admirals first scoring chance came in the opening min- utes of the game when a Frank- fort punt went out of bounds on their own 35. Phelps moved the ball to the Frankfort 10 in three plays. Southwood knifed 10 yards off right tackle for the marker. Later in the same period, Phelps went inside right end, reversed his field, and galloped 70 yards for another Danville touchdown. A Frankfort fumble, in the shadows of their own goal-posts. gave the Admirals their third scoring opportunity and Phelps made ample use of it, going off guard for the tally. In the second period Phelps again brought the crowd to their feet, when he circled right end and out ran five Panther tackles for 6 points that were nullified on Change Your Oil NOW SINGLAIR llreisler Motors 4 4 5 at The ir Well!

The tie 41 lk lk Pk Pls Our nominations for the All Star Team are Silliman, South- wood, Allen, and Kinnaird. Silli- man and Kinnaird have proved that they are two of the best tackles in the state. Southwood is considered the best quarter- back in our school's history and is a good ball-handler and blocker. Allen is a great passer and a fleet-footed runner. PF Pk lk Pk IF The Corbin game was the last for the following Admirals: Blank- inship, Wilder, ends, Sillliman, Kinnaird, Montgomery, tackles, Allen, Southwood, Ransdall, Cline, backs. These players will be sorely missed next year. a clipping penalty. Joe Brummett took the second half kick-off on his own 25 and raced 55 yards to Frankfortts 20 before being downed. Lefty Allen took the ball over on a reverse inside of his own left end. An automatic safety gave the Admirals two more points when Southwood blocked a Panther punt. Danville tallied twice in the fourth period: once on an end re- verse from Southwood to Allen, and again when Phelps drove through center for 35 yards and a touchdown, making the final score D. H. S. Admirals Win Over Madison, 25-7 In C. K. C. Game Danville amassed a 19 point lead the first half and held it throughout the game as they won over Madison High of Richmond 25-7 on the losers' gridiron in a C. K. C. encounter, November 6. The Admirals gained 391 yards to Madison's 142 and racked up 15 first downs to their 7. Madison kicked off and, after an exchange of punts, the Big Blues started their first drive. After Southwood, Allen, and Phelps had moved the ball from their own 17 to Richmond's 43, Allen took the ball on a reverse and passed to Southwood for the touchdown. Phelp's try for an extra point was bad. Late in the first quarter Phelps, on a cutback inside tackle, sped 44 yards for a tally. His kick for the point-after was wide. Danville scored once in the second period when Phelps' took the ball off-tackle and evaded the Purple's secondary for the third Admiral six-pointer.
