MHt'Rflr HU-Rffit: KMHRAH! fHnttn Fidelity; Fraternity iFomiuirfc N the publishing of the Medley, the real purpose is to establish a medium between the student body of the Danville High School and the public interested in its actions. Considering the fact that the first Medley was printed but three years ago, in the spring of nineteen hundred and four, and the approval with which it has been received upon publication since that time, we feel that the Medley will soon come up to the highest expectations. It is also well to keep in mind that the reputation of this or any other high school is raised or lowered by the annual which it presents—thus, a heavy responsibility rests upon those composing the Medley staff, in that they must keep the standard of the Danville High School above par, by editing an interesting and well-balanced annual. In the 1907 Medley, we are conscious of the fact that all the above requirements have not been fulfilled, but at the same time we have strixcn to that end and have always given precedence to anything which will add to the welfare of the school. Prior to the year nineteen hundred and seven, the Medley has been the solitary publication issued by high school students. The question of having a monthly paper published has often been debated upon and pronounced to be impossible, but our principal kept things moving in that direction, until his object has been achieved. “The Maroon and White, a publication “by the students and for the students,” will appear before the close of the year. It will tend to promulgate a closer fraternal feeling between the students, strengthen the influence of the school, and act as a splendid teaming school for the publishing of the Medley. Any who have aided in some way, no matter how much or how little, in the production of this volume, have our sincere thanks and our deepest gratitude. As we move aside to make room for the next class, there is that sense of satisfaction that comes of doing a good work and making it easier for those coming after. The Medley Staff.

McFarland 10 1 9 iFarultij ora Mayo Smith, for two years principal of our high school, has in that short length of time gained a position in the hearts and minds of the student body which has never been accorded to any man before him. His untiring energy, which has characterized his work in the D. H. S., has been a constant companion throughout his whole life. In 1896 he entered De Pauw Academy, and by 1898 he had finished the four years’ course, despite the fact that he was working his way through college. The next fall, he entered the De Pauw University, was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, and editor-in-chief of the De Pauw Mirage in his senior year. By virtue of his craving of hard work, and lots of it, he secured the Bachelor of Arts degree in three years. Throughout his college career, he established a record for being one of the most conscientious and consistent workers, and this trait has remained with him, an ever present factor in his daily life. His deep insight of human nature and squareness have won the love and respect of till the students. Mary D. Hawkin’s resignation from the faculty has deprived the school of the -services of the most thorough instructor in mathematics who has ever taught in D. H. S. It was her thoroughness and energy which proved her undoing, for in the latter part of March, 1907, her eyes began to fail and she was compelled to abandon her school work and take a long-delayed rest. During her fifteen years of faithful service, she has worked for the best interests of the students, teachers and school. In Samuel C. Sayers, the Danville High School has one of the best science teachers in this part of Illinois. Mr. Sayers received the Bachelor of Science degree from De Pauw University, and after graduating, came direct to this city. His excellent method of teaching chemistry and physics has made the sciences much more easily understood and instructive to the student than ever before. Clara Louise Ross is a graduate of Mt. Vernon High School, Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and of the Lake Forest University. As instructor in higher Latin, she has been careful and painstaking in every detail, and has put her whole heart into the advancement of that “anciente ande goode studyie of Latyn.” Further broadened by a trip in Europe, last summer, she has mixed the old and the new in such porportions as to fully maintain, to her honor, the prestige of Latin over all languages d' ad or alive. 11 Flavilla Grant,— Confidante of the Seniors, god-mother to the Freshmen,” has the confidence and respect of every student of the Danville High School. Perhaps no one in the faculty has done as much as she, in shaping the lives and ambitions of the pupils, as they have entered as Freshmen, and continuing until they have graduated. Miss Grant is an alumnus of the Danville High School and Fort Worth University. In giving so much of her time to assist the Senior classes— in drilling their plays and chaperoning the invariably rainy picnics—she has the love and good-fellowship of the '07 class and all those before it. Roscoe Myrl Ihrig, in spite of his unimpeachable German pronunciation and his German jokes is a native of Ohio. He graduated from the University of Worcester in ’( 1, with the Ph. B. degree. As an instructor in the German language, he has been connected with D. H. S. since the fall of ’03. Possessing considerable musical talent, he has successfully organized and conducted the various mandolin clubs, orchestras and bands, of the past four years, and has assisted with the ’05 and ‘07 minstrel shows. Miss Anne Chester came to Danville three years ago, as an alumnus of Champaign High School and the University of Illinois. Her value was quickly recognized in the grade schools and she was given the higher English classes in the Danville High School. Through her zealous efforts, the English course has become more popular than ever. Miss Edna White, who has charge of the Domestic Science department— the prep, school of matrimony,” is a graduate in the Domestic Science course from the University of Illinois. After a few years’ work in the southern part of the state, she came to Danville, where she has done wonders in making Domestic Science one of the most interesting of the selective studies. 12 Frances Pearson Meeks is a graduate of Danville High School, Illinois Wesleyan University, Michigan State Normal and Cornell University. Her broad training and broad-minded views have made of her an ideal rhetoric and history teacher. Mrs. Mocks has been a potent factor in keeping up the standard of the school, along literary and historical lines. Rhue Myrtle Miller, like Miss McFarland, is a graduate of Danville High School and Chicago University. She made an extensive tour in F.urope and took post-graduate work in the University of Berlin. Her congeniality and sympathetic nature have gained her a warm spot in the heart of every student, Teutonic or otherwise. Elizabeth Mace McFarland came direct from Chicago University in nineteen hundred and five, to take charge of the mathematics department at Danville High School. Her new life and vigor have brought out the brighter side of algebra and geometry, to the relief of the struggling student. As chaperon at parties, she is resourceful and jolly. She had charge of staging the '07 Senior play. Miss Fleda Cooper—To fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Miss Hawkins, Miss Fleda Cooper was chosen, by virtue of her work in D. H. S. during the fall semester. She graduated from De Pauw University with honors in '05, and has been connected with Danville schools since that time. She has charge at present, of beginning English and algebra; during last fall, of physiology and physiography. 13 (Hhr filrMni § taff Editor-in-Chief Homer Chapin Wick Business Manager Melvin Leo Hole Assistant Business Managers T.

William Conron 1C iijistnnj of tlir (Ulass of 190r N the year nineteen hundred and three, we, the Class of 1907, made our first appearance within the portals of the Danville High School. Now, the entrance of this body, be it remembered, was not heralded by any signs or manifestations, or unusual phenomena of nature, neither was it marked by atmospheric disturbances—superheated or otherwise. The year nineteen hundred and three merely marked the advent of a number of unassuming Freshmen. Our first year passed quickly and uneventfully, since we preferred studiously applying ourselves to the scheduled studies and to watching the doings of the upper classmen. Our taking third in the inter-class track meet with twelve points, while the Sophs had to be content with fourth place, occasioned a little favorable comment, but we were still young. 'Twas on the eve of the first Thursday in February, 1905, that the '0? class was organized, as a fraternal body, and the class voted to support green and white as the colors. From that time forward the class has made its presence felt and respected in every branch of high school activity. Champions sprang up on every side. Athletics, the rival literary societies, the minstrels, musical organizations, society, all felt our new strength. Did not that invincible and mighty warrior, “Trent” Fox, arise in his full glory and power? Did not “Tea Bill” Conron make his voice heard and his presence felt before the assembled thousands? These and many others have helped to make our class famous in ballad and legend. In our junior year, we elected Melvin L. Hole to guide our footsteps into the paths of celebrity. He acquitted himself favorably, and so convinced everyone that lie was the “Hole” thing, that he was again chosen for the same position in his senior year. ()ne of the brilliant spots in the history of our class is the excellent showing made in athletics. Six '07 men—Farnum, Fox, Ferris, Hole, Snyder and Cannady—formed the backbone of the varsity football team last year. We have gladly sent our quota, each year, to the track team, and they have never given us cause to be ashamed. Altho baseball does not occupy the place which it ought in the athletics of the high school, the '07 nine will probably win the inter-class championship. Not to be forgotten is our inter-class championship in basket ball, and one “Chuck” Ferris, '07, tennis champion of the school in 1906. 17 But not all the deeds of ’07 are confined to athletics. Many of the dramatic and literary luminaries from our ranks have risen above the horizon of ordinary literary attainment and have served as guiding stars to the struggling lower class-men. Also, our class early took a prominent position in the high school social world, and has continued to lead from that time. To enumerate the many and varied gatherings and festal occasions, would require far too much time and space, and would probably tire our dear reader. Let it suffice, however, that our social successes have bound us closer together and established a fraternal feeling, which has characterized our every act. But now, comes the greatest problem of our career! The whole world lies before us—a desolate spectacle or a rosy-hued region of blissful-felicity according to our individual ideas. We will soon be widely scattered and the class as a unit will exist only in name, but undoubtedly our fondest remembrances and most pleasing thoughts will always be associated with the class of '07; and tho the pain of parting be keenly felt, nevertheless, we should enter the world before us with that buoyancy of spirit and strength of purpose that becomes the explorer. As we leave, we feel with satisfaction that the class of 1007 has developed in character, as a class and as individuals of which it is composed: has established new precedents and maintained the old: has in fact, done all a class, loyal to itself and to its Alma Mater, could do. 18 MELVIN LEO HOLE Junior Class President. ’05-’06; Senior Class President. ’06-’07; Foot Ball Team, ’0(5; Track Team. ’05; Class 1'rack Team, ’05-’06; Basket Ball Team. ’07; Class Basket Ball Team. ’07: Base Ball Team.

Accordingly, as Freshmen, we attended strictly to business, pretty nearly worked our heads off, and made a record for all our successors. As was customary, we organized when Sophomores, choos-'ng the colors, “Old Gold and Blue,” and also some good class officers. During our second year in D. H. S., we held our own with the other classes in every lespect,—in athletics, in literary and school work. As Sophomores, our Girl’s I’.askct Hall team was the champion of the high school, and that year the high school team was champion of Eastern Illinois. Our class track team won the inter-class track meet in ’06 by a terribly convincing score. W e have made even better Juniors than Sophomores, which is “straight goods.” ()ur track team dupl’cated the trick of last spring, by again taking the inter-class meet. Five 'OK men—Sandusky, McCord, Watson, Oswald and Albert Becker, won D s on the foot ball team last fall. Neither have we been idle along literary lines, for five persons who won points on the literary contest this year, were members of our class. Demosthenes and Cicero could not hold a candle to our orators and stump-speakers. On Friday evening, December 1, 1000, we entertained the Class of 1607, at the grandest reception ever given by a Junior class. In fact, we are as good in one thing as in the other, and we are good in everything. As Seniors, we intend to do our best to ra:se the standard of the D. II. S.. and we hope to publish a Medley that, without a voice, will speak fluently for the Class of 1008. a I s. ’HB fflrfileg OS W A LD B EC KER___________________________Ed i tor-in -Chief HAROLD GREENEBAUM_____________________________Business Manager EARL M.

As it was too early for us to take part on the literary programs, we turned our minds to athletics, in which we won the inter-class base ball championship, and Kinning-ham and Brown both broke school records in the discus hurl and mile run, respectively, on the track team. Many delightful entertainments, such as hay-rack rides, masquerade parties and picnics were given duiing the first year, and we grew to know each other pretty well. Slowly the Freshmen year passed, and at last, the joyful day came, when the members of the ’09 class became Sophomores. After electing officers to guide our wandering steps, we decided to begin the festivities of the year by giving a hay-rack ride on September twenty-eight, nineteen hundred and six. However, when the appointed day came, the weather man proved hostile to our carefully laid plans, and we were forced to take our ride on the trolley cars. Since that time, we have had two rousing big “good times”—the first at the home of Miss Helen Barger, and the last at Miss Reva Hoff’s. During the year, the Sophomores have participated energetically in the many and varied social, literary and athletic events of the high school life. We are now looking forward, with enthusiasm, to the Junior year, which is slowly, but surely drawing nearer. Throughout that year and the next, we hope to inscribe on the fair, white pages of the future, a record, as brilliant as that of any of our predecessors, and to “Make undying music in the world.” 35 Frank Brazleton Margaret lialsley Helen Barger Oliver Brown On a Barnett Mamie Beagle Harry Cessna Hazel Bohn Will Cooper Lena Briley Helen Cates Everett Dalby Eva Carter Ira Jones Helen Clarkson Carl Douglas Clara Coddington Mary Hague Judd Faurott Fern Daringer Marion Ferris Marian Dull Lizzie Dwyer Eddie Harper Meta Elliott Forrest I Iolmes Mabel Frazee Lorene Gillock Bernard Huff Gertrude Hart Myrtle Hathaway Nclle Hill Leva 11 off Austin King Beryl Jones Lulu Lane Walter Martens Sayle McCord Ruth McCracken Oscar Mills Emma McElwain Edith Neblick Fred Misch Elsie Parrish Ruth Pen well Dwight Pankey Esther Sffiatz Lilian Schultz Raymond South worth May Slaughter Gladys Smith Regina Strauss Harold Wolford Lovia Thomas Eileen Tobey Jeanette Van Frank Ralph Yeager Ruth Williams Ruth Worth Lura Young Alan Macdonald I (UlaflH nf Ninetmt iJhutftrrft ant Officers WALTER B.

If members have anything to do with admittance to the under world, the Freshmen will surely reach their destination, for their members aggregate nearly two hundred souls. This is one of the largest, if not the largest first year class which has ever been enrolled, which goes to prove that the Class of 1010 is all to the good when it comes to counting noses. But this is not all. For have not two of her men—Carter, of the tawny locks, and Kiningham, with the shape of a Chicago ward-boss, broken records in the shot-put and the discus throw? Even the mighty and vain-glorious Seniors were compelled to take the dust of the Freshmen track team, who beat them out of last place by three points. When it comes to the national game—good old base ball—each Freshman is Finnegan the Fine Boy. Within the last few years, the Freshmen have been putting out some nice base ball teams, and this year, the team is nicer than ever. Strong at the bat, in the field, and having a nifty battery, they certainly look good for the first money. Their only hinderance is the Senior nine and a few weeks’ time will prove which is the better. The TO basket ball team made a good showing, and landed well up on the per centage column. There is more to come, however. Even if they (the Young Ones) have not been allowed to show their talent on literary programs, some of them have been useful in shifting the scenery in the Senior plays, which is a good work. From reports, we find that the Freshmen have left a record for their social activity. Their solitary party was a great success, except that their president was not there to preside. Having been kidnapped on his way to the festivities, by a bunch of upper classmen, he felt that his presence was not needed. In the face of all these set-backs, the Freshmen class has emerged with colors flying, and, have made good with the faculty and students. If all the succeeding Freshmen classes he as loyal and zealous as the Class of 1910, then we have a brilliant future before us.

Alumni Aaanrtatum Officers GUY JUSTIN SUPPLE, ’06__________ MARIAN SMITH, ’06_______________ JEAN H OS FORD, ’06_____________ RALPH JAY DAVIES, ’06___________ HE Alumni Association was founded during the early seventies, and since that time has slowly developed into an organization, which wields a wide-spread influence over the graduates of the Danville High school. Especially to those who have not been able to attend college and to whom the good times at high school are the nearest and dearest recollections, the association has accomplished what it has set out to do. The annual reception, given soon after the commencement exercises each spring, serves as a magnet to draw the old grads back to the scenes of their happy “kid days.” Old acquaintances are renewed and made closer; the men recount horrible tales of strife and struggle on gridiron, track and diamond; the women make inquiries after their old flames and laugh over their experiences at “their first dance;” the fraternal feeling of good fellowship, engendered in their high school life, comes to the surface, and a congenial and rollicking evening is always the result. Between six and seven hundred persons are enrolled as members of the Alumni. This number includes many celebrities of local, state and national reputation, nearly. There is hardly a profession in the city, in which an erstwhile student of D. H. S. is not taking an active part. Indeed, if it were not for these same Alumni, many plans forwarded by the students would never have been realized, had it not been for the support and sympathy shown by those who had been through the mill. So this organization is one, which must not be allowed to die out, but rather there should always remain the loyalty and love for the old school, which will keep her best interests above all else. The good that the Alumni Association has accomplished cannot be told; it must be felt. And it is earnestly believed by those who have control of affairs, that a majority of the members have felt this good. -----President Vice-President -----Secretary -----Treasurer i (Jhr Alumni IRmptimt the Alumni Reception, we mean the one which was given to the ’06 class, for this worthy event was on its “last legs,” so to speak, until the fifty active members of last year’s class were annexed. As luck would have it, the eighth of June dawned dull and sullen; at noon, dark clouds had gathered in the cast and by five o’clock large and small drops had begun to fall, the downpour continuing until nine o'clock. Alas for the white slippers, filmy gowns and lace fans and alas, too, for the hard-earned cash of the boys, who had to come up with a plunk for a shining coupe, with a liveried coachman. But “some days must be dark and dreary,” and the darkest one does not keep most of the folks away from a banquet hall. By eight o’clock a goodly crowd had assembled to welcome the incoming class and while old friends were exchanging greetings, the ’OG people were hurriedly pushed into the dressing room, to be lined up for the initiation. In a few minutes, the grinning line emerged and marched lock-step around the hall, while the Crimson and Black waved overhead and the spectators applauded vigorously. One by one the new members took their place upon the platform and answered the following questions: “What is your name?” “ Where do you live?...What course did you take?” and “What did the High school teach you ?” When Edwin Gordon Culbertson Williams arose and declared that the Danville High School had aided him “in procuring a much wider outlook upon the battlefield of life and that he had been enabled by this outlook to get a deeper insight into the moral, mental and physical world,” the Alumni felt that indeed the cream of the community had been skimmed from the milk of the school. Then officers were chosen for the ensuing year. Recognizing the value of youth, every member of the executive committee was selected from the ’06 class. This was the first time this has been attempted, and we felt the honour which had been bestowed upon us. After speeches by Mr. Jewell, Mr. Gass and son and others, the banquet followed. It progressed smoothly, save that Lillie Schneider had the misfortune to overturn her tray and that Winfred Hess and Hazel Kendall insisted upon giving short dancing stunts between the courses. The chairs being placed in order again, old and young commenced to “trip the light fantastic toe,” and as the clock struck one, ten tired couples swung around the hall for the last time, to the tune of “Home, Sweet Home.” An ’06 Alumnus ICnst attit 3Pmutii (Cnlunut At University of Illinois Benjamin Marrison Harry Carson Oswald K.

In the days of our forefathers, social and student life did not go hand in hand. Our sage ancestors would have looked upon such a course as frivolity. The people of today, however, realize that in order to have the best mental equipment, it is not best to apply one’s self continually to one’s studies without any recreation. The best student and the one most thoroughly fitted to cope with the world, is the one who cultivates both the soc:al and intellectual sides of his nature. True to the American spirit of progress, the Freshman and Sophomore classes, who several years ago were content to live on the anticipated joys of the time when they should be Juniors and Seniors, have organized themselves into very effective social forces. All of the classes have proved themselves equally loyal in promoting the social life of the school. Although most of the events have been the traditional hay-rack, bobsled and Hallowe’en parties, the originality of the classes has added many unique features. Especially in the spring, the woods have always proved very alluring, and the names Possum Trot, Eagle Bottoms, Lemonade Run, Wood’s Mill and Boiling Springs will always awaken many pleasant memories. The two most important events of the year are the annual receptions given by the Senior and Junior classes. But the four classes have not been the only events of social life. In the fall the boys of the foot ball team and their girl friends were entertained at Georgetown by their coach, Mr. Holaday. The trip was made on a hayrack, and, owing to the bad roads, the party had ample opportunity to study astronomy. But from the enthusiastic reports the next day, no one but “Ike” Watson seemed to mind the late hours. If the boys suffered any from vigorous training, they were amply repaid at the numerous turkey dinners, given after the close of the season by the different members of the team. The social side of the girl’s basket ball season opened with a taffy-pull at Miss McFarland’s, after the first game played here. Everyone had such a jolly time that the members of the team followed suit and entertained the members of the visiting teams at a cleverly planned party, after each game. While not distinctly high school organizations, the social side of the student life has been iargely developed by various cooking, tennis and social clubs. For the classes of the future as well as for those of the present, the Senior class wishes just as many good, jolly times as it has had in the D. H. S. 40 Qllafifl iSrr ttmta ’06-’07 N the tenth of May the Class of '06 entertained that of ’07 at the Woman's Club rooms. The decorations, in which the colors of the two classes were combined, were very effective, and the entertainment was varied and novel. To each one was given a paper pie-plate, on which the names of all known pies were to be written. The contest was close. However, the lists showed that some must have used their imaginations more than their memories. An especially appropriate feature for this season was a May-pole with long ribbons of crimson and black and green and white. Although the result of the weaving was not a very skillful pattern, the dexterity of the weavers was shown by the successful way in which they extricated themselves from the tangle. After refreshments, in which the ’07 colors were again in evidence, everyone joined in the grand march. In this, one of the prettiest figures was that in which each one received a white carnation as a favor. Games were provided for those who did not wish to dance. A fortuneteller, who occupied the cozy corner, was kept busy the whole evening by those who were eager to learn what the future held in store for them. ’08-’07 The Class of ’08 gave the first of the annual class receptions this year somewhat earlier than usual, on November the thirtieth, at the Woman’s Club rooms. The color scheme was very prettily carried out by means of green shades over the lights and vines entwined about the chandeliers. The party was well attended, both by the members of the two classes and the faculty . A clever guessing contest, in which the answers were the names of well-known magazines, was unusually interesting. As it was at the close of the foot ball season, the prize, a miniature foot ball filled with candy, was very appropriate. After very attractive refreshments were served, each one was given a favor, which proved to contain fortunes in verse and all kinds of tissue-paper headgear. These grotesque and sometimes very fetching caps and bonnets were worn during the grand march. An orchestra of several pieces furnished unusually good musical numbers. Dancing, games, and a very popular fortune-teller made the remainder of the evening pass all too quickly. 47 (Sirhs’ (Elub Registrar, Estelle let ire— Faye Ruth Miller New— Mae Willis Pansie Morin Retire— Pdna Cohen Dessa Elder Ida Lewis Lula Loutzenhiser Lola 'Olmsted Helen Ryan Elizabeth Strauser Ruth Sandeson Myrtle Sanford Active— Mamie Beagle Hazel Bohn Mary Dague Fern Daringer Reva Hoff Nelle Hill Beryl Jones Lulu Lane Ruth McCracken Sayle McCord Active— Mamie Buxton Edna Bell Edna Blankenberg Jennie Chase Helen Cooke Frances Fecker Florence Griffith Mate Giddings Dollie Graves Edith Harris Ruth F.

Dramatics, we have partly filled a place, which has been vacant since the establishment of this book. There has never been a satisfactory and appropriate department, in which to place the different Senior plays and the minstrel show; and so the plan was evolved to give them a corner by themselves in the ’07 Medley. It is true that the literary societies present their little farces, tragedies and comedies on the monthly programs, but these are not to be compared to the above-mentioned plays in regard to time expended and profit derived. Much now depends upon the proper execution. It can truthfully be said, that the publishing of the Medley hinges upon the popularity of the Senior plays, and this is the reason why dramatics should be supported and magnified by the coming Seniors. A well-conducted dramatic club, although never mentioned as a possibility in D. H. S., would do a world of good towards providing clean, up-lifting plays, which might serve to keep the morals of the students on a higher plane, than heretofore. In the drilling of the plays, especially those given by the Senior classes. Miss Grant has done much towards elevating the drama. We hope that the following pages will not incur too harsh a criticism, as we have instituted what has really been a crying need of the dramatically-inclined students. • Benefit of '07 Medley ERHAPS, no play given bv any Senior class of the Danville High School, received such assiduous rehersals and such a small audience, on the first night, as did “Parker at Waukesha, a three act dramatic production, presented by the Class of 1907. The statement concerning the audience might be mit’gated somewhat, because, gentle reader, “the rains descended and the floods came,” from about four o’clock in the afternoon of the day of the play, until about one-half hour before the curtain dropped on the last act. It was really surprising to notice the enthusiasm, on the night of February first, which brought about three hundred persons, despite the frowning elements, to witness the “best-yet” Medley play. Such a multiplicity of bouquets and other nice things were showered upon the troupe, that a second performance was arranged for two weeks later, on the fifteenth of February, and again the show made good with the people . Each member of the troupe distinguished himself in one way or the other. Buell Snyder, disguised as Harry Harrison, completely out-witted his beautiful better-half, Janet Johns, and the entire audience, under the protection of his artistic whiskers. Charles Ferris, Grover Smith and Melvin Hole, took their parts as business men of the first water, with the greatet ease imaginable. Sam Levin, Otto, and Margaret Meade, Cora, showed their ability to play a K. M. role, only Sam was suspected of abducting some of the eatable stage properties. In applying a massage treatment to Jeremiah Grower, nee Homer W ick, James Jones alias '1. W. Conron, nearly tickled the life out of that dyspeptic individual, but a quick curtain cut short the agony for both Growler and the audience. Faye Ruth Miller and Mary Buchel. “young miss” and “old maid, were respectively made love to and stung, but both survived. However, this may be, Parker at Waukesha, was a howling success.

BRIGGS OF THE POULTRY YARD At the present writing, Mrs. Briggs has yet to make her debut before the high school, but we feel confident that the play which has been advertised as “keeping the house in a continuous roar of laughter from beginning to end. will live up to its reputation. A strong caste of characters has been selected, and the work on the production is being carried on under the efficient coaching of Miss Mac Farland. The play, which is to be presented on the evening of the third of May, is the last dramatic effort of the year, the climax, as it were, of the Senior year.

H. S. A. A., on the night of April 5, 1907, was the greatest musical production ever held under student direction. Expense was a secondary matter, when it came to putting on the show, and every little detail of the mammoth enterprise was treated with careful consideration. The stage, with its usual bare walls covered with luxuriant growth of summer foliage, formed an appropriate background, before which the endmen showed up to a good advantage in their white-duck, tailor-made (?) Tuxedos. The foot-lights, especially installed for the evening, rendered efficient service while on duty . Koscoe M. Ihrig, the musical director, and his orchestra provided soulful accompaniments to the songs of the blackfaces. The orchestra was composed of Walter Martens. ’09, Piano; Walter Smith. ’()!� , hirst Violin; Judd Faurott, ’09, Second Violin; Fred Draper. ’09, Cornet: Guy Williamson,, ’07. Clarionet; R. M. Ihrig. Trombone. Mow for the show itself. W hen the endmen came trotting out before the assembled hundreds, the aforesaid assembled thousands raised quite a racket. One by one, these relieved themselves of all their musical temperament, which had been accumulating during the many weeks of practice. “Bill” Conron tore his hair about not finding a man named Brown; “Max” Scliarf warbled some hot stuff about where they make L'needa Biscuits, and “Shorty” Supple tried to walk right in, and turn around and walk right out again,” but the audience gave him such an enthusiastic ovation that he consented to stay till the end of the first part. Red McCord, in his song, revealed all his love of fairs with his best girl “(H)annah,” and he didn't even blush; “Bus” admonished everyone to keep their hands to themselves; and “Doug Douglas, the hero of Fine street, gave tongue to certain tuneful melodies about not being able to see, on account of the smoke. Mr. B. Helmick Snyder was the recipient of many favorable remarks, concern-big his winning smile and his charming carriage. However, the real musical talent was found in the male chorus, seated slightly in the rear of the endmen. Well modulated, carefully trained voices were the primary qualification for the chorusers, and the following filled the qualifications: Frank Fox, ’07; John Barkman, '07; Melvin Hole, '07; Albert Becker, '08; Ira Jones, '09; Charles Howard, '08; Austin King, 09; John Harriott. '08; Raymond Soutlnvorth, ’09; Walter Meek, '08; Will 53 Cannady, ’07; Ellsworth Watson, ’08; Alfred Natho, ’10; Homer Wick, ’07. Their execution of the choruses was something awe-inspiring. But, the olio or second spasm, was still to come. To start the ball a-rolling, “Umpire” Cohen and “Fritz” Alles annihilated the German language, in an exceedingly humorous Dutch sketch entitled: “Did Brother lay the Egg on the Table?” “Fritz's” instructions in the scientific game of billiards was also highly beneficial and amusing. Next came Austin King and T. Will Conron in a burlesque on the grand opera. Austin was dressed in female attire—a fascinating, richly garbed, sylph-like figure, beautiful as a dream,—from where you sat. She—he and “I. W. cooed their love songs and plighted their troth, in the face of the whole- audience, just the same as Mr. Buck, Esquire and his Esquiress had done the year before. That musical monstrosity dsignated as “Africanus Bluebeard, whose troupe included heavy tragedians, was a howling success, in which each member tried to out-howl the other: John Garriott probably did the best along this line. At the conclusion of this drama, the entire troupe swarmed out upon the stage, singing, “We all have our eyes on you,” and then came the curtain. The '07 minstrels is now history.

AIM, 'OS________________________________Vice-President ANN CHESLEY, ’08______________________________________Secretary-Treasurer N view of the fact that the Adarians won the literary contest in ’00, the present executive committee resolved to duplicate the trick, this year. So did their opponents; but the contest resulted in a tie. and the superiority ol one of the two, will not be decided until next year. The first literary contest ever held in D. H. S., took place in the 18!)7, and has been an annual affair, ever since. Each society gives its programs throughout the year, having the customary debates, essay, oration, original story, newspaper, recitation and the like. But the contest serves to cap the climax, and the best talent of the society is chosen to uphold their supremacy upon the rostrum. The Adarians point with pride to the fact that the two orators, who will represent D. H. S. in the coming county oratorical contest are members of their society. Impartially speaking, the two societies are pretty evenly matched, and the tie this year, will make the race for first honors next year all the closer. The newspaper of the Adarians is always designated as “The Adarian Maroon.” 56 Atluutarum iCitrrary § nrirtif Officers.

I heir originality was shown in the presentation of their programs. Instead of giving it in the afternoon at the end of the week, they ingeniously divided up the different numbers, so that every morning the school listened to a short, but beneficial talk, with an interest, which could not be obtained, had the affair been drawn out for two hours or more. Up to ’06, the Athenaeums were ahead in regard to contests won, and they won by large scores. The defeat of the Adarians in ’05 was rather humiliating, but revenge was sweet in April of 1906, when the two old rivals were even again. The official organ of the Athenaeums is called the “Athenaeum Searchlight.” This society was the first to suggest the vocal solo for the literary contest, in which they have gotten the point since it has been a regular feature. Mr. Smith should be given honorable mention for the aid which he has rendered to both societies and his co-operation with them in all particulars relating to their welfare. 57 Atijrnacum-Aimriau iCUrrarij (Ernttrst “And the people held their breath when the conflicting armies met in battle UCH were the conditions existing at the eleventh annual literary contest held at the high school on the night of April would take the largest number of points, and members of 19, 1907.

On account of there being no illustrations for the original story, there were but eight points to be contested; necessarily compelling the winner to get at least five points. Tfte debate , which counted as two points, was won bv the Adarians, and was fully-earned by them. Then Raymond Southworth covered himself with glory in the oration and Leila Edwards was awarded the decision in the essay. This gave the Adarians four points to the Athenaeums nothing.

The first games were to be held at Athens and the following ones at some of the large cities of Europe and America at intervals of from two to four years. Great preparations were made in Athens under the direction of the Greek Olympic Games Committee. The Stadium was restored in marble upon the old foundations, and is now tar grander than the ancient Stadium was. It has reserved seats for forty-one thousand people, and seventy or eighty thousand can be accommodated when the occasion demands it. This is the largest structure of its kind in the world, and a great monument to its architect who lived twenty centuries ago. Most of the countries of Europe were represented at the first games and among the contestants were some manly specimens of young America. The Greeks did us honor in every way, due first to the popularity of Americans and Americans in Athens, and secondly to the fact that the ahtletes themselves soon proved the heroes of the Stadium. According to an eye-witness, it was hard to single out any individual among the heroes, but no American gained more popularity in Athens on that historic race course than that little Bostonian, Thomas Burke, who carried off so many prizes for swift running. The Greeks were wildly enthusiastic over his skill and speed. One asked him upon what food he trained. Burke, like a true Bostonian answered, “Beans.” After one of his victories, when the Americans had won four first prizes in swift succession, one old Athenian stood up in the Stadium and raising his hands in mock dispair, exclaimed: “O! why did Columbus ever discover that country?” Finally, upon the last day, came a contest which the Greeks had been awaiting with alternating fear and hope. It was the long run from the battle ground of Marathon to Athens, a distance of twenty-five miles. There were many entries besides the Greeks. History and sentiment alike seemed to demand that that coveted honor should be gained by a descendant of the men who fought at Marathon. The picture of the Greek runner asjie gasped “Victory” and dropped dead, must have been before the minds of the thousands who waited to witness the issue of the race. It was half-past four when a cannon shot announced the approach of the leading runner. Eor two or three minutes no one moved or spoke. 59 Suddenly there was a far-off cry. “It is a Greek—a Greek.” These words were taken up and ran the whole length of the Stadium. A moment more and a hundred thousand voices rent the air with cheers and acclamations. The king himself nearly tore the visor from his cap by waving it frantically round his head. The winner was a young peasant named Loves, twenty-four years old. Before entering he had taken sacrement and invoked the aid of Heaven upon lrm. and apparently the gods came to his assistance, for he had covered the twenty-five miles over a rough country in two hours and forty-five minutes. At the palace Loves and the other contestants were entertained royally by the king. The joy and pride of Loves’ old father as he saw his son universally feted and admired, is said to have been extremely beautiful and touching. Strange gifts were showered upon the champion; a restaurant offered free meals for life; a barber shop, free shaves for life; and a bootblack even coveted tiic honor of shining his shoes. Large sums of money were offered him. but he declined these with the true spirit of the athlete. “The only reward I crave,” he exclaimed, “is the wreath of laurel from Olympia, such as my ancestors received 2,000 years ago.” The next games were held in Paris in 1900, and in St. Louis in 1904, and while these were successful they lacked much that made the meet at Athens so noteworthy. Last year they were held in Athens, April 22 to May 2, and received the co-operation of all the athletic interests of the world. The American team expected victory, but not such a victory as they won. They gained 75 4 points and England and all her colors was next with 41 points. Other countries came in following rank: Sweden third, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Finland, France, Italy and Belgium was the eleventh and last with 1 1-3 points. This puts American athletics far in advance of all others, and the question arises, why so much better? It is easily answered,—It is the scientific basis of our atheletics. Our athlete of today searches continually for any ways or means with which to improve an event or lengthen a distance. The American team won 11 firsts, 6 seconds and five thirds in individual contests. As the flag was raised and the band played the Star Spangled Banner at every victory, abundant opportunity was given for the thousands of Americans to let the eagle scream. The greatest surprise of the meet was when the American athlets took first, second, and third places in the standing broad jump. The 400 meter or quarter mile race proved the sensation of the meet. In the final trials, Nigel Barker of Australia, Lieut. Halswell of England, and Harry Hilman, the American champion, started tx� with few others. TTilman had been injured on the voyage and the manager doubted his ability to stand the strain of 400 meters. He ran a game race, but gave out about 180 yards from the finish. Just as all hope had flown from the Americans, a man with the American shield was seen approaching with unusual speed; 40 yards from the finish he was in the lead and won in 53 1-3 seconds. He was Paul Pilgrim of New York, who had been taken as a possible third or fourth place man. Again, in the 800 meter or half-mile finals, he started with Lightbody of Chicago, and the champions of England, Sweden and Germany. Here again Pilgrim won, this time from Lightbody in 2 minutes, ] 2 seconds. Lightbody won the mile race from English and Scotch champions in 4 minutes and 12 seconds. Martin Sheridan, the American all-round champion, was a great favorite in Athens, because he scored the greatest number of points. He won the discus hurl, 16 lb. shot-put and was second in the stone throwing, standing high and standing broad jumps. On account of this performance he is conceded to be the greatest athlete in the world. The greatest disappointment to the Greeks was when the laurels of the classical Marathon race of 25 miles was won by a Canadian, named Sherring, in 2 hours, 51 minutes, 23 2-5 seconds. All of these results are based upon the Olymphic games proper, those held in the Stadium. There were numerous other contests, such as shooting, boating, fencing, swimming, etc., in which Americans took part in swimming only. In this we won one first place. France was the winner in these outside events. Last year's whole meet showed that an international athletic meeting can be held with utmost satisfaction to all concerned. It also showed that, as the American commissioner put it, if the games are to be held in future, as they assuredly should be, there is only one committee to manage them,—a Greek committee, and one place to hold them,—in Athens. W. H. Farnum, ’07. Win Wnt? HE oration was written, and oh! what a feeling of relief! For had not this been on the mind of Stanley Evans for about three months? It had been his first attempt and he had put his whole mind and effort into it. determined to win, for this meant so much to him. About three months before the principal of the Burlington High School had announced, as usual, the oratorical contest which was to be held in the near future. He requested that those desiring to take part should, at once, make their preparations. He urged those, who had never before attempted, to try. 1 his contest was to be held in the assembly room of the Burlington High School building, and, according to custom each year, three prizes were awarded? 1 he first was a scholarship offered to the one who should deliver the best oration. I he next two prizes were fifty and twenty-five dollars each, for those who stood next in rank. But this year, an additional prize was offered to the one who should deliver an oration spontaneously. This prize was fifty dollars, and was to be given to one of the three winners of the contest. A subject was to be given them and from that they were to talk. The one who gave and used the best and most refined English was to win the additional prize. Oh! what a confusion there was among the students that morning, l or everyone said that there was no question whatever, but that Herbert Brooks would win. ho else could surpass him, the brightest and most influential boy in school, endowed with a remarkable gift of speech? Who would think of competing with him and still hope to win the first prze? However, Stanley Evans said, “I don’t suppose there is any chance of my winning first prize, although I should like to very much, for then I could go away and study for the ministry. But perhaps I may be able to gain the second prize. I'll tell you that fifty dollars would feel almost lost in my hands, but I believe I’ll try. There’s nothing like trying, anyhow. ()f course, if I win second pice, I’ll have to give an impromptu speech, but it is not likely I'll win, since Herbert Brooks appears so much better than I. But I m not going to be discouraged. Oh! say, what’s the matter with you Stanley Evans? Here you’ve been standing, talking to yourself about not being able to win first place, when you don’t know what you can do. You never tried. Make up your mind to win and you will win!” He bowed his head for a few moments, then presently looked up with 62 a bright smile upon his face, and a gleam in his eye that told there had been determination written in his mind. Since he was determined to win, he must win. However, everything looked doubtful. Everyone seemed to think Herbert Brooks was the only one who could possibly win first place. He was complimented and encouraged on all sides by his fcllow-tsudents. No one seemed to notice Stanley. Not one word of encouragement was spoken to him. Sometimes he went home with a sad longing in his heart for just one word of encouragement from someone. Finally the day arrived, on which the contest was to take place. As the time for the long-thought of event drew near, the contestants, eight in number, awaited anxiously with throbbing hearts, the final decision. At eight o'clock the large assembly room was packed. Nearly two thousand people were there to hear one of the best entertainments g'vn by the high school for many years. Great was the applause after the oration given bv Herbert Brooks, who delivered with eloquence the theory concerning one of the great problems of the day. How Stanley’s heart beat when the next number on the program was announced, Stanley Evans, “Character and Its Necessary Elements?” The audience sat intensely interested, amazed at the earnestness and direct appeal, which lie used to conv’nce them of their need of a strong character. He had entirely lost himself in his effort to point someone o a higher ideal. Words were left in the minds of many, never to be forgotten, and as he finished, such an intense gaze was riveted upon him that there was no question, whatever, that he had won the first prize. There was no applause, until after the decision of the judges, giving Stanley Evans first place, Herbert Brooks, second, and Wilbur Edwards, third. A deafening applause greeted the ears of the victorious contestants. The boys in the hall were yelling, “What’s the matter with Evans? He’s alright! Three cheers for Evans! Here goes! and a tumultuous roar issued from the hall, followed by a repeated deafening applause in the assembly room. Then followed the speeches to be given without preparation. A subject was given them and f om that they were to talk. The one who gav and used the best and most refined English was to w:n the additional prize of fifty dollars. At the close the decision was made in favor of Herbert Brooks who, amid the acclamation of the spectators arose to thank the judges fcr their decisin. S'anley's talk was next to the zest, but he was satisfied o tlrnk that Herbcit had gained it. rs That night Herbert went home with a troubled mind. “You don’t deserve it, you don’t deserve it and you know you don’t,” kept ringing in his ears. But he tried to calm himself by saying, “I couldn't help it, how did I know that the same subject whch 1 chose to practice upon would be the same as the one given by the judge. It isn't my fault.” But this did not clear his conscience, for he knew he had done wrong and did not deserve the additional prize, lie could not sleep, so he arose early the next morning and went to seek the head professor, lie told him all, gave back the fifty dollors and asked that he be permitted to make a confession in the assembly room the next morning. Jt was the greatest lesson of his life. He told the students, how he had. by chance, selected the same subject to practice upon, which was given him the mght before. As he started to leave the platform, he turned and said, “Boys, last night was the hardest battle of my life, but I won, and I’m glad. I knew it meant character or no character, for little misdeeds lead to greater ones. Let me tell you, boys, and girls as well, character is worth more than all the prizes in the world.” 04 .

BARKMAN, ’07______________________________________________Secretary EDWIN MCCORD, ’08___________________________________________________Treasurer ME Athletic Association was founded several years ago for the purpose of controlling boy’s athletics of the school. In 1005, a constitution was drawn up by a committee of five, under the direction of President Fred McCann. This constitution was revised considerably in the early part of the present year and now satisfactorily covers every point concerning D. H. S. athletics. The athletics that are supported financially by the association are foot-ball, base-ball, basket-ball and track and field work. Tennis is encouraged, but not supported by the constitution. This body is in direct control of the minstrel show, which has for eight years been an established success and has been nearly the only means for raising funds to carry on the non-self-supporting sports. Under the jurisdiction of the association is the election of the managers for the foot-ball, base-ball, basket-ball and track teams, manager of tennis tournament and of the minstrels. Z.M. Smith, our principal, occupies the place as faculty member of the executive commtitee of the association. True sportsmanship has ever been before the minds of the association, and it is this trait which has brought Danville High School to her present high standard among the schools of the state. jFimt Hall £ ramnt. ISflfi HE season of ’06 was a strange conglomeration of rejoicing and regrets. In our first game with Urbana, nature literally threw cold water upon our rejoicings, but still, many good things are wet, and we came off with the long end of the score. Next we tried conclusions with Champaign, but this team was far above the standard of the other twin city team, and we were skidooed; but came home, rejoicing inwardly at a “Beardsley” dinner. On the thirteenth of October, we journeyed to Covington, and with a crippled team, carried away the long green again, to the great delight of fifty rooters who accompanied the team into Hoosierdom. The fatal “20th” then came, and on that day, we went to a hamlet called Rantoul, which lies in a wilderness some miles to the north of Cham- paign. In the early part of the game, “Shorty” Supple, our pugnacious guard, sustained a broken clavicle. Then by playing, which most fans would style as “rotten, we allowed the villagers two touch-downs in the first half. However, we took a mighty brace in the second half, and came perilously near their goal-line several times. On the next Saturday, we started for Sidell on a lark. Well, it was a lark all right, but the lark changed to a raven, for the laurels were not for us. 1 lie third ot November saw the team heading for Champaign on a vacation and incidentally to take in the Wisconsin-Illinois game. We were back in the business again on the tenth, this time taking the cars for a burgh rejoicing in the euphonious appelation of St. Joseph. Here nature effectually threw more cold water on us, and in a game of water us polo, the “Saints” put it all over us with a couple of trick quarter-back runs. The only redeeming feature of the trip, was the interest with which little Willie Sandusky watched the electricity dropping into a bucket, at the inter-urban station. Next the “Quakers” dropped in from a frat house at the University of Illinois, and they certainly earned their nine points. Just to please the natives, Jones slipped one over for us, Kiningham kicking goal, and there was great rejoicing that evening at the Women’s club rooms. On the Saturday before Thanksgiving ,the team gave the knockers a surprise by holding Hoopeston to a tie, 0-0. The north end team had only been beaten once during the year, and that was only one point, by Bloomington High School. The result of the Hoopeston game was a distinct shock to those who had not closely followed the team, and correspondingly came as a pleasant surprise. Finally Thanksgiving Day came, which we celebrated by heroically giving up the turkey dinners and matinees, and went down to Matoon. Now, a word about the Mattoon eleven. They had defeated Champaign on their own grounds, and it w'as Champaign who had handed us our biggest lemon. Also, they averaged about one hundred eighty pounds to our one hundred fifty-five. We played good, consistent ball, according to eye-witnesses, but were unable to hold a pair of l!)5-lb. brothers in their back-field, and Mattoon made a touch-down in each half. The team this year, was by far, the best in all the four years of the Senior’s experience. But, with the efficient services of Wm. Holaday, as coach and the number of veterans left over, we can see only the brightest kind of a future for the ’07 team. •so Cllljr 3Fimt lull ©rant, 1U0D FRANK ALFRED FOX.-----------------------------------------Captain BUELL HELMICK SNYDER______________________________________Manager HOMER C.

County Meet at Danville----------------------------See page 111 .Captain Manager ___Coach 74 Hrark Reason, in nr HAMPIONSHIP of Eastern Illinois on the track and in the field, has a rather pleasant sound to the ear. Indeed, it is the first time in the history of the school that a Danville team has ever won that high-sounding title. While wc literally swamped Paris in a dual meet, took first honors in a triangular meet with Watseka and Hoopeston and tied for the first place with Champaign in a triangular meet with Urbana and Champaign, still these only lead up to the climax of the year at Sullivan, where Danville fully established her superiority on the cinder (?) track and the (corn) field. The only doubtful obstacle between us and the most successful season in the memory of the oldest student is the County Meet, which is to be held in our own city on the eleventh of May. Strong teams will be entered by the different towns of Vermilion county, especially that of Hoopeston, and an even closer meet than that of last year is expected. But with a good track, and the members of the team feeling fit. we have every reason to believe that the Maroon and the White will be the winning colors. Especially in the smashing and re-smashing of records, the season of 1!I07 has been exceedingly fruitful. Records were broken in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and in the half mile. On the field, new marks were made in the high jump, shot-put, hammer-throw and discus throw. The new records would be a credit to any high school, and these only hasten the recognition of Danville as one of the foremost schools of this part of Illinois, in athletics. As predicted, the Juniors won the inter-class meet by a large number of points. In the competition between the Freshmen and the Seniors, who had a neck-and-neck struggle for last place, the Seniors won. with three points less than the first year team. Four new records were established— 2 min., 20 sec. by Fred Shawhan, ’09, in the half mile; .39 ft. 10 in., by Verner Carter, '10, in the shot put; 115 ft. 4 in. by Will Sandusky, 'OS, in the hammer throw; and 88 ft. 9J4 in. by Walter Kiningham, TO, in the discus hurl. 75 The dual meet with Paris High School ought not be mentioned, for it could hardly be classed as a dual meet, for try as they could, the visitors could not take a first place and were woefully short on second places. Incidentally, Carter, the Freshman weight man, raised his record in the shot ip to 40 ft. 2 in., and Oliver Brown gobbled the record in the half with the time of 2 min. 19 seconds. Apparently the impossible was achieved, when Danville tied Champaign, of Percivallic fame, and thereby hangs a tale, for another record was broken. Again, the oft repeated phrase “record raised in shot” by above mentioned Freshman, to 40 ft. 11 4 in., which will probably stand for a while. Danville’s second and thirds in this meet, which Champaign had probably forgotten about, fully made up for her multiplicity of firsts. One Jones on the locals, looked like a comer, and his “coming out” was at Hoop-eston on the next Saturday. At that time, he took the hundred and two-twenty from “Texas” Flint of Hoopeston, in the time of 10 2-5 and 23 3-5 seconds, and here were two more records. Harry Fairchild rose to the occasion in the high jump and cleared 5 feet, 6 inches, while “O. P.” Brown covered the half in 2 min., 14 seconds. Then came the Eastern Illinois meet, in which our victory is now history. Altho winning but one first place, our seconds and thirds gave us the meet by one point, which was a plenty, on a field like that. The 1907 Track Team has done much to be proud of, and thus far has proven to be undoubtedly the most evenly-balanced and sportsmanlike track team, ever representing Danville High School. 70 iFmtrth Annual ilntrr-QHaafl 4Hfrt LINCOLN PARK, APRIL 6, 1907 Track Events 50 Yard Dash (1) Jones, '0!� ; (2) Howard, '08; (3) Elliott, '07; time, 0:06 100 Yard Dash (1) Jones, '09; (2) Howard, '08; (3) McCord, '08; time 0:11 1-5 220 Yard Dash (1) Jones, '09; (2) Howard, '08; (3) McCord.

From about forty candidates, who were out for base ball “D’s. a squad was selected, and after the deciding •’nter-class games had been played, a couple weeks were spent in rounding out the team. Two reliable pitchers, Morgan and Williamson were to be used alternately, and Carter, who .was on the track-team, could pitch in case of an emergency. After a couple skirmishes with scrub teams, in wlrch the varsity proved especially strong at the bat. Captain Barkman marshalled his forces for the first game with Crbann. While Danville was walloping Hoopeston in track. Danville was walloping the ball at Crbana. In the first five innings, Morgan was so stingy with lrs hits, that not a “I”’ man got to second base. Just to have somebody ahead, five Danville men had trotted across the home plate for , scores during his time. On a three-base hit. which ought to have been a foul, and a single, Crbana netted four runs in the sixth, and three more runs were annexed in the last of the ninth. However, during the interval between the fifth and the ninth, innings, Danville, aided by the heavy stick work of Williamson and Kiningham, had pushed five additional scores over the pan. The score was 10 to 7, which was two more than was needed. In the game with Alumni on May first, the ninth was discovered to be the “lucky inning” of the home team. It was in this inning, that with a score of 5 to 1 against them, Danville bunched hits and won the game, 7 to 5. The seven men at bat in this inning, singled out a good ball and then singled, or doubled, with amazing results. Mason’s clean two bagger brought in the winning runs. Two games have been arranged with Attica TT. S., the first of which will be played here on the morning of the County Track Meet, and is expected to be close, but the D. H. S. nine will prove fully equal to the occasion. 81 liter lull ©ram, HJlir GUY W.

H. S. It was only nerve that made them play the entire schedule of games, with every game, excepting one with Covington on the home floor, a defeat. Despite the lack of veterans and a professional coach, the team—practically self-made—worked together nicely and some splendid material was brought out. We have good cause for predicting better times for the team next year. One very clear reason why Danville lost most of her games was, that her team played the strongest basket ball teams in the state. Champaign who defeated us by a comparatively low score, only missed the state championship by a narrow margin. Also, our best men were the shortest, and a team of “long and lankies were a source of dread to the low-built members of the I). H. S. quintet. But, the students were not ashamed of our basket ball team, which was well supported during the season, and that helps a good deal toward taking away the sting of defeat.

The games was quickly played olT, Charles Ferris, 0? finally winning the championship . Soon after, a tournament with Covington High School was arranged to be played at Covington—the events being hoys’ and girls’ singles and doubles. Will Conron, Captain, and Charles Ferris won the doubles in a hard fought set, by the score of 6-11. Jean I losford and Helen Johnson then won an easy set from the two Covington entries. In the singles, Homer Wick (I).) defeated I’oord of Covington by score of 6-3, while Jean Hosford (D.) took her set handily, 6 0. This year’s tennis tournament is now down near the fiinish. Scharf, Conron. Ferris. Greenebaum and MacDonald' are all out for the medal ,and between these stars, a pretty race for championship is expected. A tournament will probably be scheduled with Paris II. S. during the last of May, and negotiations are being made for several other such contests. Tennis is a sport which is rapidly gaining favor in the eyes of the students, so that, if the interest continues to increase, tennis will, in the near future, become one of the major sports of the school. 85 anutiH amtnmmmt, 19DB C.

GASS, ’07___________________________________________________President HELEN JOHNSON ,’08_____________________________________________Vice-President FAYE RUTH MILLER, ’07_____________________________________Secretary-Treasurer HE officers of the Girl’s Athletic Association this year have endeavored to form a better foundation for athletics than ever before. To this end, a new constitution and set of by-laws was drawn up and adopted by the association early in the year. This provided that basket ball and tennis should be supported by the association, also provision was made whereby any other sport taken up by the girls would receive careful consideration by the executive committee. The debt carried over from last year’s basket ball season was finally paid off and, with the financial assistance from the Board of Education, the girls were able to evade a similar one this year. When the season closed, the team was decidedly ahead, in regard to money matters. Thanks are due to the School Board for their timely co-operation, and the girls have proven that they were worthy of the consideration. Miss McFarland, who gave so much of her time in coaching the team, also deserves unspeakable credit for her work. 87 Itekrt tfall ’flfi D7 GAIN this year in basket ball, we can point to a splendid record. The girl's basket ball team lias always had the reputation of being the most successful team representing D- H. S . and this year’s team was no exception to the rule. ()n account of the growing sentiment against the girls playing out of town, the schedule was sEghtly shortened, but the team has kept up with the former records. With three regular players and two subs from last year's team, the '07 quintet got down to work at the beginning of the year. Helen Clarkson at center proved to be the mainstay of the team— much confidence being placed in her playing. Upon Helen Johnson’s resignation as captain, Helen Clarkson was chosen to lead the team. In Ruby Cra:g, Helen Johnson and Ethel Edwards—the school had three of the cpiickest and most accurate forwards, who have ever tried for a basket. I hc worked like a clock on passes and left nothing to be desiied in the wav of dropping the ball in the draperies. With Inez Gass and Ruth Miller as guards, the opposing forwards were as completely out of the game, as :f they were a hundred miles away. This is very tlatter-'ng. and they deserve much praise. 1 he '07 Iiasket Rail Team was There! 88 (Stria’ HaaUrt fell ©ram, 1008 Officers HELEN JOHNSON, '08; HELEN CLARKSON, ’00 INEZ E.

And there was peace in the land, when there appeared a H. E. Smith, directly following a Z. Smith, and they entered the portals and ascended the rostrum. 2. The II. E. Smith had traveled from the land of California and he spake of many things. Then of a sudden, he spake with a tempestousness equalled only by Harry Cohen in the Minstrels. :S. For lo, he had perceived one supple, known as Shorty, and he spake and his wrath was terrible to hear, for he said : “whosoever spendetli his sheckles and iron men at the houses of vaudeville, shall not enter into the presidency of the U. S. 4. And the people were silent, for they were doomed. 5. Then his wrath broke forth anew, as great, yea, even greater than before, and as he perceived one Cessna, he spake these prophetic words. ( . “Neither shall he that spitteth the juice of tobacco at a crack, enter into the presidency.” 7. Then lie departed and we were sad. Ye Seconde Chapter 1. And there came up from the land of Egypt a prophet and he spake many wise words unto the people. Principally he said unto them, “go on.” 2. And in sooth, he chanted again the words, go on, and again and again, he said, “go on, go on,” until the people waxed wroth, and declared that either he or they must go on. :5. And did not Red Mack, son of Donald, articulate and say “gwan !” 4. And it came to pass, that after he had gone on with Iris come on’s as far as he could go on, he went on his way. 5.

And it was meet in the eyes of the bunch that certain youths with melodious voices should tenderly chant tha. .rathetic ballad, concerning a certain pennant which is covered with heavenly constellations. :5. Accordingly when Rizabar Red bad looted his horn to a sufficiency, the selected young men of the bunch did rise and solemnly chant the aforementioned ciiltv. oc 4.

Then Isaac, of the tribe of Watson, did gleefully start to render “Upidee,” but he was abashed by the multitude and was consigned to the bench. . Soon after, a great and good man of the gospel, rejoicing in the uncommon appellation of S. S. Jones, was announced. And he spake unto the youths of the land, giving large bunches of advice as to how to become great and good in our after life. Extracts From Calendar October 17—“Art Fox gets stuck, in the east door.

S.— I am certainly glad that the expression, “Get off the earth.” is not true. For if it were I might have been thrown off the earth and would now he viewing the High School from the edge of one of Saturn's rings. But as I am still on the earth and in “Louie town, I can easily waten the fellows at school. On the night of the minstrels I sat upon the roof. 1 could hear “Red McCord as he walked across the stage. As each end-man sang his song, the people in the street would whistle it. This disturbed me some, but I was able to hear very well. The only thing I lacked was a program, ft makes a person feel fine to beat tome one iut of “two bits.” You don't know how good I felt. I thought I’d try to draw a picture of how I thought Johnny Supple would look in the minstrels, so I enclose the likeness. We learn how to draw pictures like this in our manual training work. Austin King was a star performer in the afterpart. He looked so much like a girl, that I tried to make eyes at him. But succeeded only in throwing my glasses out of gear. If you don’t know what gear means, ask Holmes or “Red” MacDonald. My views in the day are better. The only time they are poor is when Bill Sandusky or “Buss” Kiningham come across my line of vision. Still I see “Doug” and “Pete” Arenz tossing pennies —“Heads go to school; tails, go down town.” Then there is Johnny Supple working hard, trying to uphold the greatness of his, that is, his brother’s name. The Juniors follow the Seniors around and try to learn, the secret of being wise and dignified. But they, as Juniors will never learn, for those virtues come with old age. So the little ’08ers” must wait for some time. Oswald Becker is watching Homer Wick, but he might as well quit, for who ever heard of Oswald. But Homer; Oh! my, they read about him down here. Greenebaum is learning business methods from Hole. He is also readinga little book called, “How to get Ads from those who won’t give them.” This is a wise little volume written by his brother “Jamie.” But as I sit and gaze, I try to figure out. why I was banished. Ah! I love it. It must have been because I was great. The more I think of it ,the more I am convinced that that is the reason. Then I saw this maxim in that great literary paper “The American.” “All great men are handed lemons, mollycoddles grate them.” As I never grate them, and as I am handed them, I must be great. Therefore I am satisfied. 98 Q. E.

Supposedly wise and grave persons, who have never been known to even hint at a joke, will, by a slight inflection of the voice in a question or an answer, set the class in roars of laughter. Here are only a few of the choicer ones: Great Physicl Feat—One day. David Loutzenhiser, surprised the class by saying that Sheridan went down in Virginia, and threw all the Confederates out of the Shanandoah Valley.

That is why we tell about the County Meet, near the end of the book—as it serves to cap the climax of the whole year in Athletics. Never in her whole history has Danville High School had as successful a season as that through which she has just passed. Everything seems to have come our way, and we have taken it as a fit reward for our labor. To begin on the morning of May 11, Danville easily defeated the Attica High School Base Ball Team by a score of 14 to 7. Williamson, the Danville pitcher, twirled a strong game, blanking the Attica’s in seven innings; but a couple of bad errors let in a parcel of runs in the other two innings. Captain Barkman’s men were strong at the tat. and exceedingly fast on bases. We won the track meet by a safe margin. It was predicted that this would be the closest meet of the year, and that Hoopeston would win. Well, Hoopeston didn’t! The prettiest contest of the day was between Wallace of Hoopeston and Elliott of Danville, in the pole vault. After breaking their school and county records by a vault of 10 ft. 2 in., they could not decide who was the better, so they flipped a coin and Elliott got the first medal. The points were divided. Another tight event was the running high jump, which resulted in a tie for first with three men. They flipped for medals and Fairchild of Danville received second prize. Jones won the 220 from Flint of Hoopeston by six inches, in a neck and neck race. Brown, of Danville, proved to be the largest point winner of the meet, by winning the mile and the half. He lowered the school record seven seconds in the mile. Danville placed in every thing except the discus and the fifty yards dash. The grand finale was the half mile relay race. Georgetown was out for blood and ran even with Danville for three laps, but Jones left Cook of Georgetown away behind in the last lap, and we had won. Thus ended Danville’s Great Day in Athletics. 10 Styljtb Annual (Bounty iflwt Bamrille, iUntuia, B9at| 11. 1911?

The long-hand note-taker is too slow in these days, he can’t get down one-fifth the points he wants. But it is becoming more and more common to see the rapid shorthand writer getting them all. We teach typewriting and penmanship also. Often a young man or woman pays all expenses with shorthand and typewriting, selling to others the transcript of valuable discourses or lectures.
