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
