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
