DANVII.LE 0!) Alumni INCE 1872 when three girls in their white gowns were made Danville High School’s first alumnae, at the old Franklin Hall, then above Woodbury’s drug store, over six hundred students have been graduated from our schopl. The largest class, that of 11105, claimed fifty-one members. Some of the alumni have continued their studies and have represented us at Illinois, Northwestern, Chicago, DePauw, Wabash, Purdue, Rose Polytechnic, West Point, Notre Dame, Annapolis, Wellesley, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Smith, Western, University of Washington, Dartmouth, Wisconsin, Michigan, Cornell, Leland Stanford. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jacksonville, Oberlin, and Ferry Hall. Others are assisting the future alumni to become worthy of their position, for among the teachers in the city schools are the following graduates: in the high school, Mrs. Meeks, Misses Myrtle Miller, Flavilla Grant, Edith Markley and Etna Robey. In the graded schools the alumni is represented by Misses Eva Sherman, Lucy Lewis, Mary Buchele, Lorean Freeman, Gertrude Fox, Mabel Bushong, Helen Palmer, Jean Hosford, Margaret Moore, Zula Persons, Jessie Phipps, Maude Lesch, Emma Low Lewis, Gertrude Payne, Katharine Sweeney, Carrie Ramsay, Ellen Watkins, Anna Meade, Lena Kelly, Minnie Hazzard, Eva Lesley, Blanche Tuttle, Grace Fenton, Cecil Alles, Garnett Acree, Pluma Hill, Nellie Hornor, and Mrs. Levia Abernathy. Others engaged in professional work in Danivlle are ex-mayor of the city and present State’s Attorney John Lewman; city collector, Fern Bishop; city engineer, Walter Martin; attorneys: Edward R. Partlow, A. A. Part-low; Clarence Beckwith, James Woodbury, Ralph Holmes, Walter Book-waiter. Dr. Guy is one of the city’s well known physicians. Adolphus Lynch represents the newspapers, Joseph Gohn, cjuarter master general of Fort Snelling, and Well Shedd are in the U. S. A. Mark Whitmeyer, Percy Platt, Clarence Baum, John Webster, Bernard Feldkamp, James Greene-baurn and Ralph Davies have been successful in business. The alumni’s only active organization is the Danville High School Alumni Association, which welcomes the “baby alumni,” at an annual reception each June. If all receptions are as delightful as the writer found the last to be, then more of our six hundred should, not only as a duty but also as a pleasure, appear at the next meeting.
