It was not begun as a financial venture nor for the amusement of those connected with its publication, but was originated for the good of the school—for the good of those in the school. Every student has, or should have, an interest in our paper, for it is only by the assistance of the student body that the paper can accomplish its aim—namely, literary development and the establishment of loyalty and fellowship. Each year the staff of the maroon and white have striven to improve and build up the paper, and in this, the staff of 1909-1910 has not failed. Every department has improved, thus showing that each editor, from the editor-in-chief down to the least important contributor (?) has put his or her best efforts into the work. Nor is the success of the maroon and white of this year due entirely to the staff. The students and the alumni deserve credit for the manner in which they have assisted, the former by their subscriptions, the latter by their contributions to the alumni department. For this assistance the members of the staff are very grateful. The staff was unfortunate in losing editor, Everett Craft, the first of the year, but was exceedingly fortunate in its selection of a new chief, Frank King. King came unto his throne rather late, the work of the first two issues falling upon the business manager, Dan Fairchild. The new chief, however, went into the work with spirit and soon made his presence felt. With King as editor and Fairchild handling the business affairs of the paper, the staff feel that they have completed a very successful year, for not only have they met all financial obligations, leaving a small amount for the next staff, but they have also accomplished what is more important by furnishing to the students of Danville High School, a neater, more attractive, and more interesting paper than heretofore. “A ‘black horse’ may win a race, but ‘black sheep’ never.” 18 DANVILLE ’10 “Even a sick cat will fight for its life.” 19 MEDLEY ALUMNI OFFICERS President. . .

Who can say? Every alumnus of this school ought to feel it his patriotic duty to attend every alumni meeting. If we may judge this school spirit by the number present at the last meeting, we would say that about ninety per cent of the alumni ha 1 lost what little they ever had. The attendance at the ’09 banquet was disappointing to say the least. There were present, a majority of the ’09 class, a goodly number of the ’08 ers; and then a scattered bunch of faithful ones from ancient and modern classes. The meeting was, despite this one drawback, well planned and carefully carried out. It was held in the Woman’s Club rooms. The effective tho’ simple decorations were in the ’09 class colors. The program entertainment for the new and old members was handled by the ’08 class, in an enviable manner. The first thing in the order of events was the initiating of the new members. In the “spooky” light of a spirit fire the new members-to-be were sworn to an innumerable list of promises, by hair-raising specters in white flowing robes and wearing chalk white faces. To complete this part of the program the youngest sons of D. H. S. were obliged to run a wheel-borrow race the length of the room, while their sisters competed in a peanut race over the same course. Before the merriment had subsided the guests found themselves seated to form three sides of a hollow square—facing inward however. A long table closed the square on the fourth side, and there were seated the “alumni of the hour”—President and Toastmaster Edwin McCord, with a bunch of excellent speakers. Refreshments were served. Then followed a half hour of oratory and wit. Finally the officers for the following year were chosen as usual from the latest arrivals—the ’09 class—this year. However, it was voted best that there should be one or two old, experienced members on the social committee to make the 1910 meeting the best ever. After this business meeting, the floor was cleared and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and game-playing. So was passed by the majority of those present one of the most enjoyable evenings of their lives. ‘ ‘A white lie makes a black mark on the heart. ’ ’ 21 MEDLEY WHERE ARE THE ’09ERS ? “HOMELY GROUPE” Clara B.

The first year was a brilliant success and many records, unusual to such children, were made by us. Thus in our case we disproved the saying, “a good beginning makes a bad ending.” We did not let this satisfy us, however, and in our Sophomore year we continued to raise our standard in every way. There is no need to mention our successes in the literary, athletic and social lines, as they are well known. In our Junior year we were even better, and the respect for such a class grew accordingly. Finally as Seniors, we can look back at the last four years with pride. We have not retrograded, but we have gained in every respect. Now we leave the high school with the largest class that has ever been graduated, and we hope to leave as clear a record in the world’s history as we have already left in the D. H. S. annals. Admiration is sometimes flattery under a lamb's cloak. 25 MEDLEY Dan H.

As “Freshies” we showed some signs of intelligence which promised future development, as proved by the fact that we are now honored Juniors. Feeling “plebeian,” as Freshmen do, did not interfere with the part which we were to take in High School affairs. We organized, and, under the leadership of our capable and active officers we made remarkable progress in the diverse kinds of education which the D. H. S. affords. In our Sophomore year, we “starred.” Ours, were the basket ball, the base ball, and the foot ball heroes; ours, the literary geniuses, and ours the never-to-be-forgotten social “doings.” We were proud, and are still proud of our success in scholarship, in athletics, and in society, as Sophomores. Contrary to the custom of electing a girl as President of the Junior class, we elected Donald Johns, who, upon leaving school, was succeeded by our Vice President, Marie Prendergast. Owing, perhaps, to the fact that we have had only one social affair this year—that memorable Junior-Senior reception which was held at the Woman’s Club, December 10th, 1909—we have made great headway along the lines of learning. The two literary societies have contributed largely to our efforts to become model students, and now that we have only one year more, in which to prove our ability to become such, we shall strive to make that, the best and most beneficial of all our course, and to carry off our share of the honors. “Many ugly biuls bloom into beautiful flowers.” 49 MEDLEY JUNIORS President—Marie Prendergast Vice President Ruth E.

The first social event was held at the home of Edwin Leslie, where we spent a most enjoyable time. After the party the Freshman were initiated. The next party, a masquerade, was at the home of Miss Helen Reilly. During the winter several bod-sled parties were enjoyed. The last party, at which we had the time of our lives, was an informal dance at the home of Jack Palmer. “When you are right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are wrong you can’t afford to loose it.” 53 MEDLEY SOPHOMORES President—Francis Ferris Vice President—Elizabeth Force Secretary and Treasurer—Marie Graves Historian—Josephine Blose Chairman Social Committee-Harry Webber Bernice Acree Helen Adair Ed Allen Russell Austin Madaline Berhalter Lucile Blair Veany Brewer Alice Breach Donald Brown Dorothy Brown Earl Brown Lora Brown Dean Campbell Guy Clark Bernice Clem Gilbert Collings Cecil Cook Ruby Crawford Harry Crawford S.

Wakeley Vice President........................Cal Swallow Secretary and Treasurer..........Earnest Wintrowd D. H. S. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FROM the beginning of the school term on September 7th, all the High School students, especially the boys, were interested in the prospect for athletics for the coming year. Perhaps every one knows the condition of athletics at the beginning of the school year of 1909. Everyone has heard about the barring of the students from athletics on account of the Kingman, Indiana, foot ball game. The subject was being discussed at school all the time, whether the boys would get back in athletics or whether we would have any athletics at all. Accordingly a meeting was called of all the boys of the High School to organize the Athletic Association. This meeting was called on September the 14th, and aroused more feeling than already existed. It was decided to banish the old constitution almost entirely and to make a new one. The next meeting was held in the Assembly. Plans were presented by Mr. Lawyer, which the students accepted with very few changes. After this meeting, on the same night, a meeting was called of the “D” men of the foot ball team to elect a captain. “Shorty” Supple was chosen to lead the boys through the season. The next night, Sept. 21st, a meeting of the Boy’s Athletic Association was called to elect officers. John Wakeley was chosen President, and Cal Swallow and Earnest Wintrowd were elected as his assistants, in the offices Vice President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively. “Man rules dumb beast, woman rules man.” 59 MEDLEY FOOT BALL SCHEDULE FOR 1910 Danville....................vs.............Paris 34—0 Danville....................vs.............Watseka 12— 0 Danville....................vs.............Urbana 17—12 Danville....................vs.............Champaign 5— 0 Danville....................vs.............Ind.

Gloomy indeed was the outlook for D. H. S., because many of her star athletes were barred on account of the Kingman game. Along about the first two or three weeks of September our hopes arose, for it was rumored that the Board of Education was going to lift the ban, and accordingly the boys began to prepare themselves for the gridiron. So, it was that when Coach Beam issued his call, it was promptly answered by the defenders of the “Old Maroon.” Following the call came the election of captain. This was fought about for some time, and out of a tie vote, John (better known as Shorty) Supple was finaly chosen captain. From this time on, the boys were out every night working for the glory of Danville High. The first game was played with Paris (111.), which as everyone knows, was defeated by a large score. And so we continued to defeat other schools, among which list were enumerated our old rivals, Urbana State “Champs” of 1908, and Champaign. But at last the old boat struck a snag. It happened this way. One Friday evening the foot ball warriors left their homes to don their uniforms in the camp of Sterling. The path to defeat was hard and tiresome. Having to travel all of Friday night and until one o’clock Saturday a. m., we were tired and were hustled off to bed to sleep until eight o’clock. After tramping around the town, to add to our weariness, we returned to don our uniforms; and, well, the story is too sad to be true. We came home with tired bodies and aching hearts, with a load-stone of 42-0 tied to us. After this we drifted on down stream, being defeated twice by Craw-fordsville, although we did defeat Hoopeston after Thanksgiving by a 12 to 10 score. The enthusiam this year has not been equaled, and too much praise cannot be given Manager Stull and Coach Beam for their untiring work for the team. “Kissed lips tell no tales.” 61 FISHER MOORE BROMLEY BROWN MATHIAS PLATT WAKELEY BEAM PERRY FLEMING CAMERON SUPPLE BARRICK MORGAN STULL McCORD ELLIOTT DANVILLE ’10 TRACK AND FIELD FOR 1909 IN the beginning of the Spring of 1909, there arose the question among the students as to whether Danville High School was to have a track team. Those interested decided to make the best of it, so made preparations for organizing a team. As soon as the winter chill had passed away and the bright, cheerful spring had come, there appeared one morning on the announcement tablet of Mr. Smith (our principal in 1909) a call for every High School student to appear in track clothes at the Matinee Driving Park after school. Very unfortunately, only a few came out, due mostly to an unfortunate transaction that happened the preceding fall; but those who did appear came out because of their loyalty to the school, and showed their true High School spirit by working hard throughout the season. They did well, considering the fact that they had no coach. On Saturday, April 17th, our annual “Inter-Class” was pulled off; this was a very interesting meet, as several of the events were closely contested. On the following Saturday, April 24th, the “Illini Preps” were met by us on our home grounds, but they evidently proved stronger than us, thus carrying off the big end of the score. May 1st we went to Vermilion Grove to take part in a triangular meet, which included Vermilion Academy, Georgetown and Danville. On account of the rare ability of “Thornton” of Georgetown, and “Mills” of Vermilion, we were not given a show at the score. One week later, at Charleston, since only two of our boys entered there we did not expect to do anything. The County was held at Georgetown on May 15th, where Hoopeston was the victor, and carried off the meet by a one-sided score. This meet practically ended the season for us, although several entered the Illinois Inter-scholastic meet at Urbana.

At the very beginning the whole school was wild about the prospects for a winning foot ball team. We were brought before the “Board of Education” to find out whether the men barred from athletics could come back. After an exciting time the “Board” told the boys they could again participate in athletics. The boys were very grateful and I am sure will never forget that kindness from the Board. Now all was in readiness for the Foot Ball Season. We were to have Mr. Beam for our coach and Mr. Stull for manager, both being teachers in the school. Under Mr. Beam’s leadership we turned out one of the best foot ball teams the students of Danville High School ever saw and secured the championship of central and southern Illinois. From this great team the material with a few exceptions was secured for the Basket Ball team. Every one knows the history of our Basket Ball team, but I’m sure that our defeats were not for lack of spirit of the members of the team. Next in order came the Base Ball team; although we have not seen much of their work we have the best material for Base Ball that the school has ever known. Under the leadership of Mr. Stull the team ought to be a remarkable success. At the same time the Base Ball men are trying out, our loyal and hard working students are getting busy along the line of “Track and Field” work. And as the work of Wintrowd, Mathias, and Jackson has been first class in their respective work we ought to take the “County Meet” in a walk. Owing to the work in Track and Base Ball, the Tennis players have not been working, but it is very probable that they will come to the front next fall. “Dolls were made for girls to play with, women for men to marry. 66 DANVILLE ’10 BASE BALL McCORD RILEY WAKELEY MORGAN MASON BROWN FLEMING HENRY MIRES HASKELL JAMES BURNS SUPPLE TINKER STULL BASE BALL LINE UP Catchers Pitchers . .

We had some of the best material ever present in Danville High School and we would have had a splendid team. But as soon as the snow had all disappeared in the spring of 1909 and the ground was getting thawed out, the spirit of Base Ball began working on the fellows and great enthusiasm was shown by the students. The best material that had ever shown up in Danville High School was at hand and with Mr. Stull as coach the boys are fast rounding into fine shape. With Morgan and Wakeley on the firing line and Supple and Riley to catch the curves and such men as Mason, McCord, Burns, Brown and others behind these batteries we ought to have the fastest Base Ball team ever seen in Danville High. The opening game of the season was played at Champaign and our team was badly defeated. From the sting of this defeat the boys buckled down to work a great deal harder and now they feel almost invincible. With the fine schedule Mr. Henry has worked us, we ought to have shown to us a fine specimen of Base Ball, and with the student body behind us as well as the merchants of Danville the whole season ought to be a grand success. “The kind of a woman a man likes is the one who wants him to like her.” 68 DANVILLE ’10 BOY’S TENNIS THE Tennis tournament this year has not been a success. Why it is we do not know nor do we attempt to explain except to blame it onto the weather, poor thing’, and to the lack of interest shown by the students. The days are not far hence when the association recognized the Tennis team worthy of its support and many were the games played by us, but now the subject seems hardly worthy of a passing remark by those who were heretofore inclined to don the rubber shoes and “court” favor upon the lime soaked earth where the applause of the enthusiastic crowd rang forth in vociferous din when some nimble wielder of the stringy instrument of feathery magnitude would send the white sphere crashing beyond the reach of his “courting” rival. There is probably no other game where Love plays such a meagre part for all scorn it here, but if one be a good player it is great, for then comes the good tidings “50-Love,” just think of that, fifty hearts made glad. It is a game where hard work to gain proficience is not needed nor does one have to take a course in a restaurant to be a good server as two chances are given each time and the penalty for being caught in the net is only a few points. It is one continuous performance for after the ball is over a game is started in which the ball is bounded many times and when out of bound is mended and served over again so you see it is just like a home bakery. When one is in a “duce” of a tight place excitement increases inversely as the other fellow gets “balled” up and all is well until some one “cuts” the ball. Since you have had a little insight of the pleasures of the game we wish you would practice to keep from getting “balled”. Although they say beauty is only skin deep, this is a beautiful pastime even though the grounds have been skinned even before the game has started. “By your goodness make your enemies love yon. 69 MEDLEY GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION GIDDINGS LINDSEY PRUTSMAN ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President ........................Harriet Prutsman Vice President.............. Mate Giddings Secretary and Treasurer.............Bessie Lindsey SINCE the organization of the Girls’ Athletic Association in 1903, it has been one of the most successful organizations in the school. The membership is increased each year, having a membership this year of about forty girls. This year we were very fortunate in securing Miss McFarland of the faculty, for our Basket Ball coach. She was prominent in college athletics, and made us a very competent instructor. We wish to express our thanks and appreciation of her work thru the “Medley.” Although the Association has supported Basket Ball and Tennis, this year will close with about $30 in the treasury. “ Reform, is not what it is lectured up to be. ” 70 DANVILLE ’10 “KLOPHEL” TEAM Fay Knecht ’12 ) Della Gordon ’12 ) Ethel Klophel '12 Bessie Gordon '10 Bessie Lindsey TO • LINE-UP Forwards Center Guards SUBSTITUTES “MATTHEWS” TEAM ( Elizabeth Force T2 1 Teresita Dillow T2 Margaret Matthews ’ll Ruth Little ’ll 1 Esther Hottel T2 Sophia Dill T2 Maud Huston T2 Bernice Acree ’12 MARGARET Matthews ’ll who was elected manager of the Basket Ball squad for this year has proved to be very competent after her two year’s experience.at the game. This wasn’t the reason the season was not opened until February as the boys used the Armory three nights of every week and the girls had no place for practice. It was finally arranged that they should use the Armory on the two remaining nights, but, owing to so many new players, neither a first team nor a class team was organized. - But on February 15, a game was arranged to precede the boys game with Champaign and the two teams and their substitutes, namely old players, were chosen from the squad. The first half of the game being short, and the teams so evenly matched, no points were gained for either side; but, in the second half the “Klophels” proved far too fast for the “Matthews” team and succeeded in gaining six points, all of which were made by Ethel Klophel, against while one was made by Margaret Matthews, of the opposing team. As a whole, this year has I should say, not been a very successful one, but it is hoped that a gymnasium will be provided for the girls next year and that they may have a longer and even more successful season. “When a bad man dies he jumps out of the frying-pan into the fire.” 71 MEDLEY BASKET BALL GIRLS mcfarland GORDON KNECHT DILLON KLOPHEL GORDON ACREE HUSTON HOTTEL LINDSEY 4Some people get more out of planning things that never come off than others do out of things that do. 72 DANVILLE ’10 THE annual Tennis Tournament of ’09-’10 was begun in April, but owing to much rainy weather during that month, was so greatly delayed that the final matches were not played until the week following the close of school. There was a great deal of enthusiasm in the contests, and some hard-fought victories were won. Most of the games were played upon the court, which is located north of Vorhees on Franklin street; but as it was a dirt court, the rains made it impossible at times, and then we were privileged to use the North Hazel street court, owned by the girls of that district, and for whose kindness we wish, thru the Medley, to express our appreciation. After many warmly contested games, the final honors were awarded Mary Dague, ’09, who is to be highly congratulated, since this is the second time she has won championship. In the tournament of ’08-’09, she carried off the honors by a close score with Bessie Lindsey, ’10, and was awarded a beautiful tennis racket, while for her victory in this tournament she received a pretty pin. As a whole, the tournament was a marked success, considering the difficulties under which the manager, Bessie Lindsey, ’10, worked, and it is hoped that the girls will arrange for another tournament to be held either this spring or in the fall. “The straight and narrow path is also slippery.” 73 MEDLEY GIRLS’ TENNIS SCHEDULE ’09-’10 Edwards Daringer Edwards 6-2, 6-3 T.

Edna Blankenburg COMMITTEE Edna Blankenburg Marie Prendergast Owen Burns Roy Fox THIS year marks a great change in the Adarian Literary Society. It has been organized on a different basis than ever before and is now carried on in a much different manner. Our aim is to promote and encourage interest and ability along the literary line. Now the membership is entirely voluntary and any pupil of the high school can belong to either society he chooses. We have a constitution and are under the leadership of competent officers. A programme is given by our society once a month after school and as has been the case in preceding years, a joint contest is to be held between the two societies. We Adarians are especially interested in this contest as we now have the greater number of points and it is our duty to see that the condition remains this way. We are fortunate in having among our number, those who have gained special honors along the literary and debating line and our hope is that the previous good records of the Adarians be kept up during all the following years that it is in existence. “Innocence is not always virgin and virgins are not always innocent. 76 DANVILLE ’10 ATHENAEUM LITERARY SOCIETY BROPHY SWALLOW MOORE FECKER President....................................Thomas Brophy Vice-President.................................Cal.

Formerly membership to one of the societies was compulsory and no choice was left to the pupils as to which one they might join. Now, however, only those who desire, become members and they may choose either society they prefer. The Athenaeum Society has drawn up a constitution and new offices have been added. Competent members have been elected to fill these places and a successful course is thus insured. A programme is provided by the society to be given once a month after school. These entertainments may be attended by the members of the one society only. The Athenaeums show a great deal of interest and enthusiasm in these meetings, and as we have an unusual number of talented people among our members, we expect to win a big victory over the Adarians in the joint program, which will be held as usual in the spring. “Vanity is the tool dearest to the devil’s heart.” 77 MEDLEY THE MATCH MAKER SAY, Jack, got the jolliest invitation for you. When vacation begins, a crowd of my sister’s friends is going camping down by the Little Vincent. We know most of them and we are invited to go along. You’ll have a ripping good ti—” “Sorry to have to refuse you, old chap, but I’ve promised to go on a yachting trip with Winty’s crowd. Its to be strictly a bachelor trip and I� for one, don’t want to see a girl all the time we’re gone. Can’t go back on a promise, you know, unless perhaps sickness or death should compel me to.” “Well, I’m sorry to lose you Jack. You know I don’t go much on those fellows. Of course it isn’t any of my business, but I’ll bet you’ll be glad to see your scrub woman when you pull in. But I am confoundedly sorry. You see, my sister — ” “Oh to the dickens with your sister. Cy, I believe you’re in love with that sister of yours. It’s all I ever hear. My sister this and my sister that. I don’t mean any disrespect but,—well you know a fellow does get tired of it once in a while. So long, Cyrus, old boy, sorry to disappoint you,” and the door closed leaving Cy alone. “In love with my sister, eh? Well, maybe I am, but you will be, too, Jack Clark, or I don’t know you. Wish Sis would send that photograph she promised me. If she would only send it before the term ends, I’d have old Jack in our party all right. And then — ” Here his thoughts were interrupted by the enterance of a chubby, pink and white boy, the privileged character of their class and an all around good fellow. “Come in, Bob. I’m awfully busy, but you can sit in the window and moon if you want to while I finish my Greek.” “You do look rather—busy oh drea-m-ing,” grinned Bob. “But I can’t stay. Just stopped to give you your mail. Thought you might be looking fora letter from your sweetheart. Well,” dodging as a slipper came flying at him, “if you’re so terribly vicious, I’ll see you later.” “Much obliged Bob,” and Cy turned to his pile of letters. “Letter from Dad, journal from Sis, and—Holy Smoke!—the picture as I live,” and he hastily tore open the wrapping and slipped it from its tissue covering. The face that smiled up at him was beautiful beyond description. In the sweet lips and gentle eyes one could trace a resemblance to Cy himself, but there the likeness ended. The cheeks unlike his, which were lean and brown, were round and dimpled, the hair whatever the color, was sure to be beautiful for it waved back soft and fluffy, from a smooth high forehead, and two dainty ears were visible, peeping from beneath the wavy mass. ‘Cy sat looking at the picture for some time and then placing it before him on his desk where no one could fail to see it he smiled and said, “If that doesn’t do the work I’m mistaken.” “It is as hard to lose a friend as it is to keep an enemy” 78 DANVILLE ’10 The next day, Jack made his appearance as usual, but Cy was exas-peratingly busy. He seemed not to have time to talk and sat deeply engrossed with some closely written pages spread out before him. For the first time he had no answer ready for Jack’s cheery “Howdy Cy,” and the latter began to have grave doubts as to his friend’s sweet temper. Paying no heed, however, to the chilly atmosphere of the room he went knocking about until he came face to face with the photograph on the desk. Cy held his breath as out of the corners of his mischievous eyes he watched Jack. He saw him start, lean closer and then look to see if he had been observed. But Cy seemed to be pouring over the papers as if he had not seen, so Jack turned back to the face as though bewitched and asked, “Who is the young lady?” Cy was deaf to the question, so he coughed, and said again, “I say, Cy, who’s your friend?” “Miss Benten,” answered Cy shortly. A long pause followed, then from Jack came question number two. “Oh,—ah—is she a—a friend of yours?” “Rather,” snapped the studious one. Pause again. Then with one last supreme effort Jack mustered courage to ask, “Is she going camping with you?” “Perhaps,” growled Cy. “Well, you needn’t be so grumpy about it; I just wondered,” and taking one last look he turned and walked out of the room without another word. “Hooray,” cried Cy softly, while a broad grin spread over his face, “vacation two weeks away. I’ve got ’im; I’ve got ’im,” and seizing the picture he kissed it impulsively. “Sis, you’re a brick, all right. I knew it all the time.” The two weeks were almost gone, and Cy began to be worried, for as yet Jack had shown no inclination to change his plans. But on the last day, Bob came tearing up the stairs to Cy’s room like a whirlwind. “Jack wants you,” he said breathlessly, “and he wants you right away. Can’t find out what’s the matter, but he’s over in the hospital - room eight, second floor.” “Hospital! Jack! ” cried Cy in alarm as he seized his cap and went flying across the campus at a rate that would have done credit in track work. As he reached the door of room eight, second floor, the nurse who was just coming out said to him, “Try to cheer him up. We can’t find out what is the matter. It is the strangest case we ever had. I should say if there was any earthly reason for him to want to be sick, that he was playing hypo—” “Ha! ha! ha!“ laughed Cy as his conversation with Jack two weeks before flashed thru his mind. “Only sickness or death will prevent my going, ” he heard Jack say, and he would have laughed again, but that the reproachful shocked eyes of the nurse quieted him. “ Some friendships wouldn't keep if you embalmed them.” 79 MEDLEY “Why of course, he is—er I mean he is all right. I mean—well what the deuce do I mean? You see it is such a shock, and I’m so worried; I suppose I am—er—a bit hysterical.” He lied, striving to look grave. “How long may I stay, Miss Canton?” “If you promise not to make so much noise or laugh so loud again, you may stay an hour.” “I promise,” he said quietly, and tiptoed into the room, closing the door softly behind him. “Well, Jack,” he said, going up to the bed, “How are you?” Jack grinned sheepishly, and motioned for him to sit down. “About as usual, except I’m in bed,” he said. “Well, you are in a fine fix for a great big two-fisted fellow like you, ” and from this they drifted into talk of their past school days, but nothing was said of Jack’s wish to see Cy. When the hour was up Cy rose to go. “Anything I can do for you?” he asked. “Well, yes, is—a—your camping party still in progress? You know you asked me to go with you and —I didn’t think I could, but—” “Oh, yes, sure. The invitation still holds good if you want to go,” interrupted Cy, trying not to seem pleased. “It’s rather late, but I guess we’ll have room for you. Glad you changed your mind.” And so Mr. John Weston Clark went to Little Vincent, as Cy had intended all the time that he should. Owing to Jack’s ilbiess the boys were detained a few days longer than they had planned, so that the rest of the party were fairly settled to camp life before they arrived. That was why, instead of them being ahead of time and welcoming the entire party, they were met by two of the girls. Before the train slowed up the boys were out on the back of the car, peering eagerly about. No sign of the invalid about Jack now! Suddenly his heart gave a great bound and the blood leaped thro’ his veins, for there on the platform, with eyes sparkling and cheeks glowing, stood the girl whose face he had been unable to forget since the first glimpse of it two weeks before in Cy’s room. But just as suddenly it dropped like lead, for she flew to Cy and, with arms about his neck, kissed him twice, and then exclaimed joyously, “Oh Cy, dear! I thought you’d never come; we waited so long, and I am so anxious to hear what your se—, ” but she got no further, for Cy interrupted somewhat hastily, “I don’t believe you girls have met old Jack here. He’s a jolly, good fellow, and a lady’s man if you treat him square. The only living specimen of his kind. Miss Graham, Mr. Clark. Miss Benton, Mr. Clark.” “Why Cy, wha—” began Miss Benton astonished, but Cy silenced her with a nod and a wink. “Most men worry more over their digestion than they do over their salvation.” 80 DANVILLE ’10 “Oh, that’s all right, Mid, he’s perfectly harmless if he does look a bit wild. I’ll explain his case later.” Poor Jack, a slap in the face could not have hurt his pride more. He was usually considered the most graceful and unconscious fellow of the “bunch” but now he stood awkwardly twirling his hat, with face flushed to a very noticeable pink, while he stared at Miss Benten with eyes which did look a trifle wild. Inwardly he raged, and his opinion of Cy would have been the same had that person been a small yellow puppy of the species inclined to run yelping and howling after every automobile that had the misfortune to come within a square of it. “We came in a borrowed farm wagon so you will have to be awfully careful and not whip the horses nor lose the ‘pillers’ nor the end gate and be sure to hold back when you go down hill.” That was the command of the venerable owner of the most “beautiful” horse in Vincent, and both girls laughing at the recollection of their starting from the little old farm house, some two hours before, related the comical experience to the boys much to their amusement. When they reached the rickety old wagon that stood behind the depot Cy climbed onto the front seat and helped Miss Benten up beside him much to the chargin of Jack for he had planned that seat of honor for himself. Nothing was left for him now but to sit bravely up behind the seemingly loving and happy pair and talk silly nonsense to the girl beside him. All the time he watched the two as they whispered to each other and laughed until the tears rolled down their cheeks. Oh, how he longed to seize that despicable Cy Walters and choke him until he could never laugh again. He was wondering how Cy would look with his face .purple and his eyes bulging from their sockets and was half temped to try it when suddenly Mildred turned to him and smiled. Instantly the black thoughts disappeared as though by magic. What beautiful teeth she had, so small and even and white and the red lips—he had never seen more perfect. When she ask him if he could arrange to stay a week longer than they had planned, he blushed like a school girl and managed to gasp out quite breathlessly, “I—I— suppose so.” Thereupon seeming well satisfied she turned to calm the excited Cyrus, who for some cause or other was inclining to be as noisy as Jack was silent. He was standing up waving the whip exultantly over the back of the trembling horse and crying, “Keep it up old boy, keep it up, you’re doing fine.” “Why, Cy, what is the matter with you?” she laughed. “Do for mercy sakes sit down. His name isn’t Jack, its Moses.” “Oh,” said Cy, subsiding with a chuckle, “he is rather slow, I thought you said his name was Jack.” Jack hearing the remark had a faint suspicion that in some way it The cheapest way to get notoriety is to be an eighteen-karat fool.” 81 MEDLEY referred to him and muttered to himself, “Never mind, Cy, my boy, a bad beginning makes a good ending,” and the rest of the drive passed pleasantly, especially for Jack and Mildred, much to the delight of Cy, the match maker. “Trouble in the camp. Trouble in the camp,” sang Cy one morning as he and Mildred were busy completing their share of the work necessary about the little camp. The rest of the party had gone off on a short trip up the river and they were to follow later. “Oh, Cy, I do wish you wouldn’t be so noisy. You drive every one distracted.” “What’s the matter with you Sis; is Middy mad at her big bruvver? Chile, what am dose little blue rings undah yoah eyes? Pears like you all been crying,” he teased. “I’ve not been crying, and I wish you would keep still,” Mildred answered crossly. But Cy was bent on teasing. “Honey, I do believe you is in love.” That was going a little too far, even for sweet tempered Mildred, and Cy knew it; but the spirit of daring took possession of him, and he went on regardless of the close shut lips and flashing eyes. “I don’t blame you, Sis. Jack’s gone off up the river in the canoe with Fay Garner, and after all the trips you — ” “Cy Walters,” she cried, her cheeks flaming and eyes flashing fire, “I think you are the most hateful brother any girl ever had,” and she flew into the little cabin and banged the door after her. Poor repentant Cy knocked and knocked but got no response, although he shook and rattled the old door until it nearly fell from its hinges. Finally from within came his sister’s voice, brave, but with now and then a little catch in it. “Don’t y-you dare stand there any l-longer,” so he went away smiling. “Sis is all right, but she has it ‘ bad ’. Now for old Jack ! ” He found Jack sitting on a rock in a shady spot pretending to fish, but making a sorry looking angler. “Hello Jack,” Cy called. “Thought you went with the rest of the bunch.” No response. “Mooning?” “No.” “Lovesick?” “No.” “Well, old turtle, you needn’t snap my head off. It isn’t my fault if you’ve had a row with your lady ldve.” “Aw, cut it, can’t you?” growled Jack. “I tell you Jack, it does go hard to be head-over-heels in love with a girl and then have her turn you down. I’ve been—” “Sometimes the nearest escape from defeat is the greatest victory.” 82 DANVILLE ’10 “Clear out of here, will you?” You make me sick.” But, Cy grinning like a cherub, kept on in his sympathetic tone of voice until Jack nearly threw him into the river. Not wishing to be so unceremoniously baptized, Cy left him to his moody thoughts and went whistling away, a picture of content. “Yep, Jack’s got it too. Guess I’d better get busy and help old cupid along.” “Here, Miss Mildred, am a note for you. De boy done tole me to gib it to yuh, and I brung it right along.” “Thank you, Jerry. Who did you say sent it?” “De boy, Miss Mildred,” and the old darkey shuffled away, leaving Mildred as nonplused as before. But she did not remain so long, for she tore it open and read: “Dear Mildred: I must see you. I can't stand it any longer. Won’t you please meet me this evening down by the anchoring post while the others are at lunch. Please don’t fail me. Give me a chance to explain. Jack.” Her heart said “yes,” but stubborn pride said “no.” In the end however, heart conquered, and she went trembling but happy, sure that the explanation would be sufficient. As she turned the bend in the road and came in sight of the spot her heart thumped and pounded in her breast, and her eyes grew suspiciously bright, for there stood Jack, broad shoulders drooping and head bowed, looking so sad and yet so lovable. She took an eager step forward and he, looking up, saw her. “Mildred,” he cried wonder-ingly, a world of longing in his voice in outstretched arms. “Jack,” she answered. When they returned to the rest of the party, looking as happy as two turtle doves, they pounced upon the culprit Cy with extremely gentle hands. “Cy, you dear old forger,” laughed Mildred, waving before his eyes two small white notes, “explain or you stand convicted.” “Yes, you perjurer,” said Jack seizing him by the collar, “come introduce me to your sister.” “To the dickens with my sister, Jack,” laughed Cy, I believe you are in love with her.” “Well I’d like to know who wouldn’t be.” Mildred blushing beautifully said, “And all you’ve got left is a photograph, Mr. Matchmaker.” Margaret Balsley, 1910. The average man who scorns to work Jor another man is glad enough to ‘work’ him.” 83 MEDLEY JUST FOR FUN WELL, Sis, I hope it hasn’t come to this. What do you suppose the girls would think of you? I’ll venture that Jack wouldn’t say, “you’re a perfect dear,’’ laughed Dick Carter as he lit a cigar and began smoking it leisurely. “Be still, you make me so tired. I’ve often told you that Jack Watson had no strings tied to me; and as to his calling me a ‘perfect dear’, I think you are mistaken for he probably meant Leona Gray,” replied Marie, as she set the ink on the library table. “That’s it—jealous already. I never saw such a girl, always ready to say something about a fellow” — “Please leave me alone!’’ interrupted Marie, as she started toward him and her big black eyes sparkled with indignation. “I never can do anything but that you have to say something.” “Ha! Ha! Ha!” laughed Dick, as he hurried down the hall and out the front door. “I bet I’ll have some fun over this.” Meanwhile Marie and her cousin, Helen Monroe, who was there for an extended visit, decided, in the absence of any other adventure, to answer a matrimonial advertisement “just for fun,” as they said. Marie thought Dick would be “in for it” but he argued in vain against “such an outrage.” “I have it!” exclaimed Marie as she adjusted her paper and read excitedly ; “Would a refined young lady kindly correspond with a young ranchman, of Dallas, Texas, R. F. D. No. 2, Box 18?” “Isn’t that just luck? Why that’s near Joe, isn’t it? Let’s see, Joe Burns—he lives—on—yes Route four,” decided Helen. “Now listen Helen, and see if this is all right,” said Marie after a little while during which her pen traveled rapidly. “Dear Sir:—I shall be glad to correspond with you and I believe I meet your requirements. If you wish to carry out the correspondence, write to Marie Carter, Wheeling, Illinois.” “That’s fine! I can hardly wait until we receive an answer. Leave it there; I’ll get my jacket and take it to a mail box.” Meanwhile Dick had thought of a plan by which he, too, was to have some fun. He decided that he would return home, secure the letter if possible and give it to his chum, Jake Watson, who was also Marie’s friend, and who was leaving that evening for Dallas, Texas, and have him answer it, thus playing a “capital” joke on Marie and Helen. As he walked into the room from which he had gone an hour before, he saw the letter. The room was empty, so he quietly picked it up and disappeared. When the girls came for their letter some time later, it didn’t occur to them but that the servant had given it to the postman. “A straight out and out enemy is more a friend; then a devious friend is less an enemy.” 84 DANVILLE ’10 “Say Jake, here’s a letter that Sis and Helen wrote to some unknown Westerner “just for fun and for excitement,” Dick was saying to Jake. “You take it with you and when you arrive at Dallas, answer it and keep up the correspondence; make them think they have to deal with a man “who has it bad.’' “Between you and me, Marie has a man, a persistent one, and to be frank, one “who, also, has it bad” to deal with. “But say, Dick, aren’t you going with me to Dallas? You half promised that you would. There’s nothing to hinder, and it will do you good to get out of that office,” said Jake coaxingly. “Well, I never thought much about it, but I believe I will; that is if you aren’t going until evening.” “Give me your hand on that Dick,” said Jake as he offered his own. “So long then. Will you be down to dinner? Sis said that she had asked you.” “Yes, I promised. By the way, we’ll both enjoy the matrimonial adventure.” “Yes, and we’ll make ’em suffer at dinner.” Dinner passed joyfully, but not without the taunting statements and questions from the boys. The girls, however, were sorry to see the boys go, especially since Dick was to accompany Jake, for the girls liked to be teased even though they did resent it. It was about a week later that the girl’s received a typewritten letter, postmarked Dallas, Texas, which read: ‘ Dear Miss Carter:—It is with pleasure that I desire to continue this correspondence. Some day I hope to see if you do meet my requirements.” And he went on to describe his surroundings, his financial affairs, and in the end, urging her to answer soon. “His letter reads as if he was well educated, but then again, it is typewritten,” considered Helen earnestly. “Yes, but dear, he must never come to see me. Perhaps he’s as homely as Charles the fifth, and as ignorant of conventionalities as Samuel Johnson.” “Well, we can’t expect to adhere to conventionalities, for we are breaking them by doing this. Are you going to answer it?” “Yes, but isn’t it queer; he says: “Address Herman Worth, Dallas, Texas. He doesn’t say anything about Rural Route.” “Perhaps it doesn’t matter now that we know his name.” “That’s so. Here’s a letter from Dick and Jake. Ha! Jake asks me what my ranchman’s name is. He says, “I may look him up.” As time passed, however, the letters increased instead of decreasing, as one would expect them to do when written by such girls as Marie Carter and Helen Monroe, for they were very popular and favorites of the old as well as the young, but no matter how many invitations to operas, parties, “It’s a great shock to have a man return, money he has borrowed. ” 85 MEDLEY picnics and that sort of thing they received, they managed to find time to answer the letter which was welcomed so warmly. The day Dick and Jake decided to come home, they discussed as to how they could arrange to fool both of the girls. Dick, however, being equal to the occasion, suggested that they ask Marie to get a friend for Herman’s brother, who was supposed to own a share of the ranch. When the girls received this letter they were happy, for the fun they were deriving from this adventure was unlimited. “That’s your chance, Helen—I’ll tell him to write to my cousin who lives with me at present.’’ “Oh! isn’t this glorious? Why, I never had so much fun in my life.’’ “Yes, and Dick was opposed to it. Ha! won’t he be surprised to find out the stage of this affair, but Helen I believe he’s half decided to come here. Listen ! He says, ‘Were I able I should come at once for you to brighten my bachelor apartments.’ ” “Oh! he’s having a jolly timeout of it. Probably he’s an eastern lawyer who has gone there to practice or maybe he’s a college student who’s spending the summer there, for you know a lot of them do,—for instance, Donald Grace and Clark Dixon.” Several letters were exchanged between Helen and the supposed Clayton Worth who seemed equally as intelligent as his brother. The girls, however, became disappointed when the letters from Dick and Jake ceased to come. One day while discussing this lapse, on the porch of the Carter home, they were interrupted by a messenger who handed them a telegram which read: “Meet us at No. 10 on C. E. I. tonight. Worth. “What shall we do?” exclaimed Marie. “What can we do?” sighed Helen. “Let’s don’t meet them,” suggested Helen as her face brightened up at the hope of escape. “What would Auntie say if they should come here?” questioned Helen. “Let’s see No. 10 comes in at six thirty. How shall we know them, or how can they recognize us?” “You’re right. Let’s get ready. We’ll go down to the station and see if two strangers come that appear to be ranchmen. “You’re a dear. Let’s see—five thirty now—that trolley party is at eight. We have plenty of time” decided Marie. When No. 10 stopped at Wheeling, Helen and Marie were on the platform, pretending of course to be ready to board the train, but in reality, as we know, to observe their correspftndents. One by one the people alighted, while the girls’ hearts beat rapidly from the little fear mingled with the excitement which also caused the flushed cheeks and the sparkling eyes. ‘ ‘It’s lots more exciting getting out of a tight place than staying out. 86 DANVILLE 10 At last Marie was startled as Helen, by a gentle tap upon her shoulder hearing Jake’s voice exclaim laughingly to Marie, “Pardon me, Miss Carter, I am Herman Worth and have come for you to cheer my bachelor apartments.” “Oh! Jake we weren’t looking for them but for you as we knew all about it,” said Marie, as the color rushed into her cheeks and her eyes dropped, for instantly she saw all the joke. Meanwhile Dick said, “Miss Monroe, I am the fellow you’re looking for—Clayton Worth.’’ “Oh! Dick!’’ she exclaimed, “was that you? Why did you play such a joke on us? Did you send that telegram? Did you think we intended to meet them? Did—” “Well, for Pat’s sake, Helen, are you a question box? Pm no talking machine” gasped Dick, “and you mean to tell me you didn’t intend to meet them when here you are? Ha! Ha! This is a ‘capital joke’ Well, look at Sis! I believe Herman has her all right.” With these words they moved over where Jake and Marie stood talking earnestly. Marie saw them coming and said in a low tone, “Be still, Jake, for here comes Dick and Helen.” “Well, I don’t care” blurted out Jake. “Say Dick, I’m in the best luck, Marie says she’ll be the wife of Herman Worth and not of Jake Watson but argues that we are not one and the same.” “ ’Fess up. Sis, as Helen did, only for Jake’s sake, don’t ask so many questions as my betrothed cousin did,” said Dick, as he dodged quickly, for he expected Helen to strike him, in fun of course. “What I can’t see, is how you met those fellows, for we never told you their names,” questioned Helen, who had not as yet fully comprehended the joke. “Met ’em,” laughed Dick. “Why, I stole that letter. I’m Clayton Worth, and there’s Herman,” and he demonstrated his statements by the mischievous eyes. “Well, I don’t care. We did it only ‘for fun,’ ” Marie apologized. “Yes, but we had all the fun, didn’t we Jake?” “Go on, Dick, or we’ll not be in time for that trolley party.” “The trolley party!” exclaimed both girls. “Yes, Marie wrote to Herman about the jolly time they would have,” put in Dick. Won’t the girls be proud of their Western friends tonight?” “Dick, I hope you don’t intend to tell it,” gasped Marie, as she thought of Leona Grey and the others. “Indeed I do. Then see if you are Jake’s ‘perfect dear.’ ” “Never mind, Dick. Go on. She’s more than that, for she’s Herman Worth’s; in other words, Jake Watson’s promised bride.” Mae Morris, ’12. “The time to control yourself is, when someone else will control you if you don't.” 87 MEDLEY TOMMY’S MISTAKE ITTLE Tommy March was glowing with the enthusiasm of the born bargain hunter, because of some inexplicable reason he had been able to purchase for five copper cents an article which, in his mind, was really worth his much-treasured silver quarter. The bargain was a calendar to be presented as a birthday gift to Helen Glenn, the lovliest young woman of his acquaintance. Tommy, however, not considering the trifle elaborate enough in its original state, adorned it with numerous pictures from his scrap- So on the morning of her birthday, Little Tommy trudged over to Miss Helen’s home, and with great formality presented his gift. She did not disappoint him, and exclaimed in rapturous tones, as she kissed him on both round, red cheeks, “It’s perfectly lovely, Tommy, dear! I shall put this old dusty one in the fire, and use none but yours.’’ So, after seeing the calendar hung safely over Miss Helen’s desk, Tommy returned home, perfectly satisfied. The two Glenn sisters were very different in character, in that Helen believed that people took too much heed for the morrow, and left too little to chance; while staid Elizabeth held the opposite view. So it was when Helen was planning her wedding day, which was set for the twenty-fifth of October. To conventional Elizabeth’s consternation, Helen camly announced that she intended making all the plans herself. “Now remember, you’re to leave everything to me but the cake,’’ said haphazard Helen, one morning when the plans were being discussed. “I’ll do all the worrying, and you may do all the baking, but leave that until I tell you. Leave it all to me, and we’ll have a wedding that is a wedding. Above everything, I want it to be informal.” Even Helen never imagined it would be as informal as it proved to be. As the time approched, everything appeared to be going smoothly. Helen, bent upon showing dubious Elizabeth that a wedding could be the easiest form of entertainment imaginable, wore a serene look; but the latter insisted that the almanac predicted rain and was supposing several other gloomy things one day, when the door bell rang and stout old Mrs. Kenyon entered. “By the way, Helen,” said the visitor, “it has just occurred to me that when you invited me to your wedding you said “Wednesday the twenty-fifth.” “Yes” answered Helen, “I did.” “But Helen, the twenty-fifth is Sunday.” “Are you going to be married on Sunday or Wednesday?” objected Mrs. Kenyon. “What!” gasped Helen, “Isft’t today Saturday?” “Yes, Saturday the twenty-fourth.” “Oh, you must be mistaken,” cried the alarmed girl, “my calendar said this morning when I looked at it, Saturday the twenty-first.” book. “Some men have about as much manhood as the women in the family.'’ 88 DANVILLE ’10 The discussion became more and more intricate until at last the calendar was brought forth. “My goodness girls, look at this,” cried Mrs. Kenyon excitedly as she pried up one of the scrap book pictures with a hair pin—“A picture pasted exactly over the year of your calander—1899.” The mystery was a mystery no longer. The Glenn family had regulated several important weeks by a five year old calendar. “Then—when—am I going to be married?” gasped Helen. “When is my wedding day?” “You have’ntany” calmly announced Elizabeth. “Well, its tomorrow” replied Mrs. Kenyon, “if you go by the date; next Wednesday if you go by the day. I hardly thought you would choose Sunday,” “Dear me,” groaned Helen, “what an awful mix up! Everything ordered for the twenty-fifth and the people invited for Wednesday, and Max—why that’s the reason Max said that he’d be here to-day.” “Well, there he is coming up the walk now,” exclaimed the dismayed Elizabeth, “and Dr. Morris with him.” Dr. Morris was the minister of the church which Helen attended and the man she had chosen to perform the ceremony. Quick witted Helen rushed to the door and hurrying the bewildered Max into the library, poured out her exciting narrative while Dr. Morris and Miss Elizabeth in the hall were endeavoring to straighten out matters. “I did not notice the difference at first,” he was saying, “but it seems as if the day and date of your sister’s marriage do not ah —coincide.” “Nothing coincides,” Helen interrupted, emerging from the library. Everything is woefully mixed. Do come in and tell us what to do.” Finally when things were explained, they found that since Mr. Morris could not be there the following Wednesday, the event would have to occur earlier. “I’m afraid I'll have to have it sooner,” faltered Helen. “Everything is ordered to come on that eight o’clock train to-night, and—Ah, Max, you don’t mind having it sooner, do you—and very informal?” “Ah, no, not in the least,” was the ready answer. “Then its all right; we’ll be married to-night instead of Wednesday. Betty, you telephone half the people on this list, and Mrs. Kenyon you telephone the other half from your house.” “But, Helen,” objected Elizabeth, her words coming in gasps, “we-never—the cakes aren’t baked—the dishes—the decorations—” “Now, don’t worry,” begged Helen. ‘‘Everybody bakes on Saturday. I’ll just borrow the cakes and bread. Get some of the girls to pick flowers, and others to make sandwiches, and we’ll have a lovely wedding here this very night at half-past eight.” “It's speculation when yon lose, investment when you win. 89 MEDLEY Strange enough, Helen’s informal wedding was remembered afterward as being an exceedingly pretty well managed affair. Snowy hydrangeas were stripped from the gardens, and Helen’s friends made the parlor a fit bower for any bride. Helen herself looked perfectly happy, as after the wedding she moved about among her guests, looking prettier than ever in her dainty white gown, and with her flushed cheeks and bright eyes. Everyone except Elizabeth, who still looked bewildered, was satisfied. “Never mind, Betty, dear,’’ whispered Helen on her way to the train, “I’ll plan a perfectly conventional wedding when your turn comes.” “No you won’t,” retorted Elizabeth with unusual spirit. “I’ll do my own planning.” “Ah, you’d better let me,” Helen again suggested. “No, I’ll do it myself,” answered Elizabeth. “I wouldn’t be surprised if you'd make a mistake and marry me to the wrong man.” Marguerite Citizen, ’ll. “CHERRY-RIPE” There is a garden in her face Where roses and white lilies blow; A heavenly paradise is that place Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow: There cherries grow which none may buy Till “cherry-ripe” themselves do cry.

The unusually long social season, extending from September to June, certainly gives us plenty of time for fun and frivolity, and in former years, class parties were almost of as regular occurence as monthly reports (horrible thought). Alas! this year we have heard no mysterious mutterings of “social doings” among groups of classmates in dark corners of the hall, so that no aliens might learn of the place appointed for the sacred rites. The Seniors and Sophomores, sister classes, have one lone party each to their credit; the Seniors a Hallowe’en party at the home of Miss Josephine Snapp, and the “Sophs” an informal and charming dance at Jack Palmer’s. The German Club, however, has been as popular as ever. Two meetings have been had, both at the hospitable home of Miss Myrtle Miller, and it it difficult to tell which was the more delightful. One was in November, 1909, and the other on December 23d, the far-famed “Christmas party,” envied by hords of non-members. Far be it from me to disclose any of the secret “stunts” of this organization. Let it only be said, that they were certainly fine, and the play given was a great success. If the class-parties were conspicuous by their absence, not so the Junior-Senior and Senior-Junior receptions. 1911-1910 The Seniors will always remember, when they are out in the wide world, the good time which the Juniors gave them on December 10th, 1910. The reception was held at the Woman’s Club, which was decorated in the Senior colors, purple and white. The first part of the evening was most agreeably filled by a very amusing and well-acted pantomine, in which William Tway, Donald Swain, and the beautiful Junior girls starred. After a delicious supper, those who were so inclined, danced, and games were arranged for the others. On the whole, we think the Juniors have made a very good start in Inter-class festivities, and wish them the greatest success in the future. 1910-1911 When the Seniors entertained the Juniors May 6th, 1910, two innovations were inaugurated. In the first place, we were not allowed to dance; and second, instead of holding the great event at the Woman’s Club, it was in the Washington auditorium. The Juniors were much mystified by their invitations and excitement was great in our historic halls in the days preceding the reception. When the guests arrived they found themselves in the midst of a Street Fair, with all the fakes and “stunts” of such an entertainment. When they had spent all their paper money, “The Lamentable Tragedy of Julius Caesar,” with variations, was given in true, grand style by our most famous musical artists. The costumes and armour, as well as the tunes and cake-walking, were sources of uproarous mirth. The play was vigorously applauded, and after a charming supper in which, as in the decorations the colors of the Junior class, green and white, were carried out. The guests departed at a late hour, well satisfied with their evening’s entertainment. ‘ ‘It’s no use to read the Bible unless you try to remember it. ’ ’ 92 DANVILLE ’10 MUSIC 11 The next hardest thing from getting rich is to keep from getting poor.” 93 MEDLEY D. H. S. ORCHESTRA REARICK SCHECTER TRENT BEAM ARNOLD MASSING ROUSE JACKSON ROUSE BENNETT MANY offerings, in the shape of much work, practice and time, have been offered to create “the muse of the choral lyric,” during these many moons of school work, and the lady has indeed been most propitious to those musically inclined students who have the honor to be members of the Orchestra or Semi-Chorus. Mr. Beam has had charge of the Orchestra, and has certainly made the most of the very good material he had. Our orchestra has enlivened our plays and literary programs, and has kept up the high standard of instrumental music in our High School. Many a way-farer returning home at night has seen the lights and heard “celestial strains,” which meant that the Orchestra was practising and, in the opinion of the writer, they deserve all the credit, and more than they receive. No less diligently, the Semi-Chorus, remembering the laurels won in former years, are rehearsing under the very able instruction of Mr. Mercer, and we hope soon to hear them sing, and see them win another star for our crown of victory. Already they have won in the preliminary County Declamatory Contest, and we are very hopeful of their winning again this year. D. H. S. ORCHESTRA: Flute —Walter Rearick.

To meet this demand of blase High School students in the fall of 1909, the Medley staff girded on its armour and went out in search of a play that should be “different.” As a result of their valiant efforts, combined with those of Miss Grant, whose admirable coaching made a success possible, “The Professor” made its debut in our beautiful auditorium on Friday night, December 3rd.

H. S. auspices. Such was the “Rival by Request,” which will remain among the brightest of the innumerable and brilliant achievements of the class of 1910. Miss McFarland had charge of this successful play, and we are certainly inclined to think her coaching of the best. The interpretations of the various parts were excellent, and the actors threw themselves into their parts with an enthusiasm which led to success. Ralph Yeager, the popular star, as Walter Pierson, passing through many vicissitudes in the course of true love, at last managed to win Margaret Burnett (Florence Griffith), the aristocratic young lady, who believed he had jilted her. Her father, Robert Burnett (Ray Fox), a retired business man, nevertheless found a kindred spirit in the kindly farmer, Benjamin Briggs (Ralph Robinson), in the longing to go “behind the scenes.” Herman Bar-rick, as Lord Albert Anthony McMullin, although his identity became sadly mixed with that of Alexander Muggins (Dan Fairchild), a valet, both of whom were sent by Pierson’s well-meaning friend, Winthrop Smythe (Alan MacDonald), fell in love with Eliza Briggs (Bessie Lindsey), the uncultured but beautiful and wealthy daughter of the farmer, and in the end won her. Eleanor Brazelton, as Mrs. Briggs, was exceptionally good, and impersonated the “newly-rich” farmer’s wife to perfection. Marguerite Citizen, as the landlady, Mrs. Chatterton; and Margaret Webber, as Mrs. Burnett, the unruffled society matron, who wearied her husband by her too even temper, played their parts skillfully. “ Notoriety is a cheap kind of popularity. ” 98 DANVILLE ’10 tier ttlnb $t r ft t it b o o r ft a it b rafibenteit . .

Be she gone? am her went? Am her left? I all alone? Cruel fate to treat I so! Her really hadn’t ought to go. Her ne’er can come back to we; But us can sometimes go to she. Liza gramen allery mandus, Wekin make our liza blime; And in parting leave behind us Foot prints Johny sandus time. She bounces like a rubber ball; Her grin shines out on great and small. Her pompadour flops up and down; She’s known throughout all Danville town. Out on a spoon time No one nigh, Moonlight was soft, So was I; One little kiss, No one to see; I enjoyed it, So did she. 105 MEDLEY SHOOTING UP LANIGANS He blowed into Lanigans, swinging a gun and swearin’ Declarin’ Red river ’ud run Down Alkali Valley, an’ oceans of gore, ’Ud wash sudden death on the sage bushy shore, And he shot a big hole inter Lanigan’s floor. He blowed into Lanigans, swinging a gun — A new one, A blue one, A Colt’s forty four. He shot some, permiskus, where Lanigan stood, An’ would have put Lanigan in bed fer good. But th’ leg he happened to shoot in was wood. He blowed inter Lanigans, shoutin’ like mad, An ravin’ Gun wavin’ Gin ugly an’ bad, He shot a knot hole outen Lanigan’s leg— The wood one—an’ shot the bung hole outen a keg, An’ nigh let the liquor out—every dreg. An’ Lanigan, seein’ him going too far— Too frisky, (With whiskey And cash at th’ bar) Reached over and pulled out a big forty four, An’ plugged him between th’ back bar an’ th’ door Till he was less harmless than he was before. He blowed inter Lanigans, looking’ for gore, An’ tarried— We carried Him out on a door. An’ Lanigan took a big splinter o’ leg, And took out his knife an’ whittled a peg To stop up th’ hole he shot inter th’ keg.

Attracted by the rumble, I rushed me to the door, Just in time to see it vanish ’Round the corner of the store. But in that partial second, That glance showed me the light; It was Sunday’s Water Wagon, Each man’s face expressing fright. I dropped me on my shin-bones, And offered up a prayer To the shades of old Milwaukee To keep me off of there. Alas! I prayed quite vainly, For coming down the street, Was the second subdivision Of the Water Wagon fleet. It slowed up, and it halted Right in front my very house, And my faithful instinct told me I had had my last grand souse. With moaning and with wailing Did I mount its aqua tank; And o’er its rounded surface Dangled both my spindle shanks. As we turned a fearful corner We saw sitting in the road, A burning fuse and powder About ready to explode. It roared, and then I vanished Toward the heavens, broad and flat, Then fell, and landed safely In a boiling brewing vat. 108 MEDLEY They wrote upon my tombstone, For I died from shock of joy, Here lies one more jolly fellow, Lack of liquor did destroy. As I winged my journey upward (?) “Full” of nectar of the gods, I thought “if it had fizzled” We were taking awful odds. And I tho’t how true the saddest Of all words of tongue or pen, Are in this simple sentence, “It could, it might have been.” “Dippie” Robinson. Mollie went to the country, Nobody knows why she went, But when she came back Her eyebrows were all bent. If she’d gone a little sooner She’d met Professor Mooner, Who’d straightened her eyebrows out With his patent medicine for the gout, She is back here just the same, No one knows from where she came; Her left ear is kinder lame, I think some country boy’s to blame, For trying to bite his name—in her ear. She dropped her glove; He raised his lid, And picked it up With “Oh, you kid!” “How dare you, sir?” He smiled at her— “Excuse me, miss; I’ts just like this— I meant the glove.” I wish I were an elephant, And you a bale of hay; I’d pack you in my little trunk And carry you away. 109 MEDLEY MANAGERIE Yellow (streak) hammer Stork____________ Crane _________________ Parrot_____ Black Bird Crow_______ Bee________ Jew Duck Goose____________ Mud Hen Swallow .

Here’s to the cup we love to sip; It has dried many a pensive tear. ’Tis not as sweet as a woman’s lip, But a blamed sight more sincere. The school is full of flunkers, And he that would none view, Must shut himself up in a cave, And break his mirror too. 110 — C. E. Lawyer. DANVILLE ’10 ALGY AND THE BEAR Algy met a bear; The bear was bulgy; The bulge was Algy. There was a little girl named Jenny Who said “kiss me darling” too many; She said it to Moore, but don’t any more, ’Cause the blame fool took too many. When to Physics II I go, A little prayer I utter low; I say in accents soft and deep, Please, Mr. Stull, please let me sleep. The prisoner sat on the burning deck, A chain was linked around his neck; Where he came from no one can tell, But where he’s going to, we all know well.

Oh, I don’t know who started it. They called me over to the window, but I didn’t stay long, as it was too high. As to what they saw, I suppose, you know. Nothing unusual, however, so calm yourself.
