MEDLEY THE MAROON AND WHITE THREE YEARS AGO, in 1907-1908, the maroon and white had its beginning and since that time it has developed in all departments and along all lines. 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
