T7MGHT YEARS have gone by since the publishing of the first volume of The Medley, and as many classes have passed from our school, each one setting a new record for the following class to equal. Now, despite the fire and delay that it caused, the class of nineteen eleven presents this book, the eighth volume of The Medley, as a faithful record of the past high school year, and with it we rest our claims to have surpassed, or at least equalled, the record set by the preceding class. 3 THE MEDLEY a • Elizabeth M.

Great as may have seemed to us the crisis in our lives when we were transformed from “children in the grades” to “students in high school,” yet the outside world took little notice of us, and to the upper classmen we were nothing more than “an extra large and green bunch of Freshmen with which to have some fun.” What a fall from our lofty hopes of making an impression! Several days were required to adjust us and to restore our equilibrium, but soon we became aroused and resolved no longer to remain nonentities. Accordingly on September 27, 1907, we met and organized, and from that time (not boasting) we have never again been nonentities. As Freshmen we made excellent records in the student, athletic and social worlds, all of which proved prophetic of our future years in high school. As Sophomores, aided by the wisdom and small degree of common sense acquired when Freshmen, we again distinquished ourselves as members of society, as athletes and as students. Though many of our number, either being unable to maintain the high standards upheld by our class or for nobler though rather mercenary reasons, dropped back or out, yet we entered the Junior year with a fairly large class of the very best quality. And now, feeling that we must prepare ourselves to become the finest class that ever graduated, we, as Juniors, centered all our labors on acquiring knowledge and in making scholarship and literary records, indulging in but one social affair, the memorable Junior-Senior. Finally, as Seniors, our last year in high school is quickly passing by, and soon we will be Alumni. Under the faithful and excellent leadership of Frank King, we are striving—and with good results—to make this the best year of our lives. We have endeavored not to allow the necessarily increased business of Seniors to lower our standing in scholarship, but expect to maintain that untarnished to the end. In athletics we realize that we are taking with us some of the “stars, ” and while we are sorry that they cannot help in maintaining our high school records in the succeeding years, yet we are proud to have them as members of our class. Now the time that will write “finis” to our high school days has almost come. Earnestly we have endeavored to improve our time and yet to make these days our pleasantest. Though our class does not equal the preceding one in size, we have striven to make up in quality what we lacked in quantity. With this preparation we are leaving—some to battle with the world and some to battle still longer with school books; but we hope ever to remember, as we have tried to do in high school, that— “Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us foot prints in the sands of time.” 21 g- THE MEDLEY =D Frank A.

If THE MEDLEY “WHAT NEXT?” WHAT NEXT ? is a torture that never sleeps. The seared heart of the faltering man is not suffered to heal from one affliction ere another assails it; and this anticipation of the coming evil is, perhaps, one of the essential features of grief—the ever vigilant apprehension, the ever rising question. However, “there is in deep sorrow a touch of the prophetic, even. It is possible in seasons when the heart is filled with grief, and the spirit numb with suffering, that the veil which conceals the future seems to be removed, and a glance—the merest scrutiny, short and fleeting as the glare of lightning is permitted into the mystic valley before us, continuing onv ard and upward, ever growing more rugged and narrow; the road to success, the future. This picture is before one in a most melancholy state. “What next? is also the ever present question of any youth. Let us combine these two facts. If one can look into the future, and see the heights of success, even when depressed, he can be assured that youths possessing the spirit and ability common to our age, should indeed create a furore in this old world. Let the class of 1911 journey steadily onward, setting one foot securely before the other; let us meet every “What next?” with a correct and decisive answer; let us step up the mountain path of life, gather the stones of experience, so that we may, when we have reached our height, build a monument in glory of D. H. S., which has been, and ever shall be, an aid in deciding, “What next?” William Tway, ’ll. 36 THE MEDLEY : “□ McCUSKER REARICK JOHNS SWA1M BLOSE OFFICERS President_______________________ Vice-President...................

We were well represented in foot ball, as in all other athletic sports. Our Sophomore year began with Francis Ferris as our president, and under his supervision we enjoyed many social functions, while our work in athletics has never been equalled. As Juniors, we have been very fortunate in electing Donald Johns as president, and Miss Talbott as advisor. In a social way we have been very successful. The first event was a social at the home of Aline Andrus, later we enjoyed a skating party at the rink, followed by a box social at the home of Evelyn Johns. A progressive dinner was served to the class by four of its members; and we also had an excellent time at the Senior-Junior. From all indications we are sure that the once frail, little class will enter its senior year with flying colors. 39 □ THE MEDLEYr JUNIORS Bernice Acree Ed Allen Aline Andrus Russel Austin Madeline Berhalter Lucile Blair Mary Brawner Alice Breach Dorothy Brown Earl Brown Mildred Bullock Owen Burns Bernice Clem Gilbert Codings Cecil Cook Ruby Crawford Harry Crowder Sterling Cunningham Horace Cushman Sophia Dillon Teresita Dillon Byron Dague Raymond Davis Lily Depke Fred Draper Page Elliott Helen Ellsworth Pearl Fleming Helen Feldcamp Clarence Fisher Myrtle Foreman Ruby Fouteck Willa Freeland Hattie Freeman Jeanie Freeman Dorothy Garrett Ella George Frank Giddings Lela Gordy Marie Graves Augusta Hanks Jessie Hanks Will Hartshorn James Hemphill Margaret Herbst Emma Hitchens Julia Hitchens Esther Hottel Charles Howard Lee Hughes Maude Huston Abbie Huston Harold Jackson Donald Johns Evelyn Johns Mae Jones Marion Kaneen Frances Kelley Clarence Kinningham Ethel Klophel Ruth Kneedler Frances Koch Edna Leverenz Martha Love John Mathis Gladys McCune Regna Me Masters Mildred Mater Helen Mills Dan Morgan Helen Morin Oswell Morin Mae Morris Ruth Naylor Arthur North Selma Nungesser Grace Ogden Joe Patterson George Payne Maude Richards Elizabeth Roberts Lillis Robinson Adelaide Sanford Richard Satterlee Elsie Saunders Ralph Schecter Bernice Shutts Eulalie Smith Mona Snodgrass Zora Songer Pauline Spees Ethel Starkey Helen Steely Paul Swisher Grace Symons Loren Taylor Northcott Thomas Cleta Wade Hazel Waite Avannia Waldon Pearl Watson Harry Webber Joy Willison Lucille Wilson Marie Walz Ray Wyland 1 THE MEDLEY MATHIS ELLSWORTH LOVE BISHOP SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President___________________ Vice-President . ____ Secretary-Treasurer......._ Historian____________________ Chairman Social Committee ...

Why, in that day to be a Sophomore was greater than to be a king. How shall I say then, such was their love for their studies, and their eagerness for learning, and such was their contempt for all things frivolous, that not until the early winter of 1910 did they meet to make plans for social affairs. At that time, John Mathis having been chosen President, and Helen Ellsworth, Secretary-Treasurer, they felt their cause was safe. At the close of a strenuous semester, a little relaxation being required, on January twentieth, a very brilliant and enjoyable function was held at the home of Martha Love, the Juniors also were invited. Likewise the Juniors invited the Sophomores to several delightful social affairs. The Sophomores indeed give promise of great glory and honor. 43 THE MEDLEY SOPHOMORES Walter Adair Hazel Alkire Clyde Allen Glenn Alter Donald Andrews Helen Adair Lewis Basch Russel Beggs Gladys Bennett Lucile Bennet Eunice Berry Russel Blankenburg Walter Blankenburg Bion Brown Donald Brown Leora Brown Paul Brown Henri Buck Gordon Bullock William Bunting Guy Clark Harry Cameron I 'ean Campbell Pauline Carter Robert Cessna Alice Chesley Carl Citizen Chester Coe Frances Collett Frank Collard George Cookingham Burt Cooley Leoti Coombs Esther Cooper Marie Craig Hannah Cromer Harry Cummings Norman Dale Edgar Daringer Alma Davis Esther Davis Ivan Davis Ethel Dodd Ford Dwiggins Elsye Ernst Edith Fleming Lucy Fairhall Pauline Fecker Lavinia Fera Vera Fisher Elizabeth Force Albert Fox Margaret Fox Ruth French Marguerite Funk Gordon Gammel Howard Gass Arnold Glascock Julia Higgins William Halbert Joe Harshbarger Edwin Herbst Frank Hickman Ray Hixenbaugh Wallace Hixon Kenneth Holmes Gertrude Hunsaker Adlie Issacson Bessie Herren Mac Johns Mildred Johnson Ralph Jones Joanna Jones Fay Knecht Philip Krauel Rose Klein Abe Levin Gertrude Lyons Margaret McClenathan Marie McGilligan Nellie Makemson Alice Massing Ella Murphy Marguerite Myers Ruth Myers J.

Almost the entire class gladly accepted the invitation. The Alumni were not so numerous, in proportion, for a few years makes a vast change in a community of young people, for like the leaves of the forest they are scattered widely. The last event of pleasant times is apt to be a sad one. The last month had been so full of hurried exams., practisings, eager questions,— well, so full of everything that makes the graduating season memorably sweet. The Alumni banquet was given a few weeks after graduation —oh, not long enough after for the girls to have soiled their dainty dresses, or for the boys to have gotten their suits out of press, but just long enough for the Alumni members who were away at college to return home. Although somewhat wary of the promised invitation, each nineteen tener arrived with a happy smile. Each was first required to don a white muslin hood, which was very similar to a two year old’s, ornamented at the ties with large, purple paper rosettes (white and purple being our class colors). After due admiration had been given to the effect of these funny night-caps, slips containing foolish verses were given out, which the members of 1910 were to learn. The familar “stunt” of examining at once began, after which the class was marshaled to the platform. Seated on the platform, with the Alumni Association as an audience, and with Bernard Austin, in long duster and spectacles, as an old fashioned school master, scenes of our childhood were re-enacted. As the names of the members were called each walked, ran, stumbled, or in some manner gained the middle of the platform, where he recited the little “piece” which had just been given him. Some had memory failure and required prompting; some spoke in a high voice similar to the trumpet of Gabriel; others talked so low and fast that the benefit gained from their recital is to be doubted. There were many interruptions, as the master felt called upon to jump over chairs and literally yank quarrelsome lads from their seats. After this exciting session of play like school —unfortunately for many the last of any kind of school—programs, similar to dance programs were given to every one present. Subjects such as strolling and studying were on these cards, about which we were to converse with our partners, while an orchestra played delightful music. At a late hour a delicious banquet was served, not merely refreshments, but many good “eats,” daintly arranged. The table was artistically decorated in the class colors, while a place card of purple and white was at each plate. The election of officers followed, after which the revelers sauntered homeward through the white moonlight, thinking of the school days past, the delightful evening just experienced, and of the dim mysterious future. 49 THE MEDLEY SENIOR WEEK THE most enjoyable yet the saddest part of your high school career is the last week of school. Before you gleams the glittering open door to the outside world, so enticing and attractive, but between you and the goal there looms up the memorable class day and the never-to-be-for-gotten commencement, when you and fifty-one others received your diplomas as a reward for your four years of faithful and diligent study. At last you reach the door, and as you sever one by one the ties which bound you so closely to your school, the guiding and steadying hand of the Alumni Association gently leads you into the larger world of business. BACCALAUREATE On Sunday morning, June 3d, 1910, the class of nineteen-ten assembled at the Presbyterian church, where Reverend Shawhan addressed the class. Long will they remember the inspiring words and helpful advice of one who was always their friend and ever looking after their welfare.

Spirit was good and glee ran high, The end of the season had now drawn nigh; No one had downed us in fair contest, And that was the part that we liked best. Now came the game that we feared most, We tried our steel with the Springfield host; Beat them? well you may be sure we did— Why when we got thro’ their faces they hid; What was the score that honor brought? It was big seventeen to wee little nought. Just look at these names and you can see To us the championship needs must be: Gene Perry and Supple and Indian Brown, HerPst and Polk, these names put down; Mathis and Bishop and Danny and Hum, Johnson, Dague, Fisher and Cammy come, And then, if these men were not enough, We’d need but to mention Turk Fleming and Stuff. The football season has now gone past, The championship is ours at last; So hurrah for the boys in Maroon and White Who honored our name in the championship fight. j. c. M- THE MEDLEY 53 MORGAN BROWN SUPPLE OFFICERS President___________ Vice-President______ Secretary-Treasurer John L. Supple _Bion Brown Dan Morgan UR ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION is an organization of which Danville High School is justly proud. Originating with the beginning of athletics on a large scale, it has loyally supported all forms of athletics. Never before or since its beginning has there been an organization which so fully embodies that school spirit and enthusiasm necessary to enable athletes to reach their highest standard. We may point with pride to the great trail rope of victories hanging to Danville’s balloon, especially those made in foot ball the last three years. In 1908 we were considered the lightest team in the state, yet, through the medium of the athletic association as boosters, we defeated Tuscola for the first time in our career, but owing to the loss of one of our best men we were defeated by Urbaoa. In 1909 we again carried off a large majority of victories, defeating Urbana, our dealiest rival by a score of 17 to 12. Only two defeats were suffered during the remainder of the season. But best and greatest of all is the season of 1910, we scoring 224 points against our opponent’s 8. While not so successful in track, we have developed men capable of placing in the state meet, and others who established records in the county. From this brief outline you can see how the athletic teams from Danville High School have put Danville on the map. Behind the teams is the Athletic Association, and it is safe to say that a team cannot be successful unless there is a strong organization pushing it, such as we have in our association. 54 THE MEDLEY ATHLETICS AS SEEN BY AN ALUMNUS HILE ATHLETICS have always played a prominent part in Danville High School, it has only been in the last several years that the close attention of outsiders has been drawn to the very brilliant showing of those fighting for the “Maroon and White” on the gridiron, field and track. Indeed, they have well deserved the support that has been given From mere contestants for county and sectional championships, Danville’s athletes have come to be recognized as dangerous rivals for state honors. This success has not been due to any superiority of the present athletes over those of a decade ago, for in individuality the members of the 1902 foot ball team, which won the Eastern Illinois championship, probably outclassed the members, as individuals, of the past year’s team, which unquestionably won second place, and rightfully first place, in the state. Rather it has been due to the hearty support and co-operation of the faculty and the entire student body that such a representative team has been put in the field. The confidence and perseverance which this support caused, together with the excellent team work developed by the coach, formed a combination, which as results have shown, was hard to beat. As long as the faculty and the students work together and prejudices are forgotten the future success of athletics in D. H. S. is assured. SUCCESS depends largely upon leadership; especially is this true in all forms of athletic activities. This was admirably demonstrated by the successful foot ball team the local High School “turned out” this year. Under the leadership of Charles Arnett Sumner, the best ’Varsity in the history of the school was developed, a team strong enough to justly claim the state championship. Before a coach can expect to develop such a successful team he must first win the confidence and good will of his players. Mr. Sumner had the personality that enabled him to do this, and to keep a large number of aspirants “trying out” for a place on the team. Not only did Mr. Sumner have the unusual ability to inspire confidence in his men, but he knew the game thoroughly. He had played under such able directors as File and Prichard, and had once before, in 1908, created a winning team for the local school, when his second team defeated the ’Varsity, and successfully “played out” a strong schedule. This experience strengthed by the natural instinct of an athlete enabled Mr. Sumner to keep his players in excellent physical condi. tion, to teach them the finer points of the game, and to work out a system of plays, which combined with the strong material at his command, made possible a state championship team. them. COACH”SUMNER 55 GLENWOOD HENRY, Manager '0 SMALL element in the success of a winning team, is the fitness of the manager for his position. It is he who labors behind the scenes, accepts responsibility, takes blames, works hard generally, and keeps out of the lime-light. A good manager should not only be a business administrator, and an all-round athlete, but one who holds the respect of the men on the team he serves, and the good will of the student body that they represent. In these essentials Mr. Henry is eminently qualified for athletic management. When he assumed his duties at the beginning of the foot ball season, not a game had been scheduled. Notwithstanding this handicap he made up strong schedules for both the first and second teams. t At heavy expense a number of out-of-town teams were brought to Danville, and all were well entertained. Altho incidental expenses were high, the season closed with a surplus in the treasury. Visiting players were impressed by the hospitable and gentlemanly treatment accorded them by the Danville management. Mr. Henry is nowhere more at home than in the gymnasium or on the gridiron. He was on the foot ball team during his four years in the Craw-fordsville High School. He also played basket ball, and was a point winner in track and field events. He has a high school record of 5 feet, 4 inches in the high jump. „ His athletic career in college was quite in keeping with this auspicious beginning. On the formidable Wabash College team he was half-back for one year and quarter-back for three years. For three years he played guard in basket ball, captaining the team in his Sophomore year. At the same time he took a lively interest in track events, in oratory, and in the various enteipiises of student life, all the while maintaining a high average of scholarship. In the Danville High School Mr. Henry’s interests are not confined to athletics. He is a ready assistant in literary work, in dramatics, and he participates freely in student social life. 5G O---..-- THE MEDLEY Coach _________ Manager________ Captain________ Medical Advisor OFFICERS -. .Arnet Sumner Glen wood Henry .Clarence Fisher Dr. Dickson 57 BROWN HAHNE FLEMING JOHNSON SUMNER (Coach) HUMRICHOUSE HERBST CAMERON WHITLOCK MCCORD MATHIS FISHER Capt.)

PROMPTLY at 3 P. M. Crawfords vile kicked to Danville and straightway the ball was brought back to the 20 yard line by plunges and kicks; Crawfordsville got the ball but lost it on a fumbled forward pass. Danville with cross bucks and end runs carried the ball to the 15 yard line, but lost on a fumble. Crawfordsville went down the field with several successful forward passes and end runs to Danville’s 10 yard line. Danville here kicked and Chadwick returned the ball. By means of the “C” formation and fake kick, and with two clean forward passes, Morgan was pushed over the line on a skin tackle for the first touchdown. Danville kicked goal, score 6-0. Chadwick for the visitors, kicked to Morgan, who advanced the ball fifteen yards, and then kicked. The visitors lost the ball on downs and the locals carried the ball by the clever work of the back field to the Crawfordsville 15 yard line. Morgan tried for a field goal but failed; play was resumed and Crawfordsville fumbled on the 25 yard line. McCord was tried for an end run, and went over for the second touchdown. For several minutes the play swayed back and forth, the quarter ending with the ball on the 30 yard line of the visitors. Score Danville 12; Crawfordsville 0. During the first three minutes of play Danville worked the ball down to Crawfordsville’s 15 yard line, and Morgan was worked along for an end run and another touchdown, kicking a beautiful goal. The visitors braced and kept the locals on the defense for the remainder of the quarter. Two successful forward passes, cross bucking, and an end run carried the visitors to Danville's 9 yard line, and they were playing strong for a score when quarter ended. Score, Danville 18; Crawfordsville 0. The last quarter opened with determination written on the faces of each of the visiting teams and a gain of six yards was made during the first few minutes, the ball resting on Danville’s 3 yard line, and a score for Crawfordsville seeming certain. The visitors lost on downs. Danville kicked to safety, but the ball was returned, and Crawfordsville thinking not to be blanke 1 tried for a field goal, but failed. Play was resumed on the 25 yard line, with Danville hovering over the pigskin; two line plunges and several end runs netted 20 yards, but lost the ball. Crawfordsville attempted a quarter back run but fumbled. Danville captured it, and with a series of mixed plays advanced to the visitor’s 30 yard line, and on a forward pass McCord took the ball over for the down, and Morgan kicked goal. The quarter ended with the ball in play well toward the center of the field. THE LINEUP DANVILLE CRAWFORDSVILLE Herbst------------- L. E.______________ Brown Mathis----------- —L. T.

The defeat was the worst defeat that Springfield had ever received since the time when Moline defeated them at Moline in 1906; also this was the first time in eight years that Springfield had not scored on an opposing team. The game started promptly at 2:30p. m., and it was a victory for Danville at the start, for a touch-down was made immediately, and another was made in rapid order. The line of Springfield was literally torn to pieces by the mad rush of the interference on the Danville team, and their line seemed to crumble before the speedy warriors on our team. The team work of the Danville aggregation was the best that had ever been seen on the Springfield grounds. The interference was head and shoulders above that of Springfield players, and only two or three of their men seemed to be any trouble, and they certainly did play good foot ball. Springfield's back field was powerless before the stone-wall defense of the Danville team. The game ended with the ball in Springfield territory with a possible touch down for Danville at any moment. McCord, Brown and Mathis were the stars of the Danville team, although every man on the team played an exceptionally good game. For Springfield Lyons, Locke and McCullough were the stars, and performed some very spectacular work. By defeating Springfield in this game Danville proved to the other schools of the state that they were alone the only team that could claim state championship, and it must be given to Danville, as Rockford’s record will not compare with the record of Danville High School.

In this meet our men showed up well, Mathis establishing a new high school record for the 440 yard run, the time being 53t seconds. The county meet took place next at Catlin. Although not winning the meet, Danville made a much better showing than she has for years. The places captured by Danville were: Wintrowd -----------------------------2d in mile run Koch---------------------------- 1st in half mile run Brown --------------------------- 3d in broai jump Mathis------------------------- 1st in 440 yard run Mathis ....................... 3d in 50 yard dash At the state meet Danville repeated what was done in 1S05, when McCusker secured a third place. Mathis won third place in the 440 yard run. Wintrowd and Koch also did creditable work. The prospects for 1911 are very good for a winning team. Out of over thirty candidates several “stars” have developed, and from all indications Danville will win the county track meet. 65 Q— THE MEDLEY Q OWING to the lack of a good place for practice and to the lack of funds, basket ball was not supported this year by the Association. The material, however, was of the best, and there is no doubt but that a winning team could have been developed. For a coach Mr. Henry is one of the best, and with his experience and training to back up the splendid material, Danville should have had a formidable team. THE MEDLEY AT A MEETING of the Athletic Association it decided not to have a ’Varsity base ball team, and to put the extra effort into the track team, since a majority of the high schools do not have base ball teams, and besides this, school base ball is a losing proposition in a league town. However, Danville High is not entirely without the game, for the Seniors and Sophomores have organized a team to beat the Juniors and Freshmen. Both sides are evenly matched and the result is doubtful, so there is promise of exciting times in the inter-class series. The best base ball talent in school is equally divided among the classes, and this is represented in Morgan, Burns, Tinker, Driver, Johnson, Taylor, Brown and Supple. In addition to this the Faculty has agreed to play the winner of the series. 67 □ = THE MEDLEY — Q GIRLS’ ATHLETICS KLOPHEL BABCOCK LITTLE ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President_______________________ Ruth E.

The games were played at the Jackson School Court, with Bernice Acree as manager. Considering the number of girls in our High School very few took part in the tournament, but those who did enter represent our best players.

MEDLEY PLAY “THE FRESHMAN” ON FRIDAY EVENING, December 9th, 1910, the High School Auditorium was almost entirely filled with an eager, expectant audience, awaiting the first display of the dramatic talent of the Senior Class. Promptly at eight o’clock (showing that promptness is one of the many good qualities of the Seniors) the entertainment was opened with an instrumental solo by Miss Ruth Guy, followed by a violin solo by Miss Daisie Jackson. Then the curtain arose ! A charming musical, and decidedly original scene of a gathering of college girls with the almost inevitable “serenade” by the boys, followed. After a “sleepy song” the curtain fell on the prelude to the play proper. During a short intermission Miss Jackson rendered another pleasing selection on the violin. Then began “The Freshman.” For about an hour the audience was delighted with alert, spicy acting. Dullness formed no part of the performance, every character being full of life and energy. The hero and heroine were such not in name only. “Little Violet” was a flower to be proud of, and “Horace” seemed a natural born darky. All other characters were equally good, and of one thing we are sure—the class of 1911 is making itself a record in dramatic talent. Music between acts was furnished by Miss Jackson and Donald Swaim. The cast was as follows: John Worden_____ “Pick” Jerome ... “Bud” Stevens___ “Tiny” MacGrath “Owl” Griggs.... Prof. Locke______ Mary Locke_______ Miss Porter______ Judith .......... Horace........... Violet___________ _____Howard Clapp .Elliott Van Frank .......Owen Burns _____Walker Bell _____George Ludwig ........Frank King Marie Prendergast .....Estelle Love ...Alice Sinsabaugh .....William Tway _____Madge Olmsted The decided success was greatly due to Miss Talbott, who coached the play. 72 THE MEDLEY SENIOR PLAY “WON BY WIRELESS” THE NIGHT of March 17th, an unusually large and appreciative audience assembled to witness the second Medley play, “Won by Wireless.” The first part of the program was a very clever farce, entitled, “Her Weekly Allowance.” Mrs. Jack Gebbitts, a young wife, certainly did make her weekly allowance look bad, and then she was so economical too (?), but with so many tactful agents she just couldn’t resist.

Between acts was a cornet solo by Joe Patterson (who knew that he played the instrument); and also the world-wide famous orator, Chas. Howard, “counted” that is, gave his most glorious and inspiring oration entitled, “The Count. ” Next came the play, which consisted of three acts. It was without doubt one of the most up-to-date plays ever given by high school students. The three acts were all “On Board the Mistress Mary,” and two little love affairs were quietly going on—one between the wireless operator and the daughter of the owner of the Mistress Mary, and the other between the maid and the Captain of the ship. While the poor Count was left out all around. Lady Constance did try so hard to have her sister marry him, but the father interferred. Only seven made up the cast, but each distinguished himself for his gracefulness and perfect manner. The success of the play was largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss MacFarland, who has before proved herself an efficient coach. The following was the cast of characters: Kitty Lee (Geraldine’s Maid) .............. May Babcock Robt. Faulkner (Capt. of “Mistress Mary’’)___Wm. Tway Wm.

H. S. has once more a glee club. Starting practice on Monday, February sixth, under the excellent leadership of Mr. Marsh, the boys succeeded in overcoming the first difficult spasms and were able to make a joyful noise at the Lincoln program the following Friday. Since then the club has given many good programs, with the assurance of many more. Then here’s to the Glee Club, and may they surpass all others in the history of the school. OR several years Danville has had a winning semi-chorus, and this year has not proved an exception. Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Mercer the girls succeeded in winning first place in the preliminary meet at Catlin, and in carrying off first prize in the county meet at Rossville, May 5th. This is the second time in succession that they have won the pennant, and if they succeed in winning it next year it is theirs for The members of the semi-chorus are: First Sopranos—Mae Morris, Willa Freeland, Julia Hitchins, Lucile Bennet, Esther Schott, Esther Hottel; Second Sopranos—Mildred Robinson, Alice Massing, Lucile Wilson, Ruth Myers; Alto—Zora Songer, Pauline Spees, Gladys Bennet, Dorothy Garret, Augusta Hanks. THE GIRLS’ SEMI-CHORUS all time. THE MEDLEY 77 THE MEDLEY BLANKENBURG ROBEY BISHOP MOORE JACKSON PATTERSON GRAVES MATHIS MILLS 78 THE MEDLEY THE MAROON AND WHITE THE MAROON AND WHITE, our monthly paper, has become one of main features of high school spirit, since its organization four years ago. It has gradually become larger and more entertaining as each new staff has taken up the responsibility of endeavoring to please the students. The publishers this year have set a high standard and if each succeeding board raises the mark still higher, in a short time it will be the best paper in the State of Illinois. We were very fortunate in selecting such an excellent staff as we have had this year. The editor-in-chief, Harold Jackson, has shown splendid ability in arranging the material and in writing snappy editorials. Harold Moore, as business manager, has succeeded very well in controlling the finances and general welfare of the paper. Everybody has enjoyed the fine stories which Edna Blankenburg has procured for the literary department. John Mathis has succeeded in making records, as athletic editor, with the same ability as on the track and gridiron. With interesting news items from within and about the school, Marie Graves has supplied us most faithfully. We were unfortunate in losing Joanna Jones as exchange editor, but her place was well filled by Helen Mills. Miss Robey has kept us in communication with former students and teachers by her new and original ideas in the Alumni columns. There is nothing that adds more to a paper than spicy, clean-cut jokes, and therefore it will be hard to find someone to take Lew Bishop’s place. And last but not least is Joe Patterson, who has drawn the beautiful covers and the suggestive headings for the paper. This completes the 1910-11 staff, who with the aid of student contributions have given us a paper to be proud of. 79 __ THE MEDLEY ATHENAEUM LITERARY SOCIETY LITTLE MOORE KING TWAY OFFICERS President_______________________________ Ruth E.

Tway WHY are so many people staying in the Assembly this evening? ” “Don’t you know that this is the regular evening for the Athenaeum program? Nearly everybody stays, for their entertainments are so good. Tonight their famous German Band makes its first appearance.” Such is the general conversation heard once a month in the upper hall. Our society has been “doing things” this year. With excellent officers and capable committees to formulate the plans, and with willing and talented members to carry them out, we have put forth some of the best entertainments in the history of the society. Unsurpassed talent has been shown in all the branches of its work, and all indications point to a victory for us in the annual contest. Our debaters cannot be beaten, our orators are second to none, while our actors show unquestionable ability and originality on the stage. Can the outlook be brighter ? Our members are in constant demand for programs, for plays, and for positions on the staffs of the school publications. They are recognized for their originality and general ability. The name “Athenaeum” stands for success. 80 THE MEDLEY ADARIAN LITERARY SOCIETY BEYER PRENDERGAST MATER BURNS OFFICERS President....................... Bessie G. Beyer Vice-President_____________________ Mildred Mater Secretary-Treasurer______________________Owen Burns Chairman Program Committee_______Marie Prendergast THE ADARIAN LITERARY SOCIETY under the management of Miss Bessie Beyer has enjoyed its most successful season. Having defeated the Athenaeums in the annual contest, it has been our ever present desire to continue along the primrose path of success. We have also been delighted by the work of a program committee, which has been most efficient in procuring delightful and highly intellectual talent for our meetings. Our programs have been especially interesting and we drew large crowds, who “vowed that we were the best ever;” it being our constant endeavor to favor the school with something new and something that would make the name Adarian stand out as a peer among the literary societies of our city. Our orators have nearly put Demosthenes out of the running; our Glee Club would make Melba and Caruso ashamed of themselves, while our debaters and wranglers have been throwing a shade of oblivion over the U mes of Douglas and Lincoln. Our musicians have been an unqualified success and on the school plays, the faces of Adarian musicians have greeted the public, while their music has been received with great applause. In closing this boast of ours, we, the Adarians, tender our most sincere gratitude to the faculty for the assistance they have given us, and the interest they have shown in helping us attain our present standard. We wish also to express to the school, as a whole, for the parts they have played, both as participants and as spectators. 81 Q THE MEDLEY ■ Q Tway Payre Jones Basch Hemphill Morin Kinpr Citizen Tennery Hujyhes Parsons Marsh (Coach) Cunningham Kaneen Moore Clapp Brown Schecter Patterson Howard Thomas Bloomfield Silkey Mathis THE WRANGLERS I Q—— THE MEDLEY z O AT the beginning of the present school year, in the fall of 1910, the Wranglers Club of Danville High School was first organized. Although this is the maiden effort along this line, it is for boys only. The club is in charge of the critic, Mr. Marsh, who, frequently assisted by Mr. Langdon, has given valuable advice in public speaking and parliamentary practice. A membership of twenty-five or thirty has been enrolled during the year. This may be considered a poor showing for a school of this size, however it is a number that can be more successfully handled than a larger one, for there can be no laxity or shifting of responsibility in a club of this size! The officers are elected each semester. The officers for the first semester were: President, James Hemphill; Vice-President, William Tway; Secretary-Treasurer, Frank King. Those who guided the club in the last semester were: President, Northcott Thomas; Vice-President, Charles Howard; Secretary-Treasurer, William Tway. Every young man in the society can truthfully say, “I have reaped manifold results from the time thus spent.” The work instructs you in the live topics of the day, and helps you to attain a speaker’s greatest asset, dignity and self control before an audience. The club, in future years, intends to take up inter-scholastic debating and, if possible, form a league with several other schools. Also an organization similar to the Wranglers is contemplated next year for the girls. We trust that vim and vigor will mark the future work of all the branches of the society.

Mii dred Moore ___Helen Mills ..Mary Brawner OF the many features of Danville High School which makes the days spent here never to be forgotten, the Girls’ Club holds a prominent place among the girls. Under the help and guidance of Mrs. Meeks, they meet every second Thursday for informal discussions of all subjects that appeal to girls, and are rewarded with new ideas and higher aspirations. The Girls’ Club since its organization in 1902, has exerted a decided influence on the whole High School through its influence on its girls, developing an increased spirit of fellowship and kindliness. The annual Christmas tree for poor children proved the most successful yet given, and was a source of great pleasure for the girls as well as for children to whom it was given. We hope that next year more girls will take advantage of the interest and good to be gained by being a Girls’ Club girl. 84 □= - THE MEDLEY - □ SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR THE SENIOR-JUNIOR THE SENIOR-JUNIOR, which was the first reception of the year was held at the Woman’s Club rooms December 2. It was without a doubt one of the most successful parties “ever.” The hall was decorated very artistically in the Junior colors—old gold and blue—,and the always popular cozy-corner was transformed into a little Japanese garden, with cherry blossoms in every available place, and a huge parasol in the center. This little corner attracted many, as fortunes were told here, and of course the Seniors and Juniors wished to know their “finish.” The first part of the evening consisted of a short program, followed by an indoor Track and Field Meet. It was very amusing to see the boys threading needles and the girls having their “standing broad grins” measured. Other events were the shot put, throwing a toy balloon, discus hurl, throwing a paper plate, and the hurdle race, blindfolded, and then running between two rows of chairs with broom-sticks laid across the rounds. This was perhaps the most difficult feat of all. The winners of each event were given a large tin medal of which they were justly proud. The refreshments followed the Track Meet, and they were carried out in the true Japanese style. The favors for the boys were tiny lanterns, and for the girls little parasols. Pretty dance programs, consisting of twelve dances and extras, were then given out. The dance was the last of the good time for the night. At a late hour the guests departed, declaring that they had had the best time of their gay young lives. 85 o THE MEDLEY □ CLASS PARTIES LASS PARTIES have been more than popular at school this year, especially so with the Juniors, altho the Seniors started things off. A “spud roast” was given on September 20th, by the Seniors in the woods near Roselawn. When they arrived at their destination they found their furnaces had been destroyed, “Spuds” gone, and the camp-fire already lighted. But little things like that were a small matter, and soon every one was enjoying a potato hunt. The coffee was made as soon as the furnaces could be repaired, potatoes were roasted in the ashes, and “weenies” cooked on the end of a stick. When each one had prepared his own supper all took places around the camp-fire and stories were told, each person telling something. After that, as it was then very late, all departed for a south bound Roselawn car. The chaperones were four members of the faculty. The Juniors had an unusually bright plan in their social life this year. The class was divided into sections, and each section entertained at the home of one of the members. Parties were held at the homes of Aline Andrus, Byron Dague, Russell Austin and Evelyn Johns. Each one was entirely different from the rest, and all were immensely enjoyed. It is hoped that the Juniors will keep up their good work during their senior year. The Sophomores entertained once this year at the home of Martha Love. This was a party given to the Juniors, and was largely attended, and every one had a “one grand time,” altho they were tormented “just a little” by other classmen. As is the custom, the Freshmen do not organize until their second year, and all are eagerly waiting until the time comes for them to make their debut into Higl School societv. _ THE MEDLEY 87 Q..........................THE MEDLEY Q BLINKY, OF THE U. S. A. IF you scan the map of South America you will not find the little republic of Calle Vergna, which for more than a century has held the record for South American revolutions. Nevertheless, it is there in a bright color, with the name in heavy type extending the entire length of it, and a large star showing Santa Fugo, the capital, largest city and only seaport. I have observed that for more than a century it has led all South American countries in revolutions. Indeed, Soldiers of Fortune declare that in Calle Vergna revolutions are as populor as bull fights in Seville. This is readily accepted as true, when one hears of the Calle Vergna army which met and repulsed an army of Peruvian soldiers because a donkey belonging to a Peruvian had strayed across the border into Calle Vergna, and kicked the breath out of a peddler. You may believe it or not, but at the time our story opens Calle Vergna had actually been at peace for fifteen months. But now the country was being aroused, for word had been received that Don Ferra, the Pretender to the Throne, had returned from Mexico and was in hiding somewhere in Calle Vergna. This fact alone, the inhabitants declared, meant no good. It isn’t once in years that an American is seen in Calle Vergna. This is due to the fact that Americans have no business there; also, that the people of this impudent little republic dislike Americans much the same as dogs dislike fleas. Therefore, it was small wonder that everyone stared at Blinky Jones, of the U. S. A., when he walked into the Hotel de Mayo, in Santa Fugo, and registered in very poor Spanish. Now Blir.ky Jones didn’t care a rap for all the stares and sarcastic smiles in South America, because he was used to both. Although he was but twenty-eight, he had been a Soldier of Fortune for ten years, and knew about as much concerning countries and peoples as some of the people themselves. The truth of the matter is, Blinky had been in Santa Fugo once before and had barely escaped with his life when he led an attack against the President's palace, with the expectation of being made Chief Advisor to Don Ferra, the Pretender, should they succeed. But a traitor had given the plans to the President’s army, and the Pretender and his followers had been put to flight. Blinky had managed to reach Buenos Ayres several weeks later in a starved condition, and in a few days met no other person than Don Ferra. Both at once began plotting and in several years everything was in shape to renew the struggle. Don Ferra returned to Santa Fugo several months ahead of Blinky, and was living in seclusion with his beautiful daughter, Inez, on the outskirts of the city, patiently awaiting Blinky’s arrival. The day having been an unusually hot one, Blinky decided not to visit Don Ferra until the cool of the following morning. That evening he strolled about the city visiting many familiar places. At the Garden Theatre he looked in vain for Juanna, the Spanish dancing girl, with whom he had 88 THE MEDLEY fallen in love during his first visit to Santa Fugo. He inquired of the theatre attendants concerning her. Oh, Juanna? Why, she had left two years before, soon after her lover, an American pig, had fled the country, and that was all they knew. Blinky left the theatre disheartened. Don Ferra was forgotten; all he thought of was Juanna. He didn’t seem to hear the band concert, which was a nightly affair on the Palace Square. He paid no attention to the little ragged girl who begged him to buy her flowers. He wasn’t insulted when a drunken sailor jostled him, and he failed to see two government agents eyeing him. Juanna was all he saw, all he thought. Although Calle Vergna is lacking in many things modern, its system for spreading news is unequalled anywhere in the world. No sooner had the two agents of the government seen Blinky, than they recognized him. Within twenty minutes every policeman, agent and soldier in the city of Santa Fugo knew that Blinky, of the U. S. A. was in town. Immediately it was decided to place him under arrest, force him to reveal the whereabouts of Don Ferra, throw them both into prison, and thus break up the conspiracy against the glorious and all-powerful republic of Calle Vergna, South America. These plans being settled upon, the entire standing army of the republic, some three hundred strong, and the police with nearly twenty-five members, set out to capture Blinky, just as the clock in the Cathedral tower struck ten. Meanwhile, Blinky wandered about the city mourning the loss of the fair Juanna, and ignorant of his peril. He wondered if he would ever see her again, and if she would be married. This last thought made him grit his teeth, and he cursed his fate for the thousandth time. Along the water front a large stone wall had been erected for the purpose of defense, should any hostile nation seek to invade the city. It was moss covered, was this wall, and on warm evenings many people sought refreshment by sea breeze there. Tonight, however, no one was within sight when Blinky climbed upon it and sat beneath the stars smoking cigarettes, and wishing something would happen to take his mind off of Juanna. A dark object silently gliding along the wall attracted Blinky’s attention. Before he could utter a word a hand was clasped over his mouth, and a man whispered in Spanish, “Quick, Senor, the police have discovered you; you are in great danger. Don Ferra awaits you in the shadow of the Old Fountain, where you will also meet Ignaz and his men. Quick, Senor, before it is too late.” “Ah, it is you, Toluza Mongaza, how glad I am you came. How came they to find me out?” “Don Ferra has spies among the police, as he always had,— but hurry, Senor, hurry I say,” and with that the figure disappeared in the darkness. With the fleetness of a fawn, Blinky leaped from the wall and dashed in the direction of the Old Fountain. Previous experience had taught him the folly of delay in Calle Vergna. Up side streets and across the Palace Square he hurried, keeping a sharp lookout all the time for his pursuers. 89 □ THE MEDLEY □ Once he ran into a knot of soldiers, but none recognized him and he passed on. Arriving at the Old Fountain he beheld half a dozen men crouching in the shadows. “Ah, my Yankee,” whispered Don Ferra as he hurried forward to him, “our work is cut out for us tonight. The President is strong, but we can defeat him with ease. Come, let us retreat to safer quarters.” Midnight had been proclaimed by the Cathedral clock, and the city of Santa Fugo seemed fast asleep. The full moon gave the earth the appearance of day, and the air was perfumed with the fragrance of all the plants peculiar to a tropical country. Across the Square the sentry paced to and fro before the Palace; to the east of the Square, where stood the Hotel de Mayo, two soldiers sat in silence smoking. A dog skulked toward the fountain, drank and disappeared, just as a light appeared in an upper window of the palace. Why this light? A shot rang out, and the sentry fell to the ground. Instantly all was confusion, and the Square was filled with people. Down the Avenue a body of horsemen dashed into the Square. In the moonlight Don Ferra was recognized as the leader, and a score of shots was aimed at him. Then the firing began in earnest. The soldiers and police surrounded the Palace and met with a deadly fire the mob which was led by the Don. All Santa Fugo was now awake. From all directions the citizens, carrying guns, emptied into the Square. Some joined the soldiers, while others sought the ranks of the Pretender, and at one by the clock, both sides were ready to see who should rule Calle Vergna—the Pretender or the President. At two by the clock, fully one half of Don Ferra’s followers lay dead before the Palace, and the Don himself was nursing a bullet in his arm. At three by the clock, both sides had suffered severely, and the Pretender withdrew his forces to the outskirts of the city, where they would rest until night before renewing the attack. Once again night had settled over Santa Fugo. Black clouds hid the moon, and by midnight a storm of unusual violence raged over the city. “We will have them tonight, my Yankee, ” said Don Ferra to Blinky, shortly before they started for the Palace to renew the attack. “Yes,” answered Blinky, “providing this storm lasts. Remember, Don Ferra. tho old President is no child, and if we defeat his men we should consider ourselves fortunate.” “His men are destined to defeat. Let us go.” Again they crossed the city, and again they bathed the Palace Square in blood. Never in the history of Calle Vergna had the soldiers fought better. They met with fire and bayonet the many attacks of Don Ferra, and they slaughtered the revolutionists almost to a man, and Don Ferra, Blinky and the surviving few fled for their lives, just as they had done two years before. Calle Vergna was not to be ruled by the Don. With the lightning to guide them, the rolling thunder to confuse them and the rain to drench them, Blinky and Don Ferra fled into the mountains in a vain effort to get away from Santa Fugo. For two days they wandered 90 P THE MEDLEY ----------------------------Q in the great Andes, lost and hopeless. Near the end of the third day Don Ferra lost his footing and fell into a ravine, far below. With difficulty Blinky reached him, and found him to be seriously injured. “To think,” he moaned, “that I must die without seeing her again.” “Who?” inquired Blinky. “Inez, my daughter; Ah! ’tis cruel, this fate.” “And, I too, must perish without my Juanna,” sobbed Blinky, thinking for the first time in days of his sweetheart. “Ah!” and he wept like a child. Don Ferra sat up. “Juanna?” he gasped, “Why she is in Quito; I saw her myself a few months ago, dancing in the ‘Garden of Sacred Hearts.’ ” “Hurrah!” yelled Blinky, and again he wept, but it was for joy this time, and he danced and sang and acted so queerly that the Don was puzzled. It would not do to starve in the mountains, and as the Don could not be moved it was decided that Blinkly should follow the path to the nearest settlement and bring assistance. In five days he arrived in a small village, and soon had help, and started back to the Don. But, alas! Blinky did not remember the spot, and after a search of two weeks, he sorrowfully made his way to Quito, leaving the Don to his fate. After weeks of hardships, Blinky arrived in Quito. Juanna was sought at the “Garden of Sacred Hearts,” but she had gone, nobody knew where, nor did they care. But Blinky did, and he swore an oath that he would find her if it was necessary to encircle the globe. From the American Consul he secured transportation to Bogota, where he had friends. Arriving at that city he was delighted to meet many old acquaintances, and so royally was he entertained by the American minister, that he actually forgot Juanna. He had never been in Bogota before, and the sights delighted him, and for five days the Minister forgot all diplomatic affairs, and Blinky forgot Juanna, and they both thought of nothing but pleasure. ‘ Tonight,” said the Minister, “we shall visit the theatre. I wish to show you that New York hasn’t all the pretty dancers in the world. There’s one little girl in particular who has captured all Bogota with her beauty and fine dancing,—what’s the matter, Blinky?” suddenly asked the speaker. “I was just thinking of my Juanna, and wondering if she still lives; she, too, is a dancer.” “Never mind,” said the great hearted Minister, “when you see this girl, you’ll forget your Juanna.” That night they had a box at the theatre, and enjoyed the play immensely. The dancer was the last on the program, and all the time the Minister kept telling of her. A tremendous applause caused Blinky to glance at the far side of the stage, and lo! who should it be but Juanna. He leaned forward, and she saw him and threw him a kiss, which made the Minister sit up and take notice. Immediately after the performance Blinky 91 □- = THE MEDLEY — “O hurried back on the stage, and right there in the presence of all, hugged her till she gasped, and the kisses,—ah, me! They went to the Minister’s home and were married the very next day, and every American in Bogota was there. Every body was glad except the theatre manager, who was getting rich from the big crowds Juanna drew, and he swore loud and long. And now, dear reader, we must leave them, for newly weds dislike being talked about. After Blinky got straightened out, and bought cigars for all the Yanks in Bogota, he took his bride and sailed for that dear old U. S. A. Arriving in New York, Blinky met many old friends, and soon had a good position in a wholesale house. He often took Juanna down to the East River, where the great ships from foreign lands docked, and they sometimes met Soldiers of Fortune who told them many things concerning parts of the world that the newspapers never cover. And often on winter nights they sat before the fire in their little fiat over in the Bronx, and, while the snow and sleet beat against the windows, talked of Calle Vergna, where winter is unknown. Time and again Blinky related the blood shed he had witnessed, and how he and the Don had fled that stormy night into the mountains, with only the lightning to guide them; how he had become parted by mistake from the Don, and for twelve weeks suffered with hunger and exposure, and loneliness, and always wondering if he should die without seeing his little Juanna. And always she was sad when she heard of his sufferings in that wild continent, and sometimes she wept, which made him feel guilty, and he would change the conversation to Paris hats and gowns. They still live in New York, and Blinky is a partner in the wholesale house of “Hemenway and Jones.” Juanna still likes to hear of her husband’s adventures, and is delighted when he adds (which he always does): ‘‘But, my dear, the Soldier of Fortune business is all right for some, but never again for Blinky.” And whenever one visits Blinky’s home Juanna looks sweetly at her husband and calls him, ‘‘My Blinky, of the U. S. A.” Glenn E. Alter. 92 □ THE MEDLEY Q THE FRESHMAN’S TURN HI FRESH ! Hey there, come here ! At the first call Harry Waller whirled towards his tormentors and slowly marched over to them. “Where are going?” inquired one. “Why, I’m going down town.” “And why, pray, innocent Freshman, should you go down town?” “Oh, I’m going down to Leseure’s.” “Wha-a-at! going to Leseures’? Horrible ! Shocking! Impossible!” exclaimed the horrified Sophs in a chours. “What is this old world coming to that a soft Freshman should linger around a cigar store in company with a wooden Indian?” “Well, I don’t think you had better go this afternoon,” said the leader, “for it will be far more elevating to accompany us, so come along.” With that one of the fellows took him by the arm and led him along. Harry will never forget that afternoon’s entertainment, First, they made him climb a steel pole which stood on the campus, and make a speech while holding on with one hand. Next they made him and another companion in distress have a peanut race down a cement sidewalk, and as everyone probably knows that it is rather hard to push a peanut at any speed with your nose, you may understand the difficulty Harry had in attaining any high rate of speed. After this they took him around to several professors' houses, where he was ordered to sing, but the best stunt was saved for the last. The Sophs took him to a strange girl’s house and forced him to call on her. As Harry slowly climbed the steps, the Sophs grouped themselves across the street, in high glee at the prospect of seeing him soon leave the house projected by the toe of the butler’s boot, but they waited in vain. Five, ten, fifteen minutes passed, and no Harry. Impatiently the Sophs waited an hour, then studies compelling, they turned slowly toward the campus, vowing vengance on Harry’s head. But Harry, where was he? As he walked up the front steps his heart pounded and his knees shook together, for he did not exactly relish calling on a strange girl. But he put up a brave front and knocked boldly at the door, and giving his card to the awaiting butler he stepped inside, waiting fearfully for his answer. Soon the butler returned, saying that Miss Forde would see him, and Harry immediately followed him to the library. He sat down gingerly, hoping that Miss Forde was a crabbed old maid, or at least had a high temper, so that the meeting would be short, and as he soliloquized he slowly rose and walked to the window. The first thing Harry saw when he walked to the window was his tormentors waiting expectantly for his reappearance. “Gee,” he thought, “I wonder what they will do next?” “How do you do, Mr. Waller,” said a cool voice, and he whirled suddenly to surprise a vision standing before him. “What-er-well—hello Jane. By George, that’s right, you did say you were coming here for the winter. Well, what luck,” exclaimed poor Harry. 93 THE MEDLEY “Why-er-what do you mean? Didn’t you come to see me?” It was Jane’s turn to look surprised. ‘‘Why-yes, yes-certainly, but I didn’t know you lived here; that is, I —oh—I—oh hang it all, I’ll tell you. You see I’m just a Freshman, and a bunch of Sophs caught me out here and they sent me here to make a call as they thought, on a stranger, but—by jove! that’s a good one on them. I’ve hung it on them right this time.” ‘'You mean, we have,” said Jane, ‘‘for if you get unruly I shall have to deliver you to the tender mercies of the Sophs.” ‘‘Oh, I' 11 be good, alright,” said Harry, and they immediately fell to telling each other their recent experiences. Jane Forde was the room-mate of Harry’s sister in college, but she had been forced on account of her health to go north, and as luck would have it she stopped in this small college town with her aunt, entirely unaware of Harry’s proximity. They discussed their plans for the coming winter, eagerly desirous for the opening of the social season in this little college world, and when Harry finally forced himself to leave he did so with Jane’s earnest request to ‘‘call soon,” ringing in his ears, and as he turned onto the campus, seeing some Sophs in the distance he defiantly whistled, ‘‘I’ve Got Myself a Girl, That’s All.” Loren Taylor. THE MEDLEY THE BET I. DAD!” Mr. Luxton glanced up quickly from the morning paper to see the form of his daughter, Janice, entering the room. “Well, pussy, what is it?” he asked. Janice seated herself and said quickly, “Dad, I am going to be married.” The aristocratic old gentleman let his paper fall, turned and looked out of the window a minute. “Well, Dad, may I?” “May you what, honey?” Why, I thought you said you were going to be married.” Oh, now, Daddy dear, don’t be cross, you know I shouldn’t marry anyone to whom you objected.” I know that, puss, I am just a wee bit selfish. I always knew that you would have to leave me sometime, and if he is a manly fellow, and I have no fear on that score, as you are sensible, I am glad for your sake Who is he?” “Jerry Monroe,” she replied. Well, my dear, you know that Jerry is a club man, and has been around with the fellows a great deal, but I suppose every man must have his day, and if you love him I shall not object.” Oh, Dad, I’m so happy. Kiss me now, for I am going for a jaunt in the park.” After Janice had left the room Mr. Luxton sat musing. His wife had died when his little girl was still very young, and he had tried to bring up his child as her mother would have wished. She was indeed a charming person; she had the art of making everyone love her; could be gay at the right time, serious when need be, and ever willing to help one in trouble. She was just twenty years old, but had seen two seasons of society, which had scarcely left any trace on her face or character. Admirers she had plenty, but seemed very unconscious about them. She used to say that she loved all the boys, but love in all its beauty had not been hers, until she had met Jerry Monroe, and then she gave her whole heart and soul into his keeping. II. Several months before this conversation between Janice and her father, twelve young men sat around a table at one of the clubs, gossiping as only men can, when one of the fellows suddenly said, “By jove, that Jaunice Luxton would be a great catch. She will have all kinds of money, and she’s a deucedly charming girl at that, but the trouble is she won’t have anyone. Why, I bet there isn’t a fellow among us whom she would look at twice; that is seriously, and if I do say it, we are considered very eligible men. 95 Q- THE MEDLEY Q Mr. Jerry Monroe was sipping wine during this speech, and when the man had finished he jumped up and cried, “Jonesy, I’ll call that bet. I bet you two to one that I can get that girl inside of three months. Brownie, you hold the stakes, and three months from today we shall all meet here again, and I’ll claim my money.” “Well, of all the confounded vanity,” exclaimed one of the men. “We all know you are a handsome chap and a good fellow, but I see your money slipping away.” Jerry didn’t say another word except to turn to Jonesy and remark, “Well, is it a go?” at which Jonesy held out his hand and said, “Shake.” Both men handed their money to Brownie, and Jerry left the room. After Jerry had gone, the fellows began to laugh. “Well, I believe the fellow is crazy. Why, he couldn’t touch that girl with a three rod pole,” were some of the remarks. The three months were up, and the same crowd of fellows excepting Jerry, were at the club, and were sitting with their mouths agape as one of the men read to them: “Mr. James Luxton announces the engagement of his daughter, Jaunice, to Mr. Jerry Monroe, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Monroe, of New York City. The date for the wedding has not definitely been decided.” “Well, by George,” exclaimed one of the men, “if the old kid isn’t a corker. I have seen her with him a lot, but I didn’t think he would land her. Ha! Ha! Ha! What’s the trouble Jonesy, you look”— Just then the door opened and in walked Master Jerry. The men all sprang up and cried, “Congratulations old chap. Honestly, we didn’t think you could do it. Why Jerry, old fellow, what’s up?” Jerry had become very pale and was groping for a chair. “You’ve got the girl haven’t you, and won the bet? What in the dickens is the trouble?” “That’s just it,” broke in Jerry, “I won the bet.” “A bet on what?” “On a pretty, dear, sweet, blushing girl, to whom I am engaged. Why, fellows, if she knew this she would never get over it; she’d break the engagement as quickly as that,” and he snapped his fingers. “Not that I’d blame her, but dog gone it fellows, I couldn’t give her up. Why I’m desperately in love with her, and I can’t live without her.” “Well, of all things, who ever heard such ravings from Jerry Monroe, the fellow whom every girl excepting Janice Luxton, as we thought, would break her neck to get; and he wouldn’t have any of them. The only girl he ever gave a second thought to was some Indian squaw out west, whom he always manages to see when he goes out there, and now he falls madly in love with another girl, and is afraid he is going to have to give her up. Why you know, Jerry, we are not going to tell on you. Get married, and be happy ever afterwards. Here, Brownie, give Jerry his money.” “That is all right, I don’t want the winnings; give me my money and give Jonesy his. I really couldn’t take it,” cried Jerry, and with these words he rushed out of the room. 96 □ THE MEDLEY —fa III. “Hello, Janice, this is Dot. Can’t you come over and spend the night? The folks are all away and the mice can play. We shall have a great time. Another one of our boarding school days—chafing dish, fudge and so on. It will be jolly!” “Oh, that is a dear; I knew you would. Yes, about 5:50.” Janice and Dot did have a good time, and the clock struck two before they went to bed. Dot fell into the arms of Morpheus at once, but Janice couldn’t sleep; she heard the clock strike 2:30, and then 3:00 o’clock. Almost at the same time she heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and recognized the voice of Dot’s brother talking in a half whisper, and heard him say to his companion, altho she was loathe to listen, “By jove, Jerry, you are certainly a lucky dog. You have certainly won a peach of a girl; and to think if you hadn’t made that bet about winning her you would never have thought to get her.” Then the boys entered their room, talked for a while, and finally fell asleep, as she imagined, for their conversation had ceased. Janice was sitting upright in bed by this time, pale and trembling. She wanted to scream, cry—anything, but she did nothing—just sat there until she heard Dot saying, For heaven’s sake, dear, why are you not asleep? How you are trembling. Let me call the maid.” No! no! Dot!” broke in Janice. “I’m all right; go back to sleep,” and with that she buried her head in the pillows and sobbed as though her heart would break. Why, honey, what is the matter? ’ cried Dot, and getting no answer ran into the hall. Janice's sobs had awakened the boys in the next room, and Dot’s brother, Frank, hearing his sister’s calling rushed into the hall, bumping into her as he did so. “Why, Frank,” she exclaimed with surprise, “I didn’t know that you would be home tonight, but now that you are here tell me what to do. Janice Luxton has been spending the night with me; I woke up and found her crying, and—” At the sound of his fiance’s name, Jerry ran to the door calling, “For heaven’s sake, man, come here; I heard what your sister was saying,” and before he finished Frank went back in the room slamming the door in Dot’s face, who stood nonplused. As soon as Frank entered Jerry grabbed him and said, “Great Scott! do you suppose Janice heard us talking about the bet, and so on? Oh! it serves me right. It’s all off; I see it coming. I’m going to dress and get out of this house.” “You are going to do no such thing,” interrupted Frank. “Keep still--Janice is in the next room, and can hear everything we say.’’ And she had heard every word. Heard Jerry convict himself. Oh! how she hated him! She jumped up and started to dress. “I’ll not stay in 97 □ THE MEDLEY ® this house another instant. I’m going home,” she said to Dot, who just then entered the room. “Why on earth are you going home?” asked Dot. “I simply cannot tolerate being in the same house with that detestable Jerry Monroe.” “Janice, are you crazy? Wake up, you are talking in your sleep.” “Talking in my sleep, am I?” burst in the other girl. “Well, you will think so if you don’t let me out of this room.” Dot had locked the door. “Well, won’t you at least explain your actions?” “There is nothing to explain—that’s all. I shall finish dressing, and as soon as it gets to be a respectable hour I’m going to get out of this house, for it can’t hold me and Jerry Monroe.” Dot was speechless. In the mean while the same performance was going on in the next room. “I say Frank, I’m going to leave this place as soon as it is a respectable time.” The hour of eight struck, and Jerry, who had sat by the window the rest of the night smoking cigarettes, started for the door. At the same time Janice, who had taken the key from her sleeping friend, threw open the door and stepped out into the hall, only to come face to face with her fiance. She didn’t say a word, but slipping off the diamond from her second finger, she handed it to him, then quickly rushed down the stairs, out the front door, hailed a taxi, and was off before Jerry was aware of what had happened. He then ran down the steps, hailed another taxi, and when the chauffeur asked him where to drive, he answered “To the river.” When Dot awakened she went to her brother to demand an explanation. He told her all he knew of the affair, and said he thought Janice had overheard the conversation concerning the bet of which he had spoken as they were coming up the stairs. “Oh, poor Janice! What shall she do? And it’s all your fault. Why are you always saying something you shouldn’t?” “Well, how was I to know she was in there,” broke in Frank. “And besides—” “Besides nothing,” cried Dot, and with that she sat down and sobbed. IV. “Oh! Daddy dear, are you very busy in town? Could you take me away some place—any place where it is wild and free? I want to go away! I want to go away!” “Why, Janice, what is the trouble? Isn’t this rather sudden? And besides you should be preparing for your wedding.” “I’m not going to be married,” said Janice quietly. “What?” exclaimed her father. “No, I’ve changed my mind. Won’t you please take me away?” “Well, dear, I am very busy, but I can send you with your old nurse 98 _ THE MEDLEY to visit an old friend of mine, who owns a ranch, He is a fine old gentleman, and his wife is a motherly old lady.” All right, Dad; thank you so much. You have always been so good to me.” ‘‘Never mind, dearie; go on up stairs and have your trunk packed.” After she had left the room, Mr. Luxton sat in deep thought. He wondered what had happened to Janice —that something had happened he was sure. Well, he would wait until his little girl chose to tell him. Wamba, dear, do you think that you could ever be happy any place but here.’ I think this is heavenly. Oh! the freedom of it—the birds, the trees, the brooks—everything! It is perfect. Just think, I have been out here almost a year, and I am so happy,” she sighed, but was bright and gay again in another minute. The speaker was Janice Luxton—a very different girl than when she had left New York almost a year before. She had become a child of nature, her only companion being an Indian girl, whom she had met when she first went west. A love had sprang up between the two which was almost idolatry on the Indian girl’s side, and her love was fully reciprocated. ‘‘You haven’t ever been away from here have you, Wamba?” asked Janice. ‘‘No, no; but me like to go. And yes, some day me go. I go to see white father's home, see east, when he comes,” answered Wamba. ‘‘Why, you never told me about ‘he,’ dear. Is he some tall warrior, who goes to some school east and is coming back here to take you away?” No, he no Indian; he white man. He come not often, but he love me. He say so, and I love him. Oh! I love him. His name Jerry Monroe.” Janice turned pale. Everything seemed to whirl around her, and she fell fainting to the ground. . When she regained consciousness she was lying in her bed, the Indian girl bending over her. ‘‘What is matter, Janice?” she asked. ‘‘Nothing, only I once knew a man with that name long, long ago, and-and-oh, nevermind, dear, it isn’t anything.” Wamba replied, ‘‘All right. You tell me some day. I go now. I will come back. Sleep.” Wamba, sorely puzzled, wandered down to the brook and seated herself to think. Sometimes she didn’t understand the white girl. She had often seen Janice open her locket when she thought no one was looking and kiss a picture in it. What could it mean? Suddenly she arose and ran quickly to the house and into the room where Janice was sleeping. Walking to the table she picked up a locket and ran back to the brook, Pulling a leather case from her pocket she took 99 THE MEDLEY out a small picture and compared it with the one which Janice had so often kissed. She raised the minature to her lips and sank slowly to the ground. At the rumbling of the old stage coach Janice awakened, and shortly afterwards was handed a letter, which she hastily tore open, and her face brightened as she read:— “Dear Janice, you little goose:— It’s a wonder you wouldn’t tell a person where you were going. You have kept your secret well, but we, that is to say, Jerry, Frank and myself turned detectives and located you. The idea of going out in such a forsaken place to forget someone whom you love better than life and you have cast a certain person in the depths of despair, you know who. But you are not going to be left out there to fade away. He has taken the first train to come and get you. Oh, honey, he loves you so madly, and was ashamed of the bet he made.” And Dot went on to tell how he acted on the day he went to the club, and everyone congratulated him. And ended by saying, “Bless you my child. Lovingly, Dot.” She closed the letter with a sigh, murmuring, “Dear old Dot, you have made me so happy.” She hastily dressed: she would go to New York immediately. No, she wouldn’t, she was too proud. Then suddenly the face of her Indian friend came before her. Wamba loved Jerry. Did he love her? “Oh, Dot, you may not know all, perhaps he is coming for her,” and thus meditating she walked out into the cool, fresh air. Wamba watched the last rays of the sun fade away, and taking the last look at tha picture she held, put it in its leather case. As she slowly rose to her feet she was startled by foot steps on the dry leaves. Turning quickly she beheld Jerry Monroe. “Jerry,” she cried as she ran towards him and grasped his hand. Pointing in the direction of the house she said, “She in house, you love her; she love you; take her back east to home of ‘white father’; take her with you,” and then turned and ran from him. “Wamba,” he called, “Wamba, come back,” as the figure disappeared through the trees, knowing that it was no use to follow the agile girl he walked toward the house. At the gateway stood the girl he loved. “Janice,” he said calmly looking in her eyes. “Jerry,” she cried, and for an instant drew back reluctantly, then rushed into his arms. Later—after they had talked of New York and themselves, Janice suddenly exclaimed, “Jerry, lets go find Wamba and tell her how happy we are.” Janice’s thoughts were only of her own happiness, and seemed to forget that Wamba loved him. “Yes,” he answered, “lets go and find my little friend Wamba, who ran away from me not very long ago.” They walked silently but happily through the forest. Now and then the clear silvery voice of Janice rang out calling, “Wamba, Wamba,” but no answer came, only the slight stirring of the wind among the trees and the distant echo, “Wamba, Wamba,” could be heard. Suddenly Janice stopped and cried, “Look!” Jerry looked a few feet in front of him and there he saw Wamba with a dagger in her breast. They walked over to her and found beside her a little leathern case and a locket. Janice stood with tears streaming down her cheeks. Both understood, and knelt down by her side. 100 R. Klein.

A person mud spend years of hard Study for a profession, and his time, money and labor may, in a measure, be waded, unless such an education becomes a source of income. But whether working for yourself or some one else, you mud often transad business, however simple. You mud buy and sell goods, services, etc., or you cannot live. It is difficult to conceive of any honorable labor or calling in which business is not involved. A business education is invaluable to a professional man, and in fad ought to precede one’s dudies for any profession, the pursuit of which involves many transadions. Generally speaking, a business education enables one to determine one’s adual aptitude and capacity, and in any event :-even though never the source of an income, a business education is worth all it cods. “That man is the bed educated who is the mod useful. ’ A business education increases the usefulness of of its possessor in any capacity, consequently a business education always counts for success.
