However. we know that in spite of this they are still as much interested in the High School affairs as any previous class. There are many reasons and excuses which could be given for this seeming disinterest, but to all who know our Alumni of 1911 these are unnecessary. The Alumni act as the official scale by which the standard of the school is measured. It is not the undergraduate. the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or even Senior by whom the school is judged, but the graduate, the finished product, and we may say without undue boasting, that our scale is of the highest. The colleges from north, south. east and west are glad to receive our graduates, for they know that they will easily meet their requirements, and cast honor upon the school which they attend. Again, let us praise our graduates as to their loyalty to their former school. Few schools have more loyal Alumni than has Danville High. Athletic games and scholastic contests attract as large a number of them as of undergraduates. They will fight for the school, and not a few followed the fortunes of the foot ball team when out of town, and lent their hands in rooting for the championship team when on foreign fields. So we under-graduates may see what course has been laid before us, that we may be true, loyal sons and daughters of Danville High. 20 21 D.3HL®. InmiD)ley ] V Jang 7 SENIOR WEEK, JUNE, 1911 SENIOR WEEK for the Class of 1911 began on Sunday, June 4th, with the Baccelaureate sermon, which was delivered by the Rev. Walter Aitken at the First M. E. Church. The entire class of forty-four were present at this service. On Monday evening, June 5th, the Class Day exercises were held in the auditorium of the Washington Building. The program was opened with introductory remarks by Frank A. King, president of the class. The first number on the program was a violin solo by Miss Ruth MacNulty. Following this. Miss Irene Basch read the complete history of the class, from the first entrance into public schools until graduation from the High School. The reading was accompanied by living illustrations. In the class prophecy Miss Madge Olmsted disposed of the members of the class in various and interesting ways. In singing the class songs, which came next, the girls sang well, but where were the boys? The class poem written by Miss Ruth Spandau. and read by Miss Francis Burchit, was unusually good. A flower song by ten Senior girls came next: at at its conclusion these girls chose their husbands from a number of notables, and others not so notable. The class will, which was written by Miss Edna Blankenburg. was read by Miss Marguerite Citizen. It is hoped that the members of the Class of 1912 appreciated their various legacies. The leading comedy act of the entertainment was an operation on the brain of one of the Seniors by Will Tway and Sheral Funk. The surgeons in charge succeeded in removing a number of language texts and a botony from the head of the unfortunate Senior and gained immediate relief for him. although it must be said that he recovered entirely too quickly from the effects of about two gallons of chloroform which had been injected into his head to ease the pain of the operation. The handing down of the class roll by the Senior president, Frank King, to the Junior president, Donald Johns, was an impressive ceremony. The program concluded with a class song. On Wednesday evening, June 7th, the fortieth annual commencement of the Danville High School was held in the auditorium of the Washington Building. The decorations, which had been arranged by the Juniors, were very effective. The Rev. A. R. Taylor of Milliken University, delivered the address of the evening. This was followed by the presentation of the diplomas by Mr. L. D. Gass, president of the Board of Education. The response on behalf of the class was made by Miss Elizabeth Beyer. The Semi-Chorus added to the pleasure of the evening with their selections. A complete surprise for the Class of 1911 came when Miss Josephine Blose presented Frank King, representative of the Senior Class, a large bouquet of carnations from the Class of 1912. Thus ended the career of the Class of 1911 in the Danville High School. 22 f O.JHE.®.

By going through its regular schedule without a defeat, the team has rightfully earned the highest honors in the state. Through the efforts of Coaches Bookwalter and Allen the men out for the team were rounded up after a month’s hard practice, and the season’s schedule was started. The local lads won the first two games played at home, one from Covington by a 94 to 0 score, and the other from Jacksonville. 22 to 6. At Tuscola. Danville ran up against a surprise and was barely able to get home, with a 6 to 0 victory. On the next Saturday the team made the journey to Tay-lorville, and by swimming around in the mud for four periods succeeded in winning 5 to 0. A week later Springfield’s team came up for a game, but was sent back with dampened spirits, and also a 30 to 0 defeat. The game with Champaign on November 4th, was one of the hardest propositions that Danville encoun- tered during the entire season. Thanks to the fact that there was only one Butzer in Champaign, the team was able to carry away a 6 to 5 scalp. After a week’s rest. Danville brought Watseka down and sent them back with a 39 to 6 defeat. Next came the trip to Jacksonville, where another surprise awaited the local team, when they were only able to get away with a 5 to 5 tie. Manager Henry brought the Lake High team down fora Thanksgiving feast, and the Danville team treated them unmercifully, winning by a 40 to 0 score, thus ending the most successful season ever enjoyed by a team representing this school. The record made by the team this year is one that a great many colleges might point to with pride. To be scored on by only four teams out of nine games is without a doubt the best showing that any team in the state has made. In their steady march to the championship goal, the boys have made a total of 247 points to their opponents’ 22. 55 'HolFk.m .

A (H3SDIL3EY ) V a e ii V MEMBERS OF FOOT BALL TEAM Bookwalter—“Kish.” our coach, through whose efforts Danville was able to walk away with the state championship honors. His popularity with the men and his knowledge of good foot ball helped him considerably with his work. HENRY—Manager Henry, of the Faculty, who got together a schedule that resulted in Danville meeting some of the strongest teams in the state. This was his second year in the capacity of manager. Allen—Through Jack Allen’s assistance. Bookwalter was able to develop quite a few stars from the ranks of the “rookies.” Jack had complete charge of the recruits, and his help along this line took quite a burden off of “Kish’s” shoulders. Capt. Cameron —“Canimy” is one of the best centers that ever graced a Danville line-up. He plays exceptionally well on the defensive, and seems to have a mania for recovering fumbles. Brown—“Browny.” captain-elect for the 1912 team, is a fast man at tackle, and puts up an aggressive game all the time. Most of the punting this season fell to his lot, and he got away with it the majority of the time. Herbst -“Eddie” is one of the best and fastest halfbacks that ever played on a D. H. S. team. His peculiar knack of dodging tacklers and in making interference is almost marvelous. Hahne—“Hahnie” plavs a star game at full-back all the time, and he never fails to make a good gain whenever the ball is entrusted to him. Mathis—John is a fast man at half-back and plays the game for all that is in it. He is fine at making long gains around the ends, and his interference makes a great many pla s successful. Elliott—“Poke” is one of the best, if not the best, quarter-backs that Danville ever had. His head-work at all times saved a great deal from the stain of defeat, and he surely earned his title as “key to the team.” Dague— “Sister” is a stone-wall at guard, and whenever an opposing player runs into him he finds out that something in the shape of two hundred and ten pounds is in the way. Rearick— “Mose” plays a plucky game at guard, and at opening up holes for the back field he has no superior. Hijmrichouse—“Hum” can’t be beat at tackle. He becomes mixed up in nearly every play, and his one hundred and eighty pounds do him a great service. Johnson—“Billy” and his smile can always be seen coming up from the bottom of the pile. He is a speedy man at end and is always good at the tackling game. Goff—Goff’s particular hobby is that of receiving forward passes. He is also fast when it comes to running down under punts. Taylor—Taylor is a good man at both tackle and end. He always plays a good, fast game whenever he is put in. CUSHMAN -“Cush’' makes a good full-back and a substitute quarter because he plays a fast and consistent game. Bloomfield- “Bloomie” is a fast man at end and he makes good when it comes to receiving passes and tackling. 57 58 f O.JHE.©. (M3SDIL3EY I V n O H g J THE SECOND TEAM TO the second team of Danville High School, led by P. Arthur McCusker. the High School owes its championship team, for it was the fight that the seconds put up against them in practice that turned out our state champions. The second team started out by having Rossville cancel the game on the eve of their departure for that thriving little village. The next journey was to Sidell. where alas and alack ! They ran into a town team whose names had been put on to the certified list after their principal had signed it. Here on a rainy, cold day they held a team that weighed 20 pounds more to a man. to a score of 17 to 2. Next the mighty seconds fell a victim to Covington, and were beaten by a score of 17 to 0. The next game was on the home grounds, where Homer High was the first victim, ending in a decided victory for the locals, the score being 55 to 0. On Thanksgiving Day they journeyed in to the wilds of Tolono. and again added another scalp to the list, the score being 16 to 5. And they were amply repaid, for you can imagine how a husky bunch of pig-skin artists can eat turkey, which they fed us on that day. Inasmuch as the first team took some of the second's huskies that started last season, they were composed of a bunch that knew nothing but fight from start to finish. Many a night these young seconds made the first squad play their best. And in finishing I will say that the school has nothing but praise for the seconds, who worked so consistently to make the first team what it was, for it was their practice against the firsts that put them in their final Following is the line-up: Capt.

S. made a splendid showing, considering the scarcity of material then available. In the County Meet our boys took second place, being beaten by Georgetown by the small margin of two points. All appearances, however, seem to indicate that Danville will be able to walk away with the County Meet of 1912, which is to be held at Ellsworth Park. Last year’s point winners were Alkire, Mick. Van Frank and Mathis. In the Eastern Illinois Meet held at Charleston, Danville was able to carry off five points, Mathis taking first in the quarter-mile dash. On the following Saturday Danville was again heard from, when Mathis took second place in the quarter at the State Inter-Scholistic Meet at the University of Illinois. After these meets track work was broken off and Raymond Mick was elected captain of the 1912 team, at a meeting called for that purpose. The team of 1912 should make a good showing if the athletes in the school will report for work. In a school of Danville’s size where there are so many athletes, where the foot ball team cleans up the entire state, and where the school spirit is good, it is surprising that there is not more done in the line of track work. There was a time when track was the chief athletic feature, and there is no reason why that time should not return, not when track would be the only feature, but when it should have its proper place along with foot ball. Danville should not be a one-sided school, but a school that is as broad as it is long, and one that takes in all the activities of High School life. With this in view let us all unite and make track go in the years to come, as we used to in the years passed. v 62 ■ BASE BALL IN D. H. S. BASE BALL is one of the many athletic divisions supported by the D. H. S. Under the many difficulties which the teams has been compelled to labor, we may say that it has succeeded admirably. Especially is this true in the class games, because much enthusiasm has been shown by both the player and students. The three classes, consisting of the Juniors, Freshman and Seniors strived to over-power the Sophomores, but because of some mysterious reason they were only able to defeat them once out of the seven games. After having defeated the J. F. S. team, the Sophomores played the combination of the Faculty—Juniors, Freshmen and Seniors, because the Faculty had only three men, Mr. Henry, Mr. Langdon and Mr. Ellison (that is. ball players). The games for the season were as follows: During the first game Goff pitched for the Sophomores and “Indian” Brown for the Juniors. Freshmen and Seniors. Both pitched good ball, but as luck would have it the Sophomores won by the score of 5 to 3. The second game was very exciting. Blankenburg was somewhat inferior to Brown, who only allowed three hits. The score—Sophomores 4. J. F. S. 5. In the third game the Sophomores had a walk-away, defeating the J. F. S. teams by the score of 13 to 6. In the fourth game Captain Taylor brought forth McClure, who met the same fate as his predecessor, being defeated by the score of 10 to 6. In the fifth game Brown came back with much vigor. During the first stage of the game it looked as if he was going to be victorious, but in the last three innings the Sophomores hit hard and won the game by the score of 9 to 5„ On Monday. May 21st. the Sophomores came, saw little, and conquered the thoughtful Faculty by the score of 10 to 2. The flying catch of Mr. Langdon. the perfect throwing of Mr. Henry, and the hitting of Mr. Ellison featured the game. Had Mr. Ellison taken off his collar he might of made several sensational catches, but as it was too many slipped from his grasp. The men playing in the class games were as follows: Sophomores—Gass. Blankenburg. Hudson, Hahne. Johnson, Haskell, Alberts. Funk. Carr. I. Brown, and Goff. For the Juniors. Freshmen and Seniors —Keesler, Brown. Taylor. Cushman. L. Hahne. Hickson. Church. W. Blankenburg. McClure. Burns and Westmen. 63 ILLINOIS CARROL JOHNSON LOREN TAYLOR HARRY CAMERON WALTER REARICK BYRON DAGUE HORACE CUSHMAN ELGIN HUMRICHOUSE JOHN MATHIS CLARENCE BLOOMFIELD PAGE ELLIOTT B I 0 N BROWN FLOYD GOFF HAZLETT HAHNE EDWIN HERBST FOOT BALL, 1911 64 fl g I s i_r n 65 GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Mildred Bullock, Sec.-Treas.

I MISD3LIICY ] v a o 31 J GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THE opportunities offered to the girls through the Girls’ Athletic Association this year have been the best since its organization in 1903. A second election was held to elect a Vice-President, to fill the vacancy made by Rose Klein, who left in January to attend Milwaukee Downer Seminary. Teresita Dill ion was chosen to fill the vacancy. With the aid of the Board of Education the girls were fortunate in securing Miss Rockwood, physical director for the Y. W. C. A., as instructor. Miss Rockwood proved to be a competent coach, and gave the girls some good, hard “workouts.” Through the “Medley” the members wish to express their thanks and appreciation to the Board of Education and Miss McFarland for their assistance. The Treasurer has been very lucky as there has been very little expense, the year closing successfully as far as the financial end is concerned. 67 D.3HLS M3ED3LISY a g a a GIRLS’ BASKET BALL THE 1911-12 season opened with Elizabeth Force as manager, and Miss McFarland as Faculty director. The Board of Education secured the services of Miss Roekvvood as coach, who agreed to handle sixty girls for six weeks of gymnasium work. After this time had elapsed the teams were chosen and the training of these girls was continued while the others dropped out. The girls were put through a gymnasium course, which was of great advantage to them in their basket ball work. A series of five games were played between the class teams. Four of these games were played after school hours at the Y. W. C A. gymnasium, and the girls were given a chance to show their loyalty to their class. The last game was played March 15th. and the girls were given invitations to distributed among their friends. The games were very close, and with the experienced yell-masters, the class spirit was very intense. The Senior-Sophomore game ended with a score of 8 to 7 in favor of the “Sophs.” and the Junior-Freshmen 5 to 3. in favor of the Juniors. To decide the championship, a short half of ten minutes was played between the Juniors and Sophomores, the Juniors winning by the close score of 4 to 3. Great enthusiasm was worked up among the girls and the loyal support of the Faculty has proven that the class spirit prevails everywhere. Altogether, the year has been a very successful one, and it is hoped that the Board of Education will continue each year to offer the girls such opportunities as it has this year.

MEDLEY NINE 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. To record accurately and completely the activities of the school year has been our aim. If in this we have succeeded, even in the slightest degree, we shall feel amply rewarded for our task. The first Danville High School Medley ever published by a Senior class was a paper back book with some few pictures of the Seniors and various athletes. Each succeeding class tried to improve on its annual book until now. the Danville High School has the reputation of publishing one of the best books in the State of Illinois. We are naturally proud of this reputation, and have striven to keep it up. and leave to our successors the priviledge of proving their true worth and the merits of their individual members through the pages of this annual book. As civilization and invention and the various things of the universe have advanced, so have we in the editions of our Medley. In the first place, the literary societies are rapidly progressing. This year their annual contest was one of the best ever held. The students are beginning to feel a greater responsibility for the advancement of the society which they represent. There is more doing in a social way, so that our society section can be more completely edited. Athletics are becoming stronger each year. By the organization of various societies, both musical and literary, it has become necessary to add more pages to the Medley. With the close of this our Senior year, we present to the Alumni, the Faculty, and the student body, this, the ninth annual Medley. 72 ■ S 0.3HE.®. (mieidiliey J V 1L g 31 g THE MAROON AND WHITE AS the world rolls along we find that a great deal of modern ability is absorbed in journalism. Thus, the people. fraternities, and individualism, lends its light to the world. Truly, it is a wonderful system that places the daily news of our Chinese friends in our hands each morning. Such a system helps the President in guiding the destiny of our mighty nation, and at the same time tells the farmer when to plant his corn. As a farther proof of the greatness of this business, we find it established in our own mighty institution-the Maroon and White. This publication first came out in 1907-1903. and soon absorbed all the superfluous literary of the school. In a short time the results seemed wonderful. and have since proved incommensurable. In fact the other schools on the exchange list find it very hard to keep up to the high standard of excellence set by Danville. This astonishing growth from a few pages at first to a monthly paper of manv ? � departments, wherein the record of honorable achievements, daily school life, and hard fought battles that upheld school honors and records, is not due to the work of one single staff, but to the combined efforts of five separate staffs, with the loyal support of the whole school: and in fact the whole city, for the business men have given much assistsnce also. Rut the real appreciation becomes apparent at distributing time. Each month of the school year, except September and February, the subscribers rush to get their paper, and eagerly read the school news. Then, also, we see the good of the “Maroon and White.” The literature is of the best, the news the most important, and all the work is instructing as well as interesting to both contributor and reader. This year in our High School has been one of those fruitful seasons in which every branch of the work reached ud into the heights and travelled the glorious oaths of con-sumated knowledge. Thus it has been that the paper not only continued the progress started by former issues, but exceeded all bounds, and proved its progressiveness by material changes which helped to perfect the whole school. In this work of building up the paper the 1911-1912 staff have been unequalled. Under the management of Editor-in-Chief Oswell Morin, and Business Manager George Payne, the paper has become in every sense of the word a reptesentative of the school, for the work is truly up to the High School motto: ‘‘Of the Students. By the Students, and for the Students.” They were ably seconded by the editors, whose ability to push the “editing pen” through any amount of matrial is well merited in many other attainments. Thus, in the history or the paper for this year we have also a history of the school reflected by its component parts in the perfect diction. For the future we have assurance of success, in the knowledge that they have already set their feet upon the path of predecessors, which will carry the honors of our “Maroon and White” to a nearer perfection than it has already attained. 74 o.3hls IMIISDIL3EY 10112 1913 MEDLEY 0Nr Tuesday evening-, May 21st, 1912, the Junior Class met to elect the Medley Staff of 1913.

Although we lost in the annual contest with the Athenaeums last year, the record of contents shows that the victories of the Adarians are one greater than that of the Athenaeums. Great preparations are being made for the program this year, and it is hoped that the Adarian will be victorious. On May 31st, 1911, Alice Chesley was elected president for this year. She has shown herself to be a very competent leader, and has worked hard to make the year the best ever.” which everyone will agree is right. Adelaide Sanford was elected vice-president, and Mae Morris, secretary and treasurer. Helen Mills and the following committee. Donald Johns. Josephine Blose. Helen Ellsworth, Carroll Johnson, ard Mildred Mater, have shown their worth in the choosing of the different parts of our various programs which have shown an unusual amount of originality and talent. The first program occurred September 20th. which consisted of several musical numbers, short stories and reading. An unusual treat, which was substituted for the debate, was The Plantation Melodies.” in two scenes. These were given by Alice Chesley. Jane Palmer. Marion McConnell, Donald Swaim and Francis Webber. The second was given October 20th. which included a very interesting debate between Abe Levin and Hay Wyland, on the subject of “Co-Education.” The enthusiasm which was brought out showed some hard thinking on both sides. Kay showed that he knew something about feminine views and gave some pretty sharp hints. The newspaper and extemperaneous speeches were inttoduced and proven quite a success. An unusual feature of this meeting held November 22d was the Glee Club. Also a tableau was given in four scenes, representing John Alden and Priscilla.” “Puritans going to Church,” Puritan Exiles.” and John Smith.” The solo given by Rosa Dee Chandler, and the short story by Mae Morris, were very much appreciated by all. On May 3d. the Adarians will give a play, entitled “Which is Who?” This farce was written by our most proficient instructor. Mr. E. H. Langdon. especially for our society.

Every loyal heart beats faster when that name is spoken. We are proud of it, and well we should be. when so many honors have been won by the Athenaeums. Who won the Girard prize essay and orations? Athenaeum, of course! Who made the famous debating teams? Athenaeums! Two-thirds of our Wrangler’s Club are Athenaeums. 1 hroughout the year we have tried to make our society stand for what the literal meaning of the word is “a literary or scientific association,” We have aimed to make it reach all lines of educational work. The society abounds in good material, all of which has been put to use. The members of a society can make it what they wish it to be. and their attitude toward its future outcome has much to do with its success. We have not, nor do not judge our society by the number of members on our roll, but by the output of the members. The one who hangs back and will not attempt to do what is asked of him is, in reality not a member. To be a member you must be active, at least try. though you fail in the attempt. We are glad that we are able to say that our society consists of active members. All have tried to make the Athenaeums lead. Even those who entered this fall have shown the ardent zeal that is needed for a real literary association. We are especially indebted to the teachers for their help in assisting us in the various try-outs, and take this as a means of thanking them. If you wish to live and grow. Be an Athenaenm. If you wish to learn each day Something nobler, then I pray Be an Athenaeum. ATHENAEUM HONORS December 15, 1911 Champaign Debating Team-Joe Patterson, Northcott Thomas, James Hemphill.

Both the Adarians and Athenaeums started their year’s work most enthusiastically by giving extra good programs, and obtaining many new members. The second semester was begun by the adoption of the system of having “tryouts” for the various events, thus giving every member a chance to show his ability, and putting him on an equality with the rest. Every Friday evening would witness a “try-out” in the assembly room, where one of the two societies would choose their representatives. With every preliminary the enthusiasm would grow stronger, and the feeling between the two opposing factions more intense, until it seems as if force only could bring about a settlement. Several new members were included in the contest this year, and the result was that the program was so long that two evenings were required in which to dispose of them. The first section of the contest was delivered on April 19th. at the High School assembly, which was. in general, the same as the preceeding contests. At the end of this contest, the societies were tied on points, thus allowing the decision to depend upon the latter section, which was held in the Washington auditorium. May 1st. The contest was said to have been the closest Danville High ever had. Both sides deserve congratulations on their fine work, not only in the contest, but during the whole year.

(medley) v tg)iis 7 THE WRANGLERS CLUB THE WRANGLERS CLUB of the Danville High School was organized in the Fall of 1910. by Mr. Marsh, former instructor in English. It took its name from that Celebrated Wranglers Club of North Western University. and from the medely of sounds heard issuing from Room 12 on Wednesday evening, the name is certainly appropriate. The election of officers occurs twice a year. At the first regular meeting in September 1911. the following officers were chosen. President. Joe Patterson; Vice-President. James Hemphill; Secretary and Treasurer, Charles Howard; Chairman of Program Committee. Edward Parsons. The officers for this last semester were elected in February and are. President, Edward Parsons; Vice-President. 0. Morin: Sec. Treas., George Payne: Chair, of Program Committee. Ralph Schecter: Sargent at Arms, Carl Citizen. Mr. Ellison, the Instructor in English, has been the Club’s Critic and Coach for the past year, and under his guidance and instruction, the Club has made a name for itself as being true Wranglers. The Wranglers Club may be praised for the work they have done and lines of work taken up. They average school boy debating questions have been carefully avoided and questions that are interesting as well as instructive have been taken up; such questions as concern the ration, new and old, political, social and religous plans have been thoroughly debated upon. Following the plans made the previous year, the Club tried to organize a county debating league but because of lack of interest and differences of opinion among the other schools, the plan was abandoned. Negotiations were taken up with other towns, however. and finally two debates were scheduled. The fust one was to be held with Champaign High at Champaign, on the night of Friday December 15th. And tne second with (irand Prarie Seminery at Danville on Friday March 22. 1912. At the end of each school year, the Wranglers give their Annual Banquet, to which, the gentlemen of the faculty are invited. The one last year was a great success and everybody had a fine time. Plans are now formed and committees are working on the banquet for this year, which it is promised will excel the other of last year, in splendor, music, toasts, eats and all. 85 (3MI3EPIL3EY } V lieng y CHAMPAIGN DEBATING TEAM DUE to the untiring efforts of Mr. Ellison and the Wranglers Club, the first Interscholastic debate for this year was scheduled shortly after school began, to be held at Champaign with that High School on December 15th, 1911. The subject chosen was “Rosolved, That the Recall should be adopted for all State and Federal elective offices,'’ Danville taking the negative. Immediately a preliminary was held in which eight fellows tried for the team. All the candidates showed up well, thus making it difficult to choose the best three and an alternate, which fact proved that Danville High possessed much good debating material. After much deliberation on the part of the judges. Ray Wyland was chosen as captain, with Northcott Thomas and James Hemphill as the other two members, and Joe Patterson as alternate. For several weeks, with usual D. H. S. loyalty, this team toiled, using every opportunity for an advantage towards winning this debate. Fortunately the fellows were expecting a hard fight, and were well prepared for such. But their opponents, two girls and a boy, were outclassed from the beginning, being defeated by both the oratory and argument of our men. No doubt the one decision which they obtained out of the three was given them for manners sake only. Although they returned home without a desired three to nothing decision, Danville's crack debaters felt that they had been well repaid for their efforts. This victory increased the interest in debating, and filled us with determination to defeat Onarga. with which a debate was scheduled shortly afterwards. 86 ONARGA DEBATING TEAM GRAND Prarie Seminary came—they saw—, but here we must stop, for they came to D. H. S.. and they knew that they had been somewhere. The debate was: “Resolved, That the best interests of all the People of the State of Illinois demand the use of the Initiative and Referendum in all matters of State wide importance.” Onarga debated the affirmative, while Danville took the negative. The result was that the “three J's” convinced every one, even the judges, that the Initiative and Referendum form of Government was a pernicious and obnoxious instrument that would ruin the State of Illinois. Joe. James and John went some, and the boys from Onarga found the pace too fast. Danville got a 3 to 0 decision. The debate was very interesting, being enlivened by some very witty jokes on both sides. The Grand Prairie Seminary debaters were very good, but of course, Danville is a school that “can’t be beat.” After the debate an excellent banquet was given by the members of the Wranglers Club in honor of the two debating teams. Reverend Adams was the toastmaster of the occasion. Toasts were given by the captains of the two teams, Hon. Judge Allen, Mr. Lawyer, and the coaches of the teams. 87 ( MUDILEY ) V n 6 a g J ORATORY IN DANVILLE HIGH WITH the reorganization of the Wranglers Club last Fall, interest increased greatly concerning public speaking in general. The desire on the part of several fellows to participate in the various orotorical contests this year was soon executed when the subject of the annual fifteen dollar prize oration was announced, which was “Stephen Girard.” Both the interest and material in the school was shown in this contest which was concluded Feb. 23, for a larger number than usual wrote, and several were of exceptional quality, while the winner. Northcott R. Thomas, T2, was to represent the school later on in both the County and State contests. Edgar Roos won second, and being a Junior, will endeavor to defend the D. H. S. laurels next year In the annual Athenaeum-Adarian contest, extraordinary ability was shown by both the orators, the two declaimers and also the readers. As the most of these contestants are of the class of 1913. it appears that next year will witness many hot oratorical and declaimatory contests in D. H. S. Meanwhile two orators sent to the County Oratorical Association to be graded on thought and composition, “The True Patriotism of Lee” by Northcott R. Thomas, and “Stephen Girard” by Edgar Roos, were both given a place among the best six to be delivered on May 4, at the County Contest. Although Roos succeeded in securing only fourth place, Thomas saved the school from complete defeat by obtaining second place, loosing out on composition and thought, for his oration was not in its best shape when submitted. Margaret Funk representing D. II. S. in the Declaimation did splendidly, but received second honors. Shortly before this contest another step was made towards a high standing in oratory. Thomas’ oration which he delivered in the County Contest, being accepted by the State Association as one of the best eight in District Three, Eastern Illinois, won second in that preliminary, which was held at Tuscola. April 26. thus admitting the author to the State Contest. May 17. Thus after being defeated twice by the same man. who was also to be in the final contest, with great improvement, good student support and a determination to score a point for Danville High. Danville’s star orator entered the Illinois State Contest and secured third place, having defeated a rival who had defeated him twice. Our success in oratory this year ought to be an in-incentive to the D. H. S. students next year and we hope that work along that line will not be neglected in the future. With the quality of material we possess, the students next year should nearly equal if not excel the record set by their predecessors. 88 f 0.1ML.m. (M3SDILEY ) V il e n g J D. H. S. ORCHESTRA IN the past years Danville High School has always been represented by a good orchestra, and this year has proved to he no exception. Through the efforts of Mrs. Meeks the orchestra was organized early in January, and rehersals were commenced at once. Room Ten was appropriated and in a remarkably short time they had a repertoire including a few of the classics and some of the latest popular numbers. Their music has been an enjoyable feature of the literary programs and other entertainments in the past semester, and too much credit cannot be given the members for their earnest and untiring efforts to make the orchestra a success. Judging from the number of invitations received to play at different occasions, their work has not been entirely unappreciated. The following is a representative program given at the District and County Oratorical Contest: Marche Romoine............................................Gounod Hungarian Dance No. 2.....................................Brahms Selection —“The Little Millionaire”........................Cohan Waltzes From the Pink Lady...... ................CaryII Melody in F...........................................Rubenssein March Oh, You Circus Day”...................................... First Violins—Beryl Love. Ff.rn Rouse, Ralph Schecter (Director) Second Violins—Abbie Bralchbr, Maria Mitchell, Lilla Payne Cornets Raymond Davis.

The Chorus is to be congratulated on the very artistic way. (and no small credit is due Mrs. White for her faithful work and patience) they rendered the winning selection, “My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair” a charning little lyric of Hayden’s. Not only has the semi-chorus won the pennant for the third year, but it has furnished music for every school entertainment since the Senior Play, also singing at a number of places outside. Among their numerous engagements were first, at the Debate held at the High School. March 16th, then at the first half of the Adarian-Athen-aeum Contest held on the evening of April 26th, also at May Pole Party of the Young Women’s Christian Associ- ation on May 23d. and lastly serving as Choir on Baccalaureate Sunday, June 2d. also at Commencement on evening of June 5th. then on Charity Day Progran in the afternoon of June 11th. besides thes girls are planning to give a Concert in June. On the other hand the girls have enjoyed many other good times together. Mrs. White delightfully entertained them at a reception on Saturday afternoon. April 27th. Then on May 11th at a lovely outing at the home of one of the members in Bismarck, Leila Brown. Also one afternoon at home of Josephine Blose, May 8th. In conclusion the girls are planning, as a delightful end to their work, a camping party at Lake Front. Alvin, with Mrs. White as Chaperone. The members of the semi-chorus are: First Soprano.

(3MIISPL.3EY ) V leTey 94 DRAMATIC THE Washington Auditorium was filled to overflowing on the evening of January 12. 1912, when the Senior class presented “The Merchant of Venice, up to Date.” Although the gifted actors and actresses of the High School have not had much opportunity to show their talent this year, they certainly did themselves credit when they gave the Medley play. The program was opened by a selection from the High School Orchestra. The play consisted of five acts. The first represented a street in Venice, the second, a room in Portia’s house, the third and fourth, Shylock’s house and yard, and the fifth, which was divided into two parts, (1) The Foot Ball field. 2) The Court room. The curtain raised with three men on the stage: Antonio, Bassanio, Gratiano. Loren Taylor played his part well as Antonio. His wonderful growth of hair causing the audience much amusement. Bassanio, Gratiano and Tubal certainly did their parts justice. Shylock was the hit of the evening, with his stern requirements and demands of Antonio. Portia’s composure and ease delighted the audience, as did the friendly consideration of Nerissa. The other characters also helped to make the class of 1912 famous for its dramatic ability. Miss Talbott's earnest work as well as the clever acting made this play a decided success. The cast was as follows: The Duke of Venice..................................Byron Dague Antonio (a Senior), captain of foot ball team.......LoKEN TAYLOR Bassanio, his friend, and suitor to Portia..........Frank Giddings Gratiano. another friend........................Northcott Thomas Shylock, a wealthy gambler..............................Owen Burns Tubal, his friend and Capt. of Urbana Team......Horace Cushman Launcelot Gabbo, servant to Shylock...............Joe Patterson The Professor.

Launcelot’s mother..................Willa Freeland Foot Ball Players............................... High School Boys 95 SENIOR-JUNIOR. 1911 r D.K.®. (medley j V ng)ns 7 JUNIOR-SENIOR. 1911 IN MAY, 1911, we. as Juniors, entertained at the Woman’s Club, our most worthy brother and sister Seniors. We were indeed glad of an opportunity to show them our gratitude and thanks for the lovely party which they gave us December 2d, 1910. Vines and ferns from the woods were artistically used in carrying out the color scheme of green and white. The chandeliers were gracefully festooned with vines and the lights covered with white shades. The platform was hidden by a bank of palms and ferns. This party was a masquerade, and the early part of the evening was spent in enjoying the clever costumes of those present. One of the diversions of the evening was a contest. The man making the most pleasing proposal received a heart from the girl to whom he proposed, but if she did not like the proposal she gave him the “mitten.” The lucky one receiving the most hearts got a prize of a box of candy hearts. Mr. Langdon proved to be the most popular suitor of the evening and carried off all the honors. A drum and piano furnished the music for the dance which followed. The grand march was led by Frank King, president of the Senior Class, and Josephine Blose, vice-president of the Junior Class, dressed in Colonial costumes. Although there is considerable difference in the height of the two persons, tne Colonial lady being able to take about three steps to the Colonial Lord’s one. they managed to lead the Juniors and Seniors around the hall successfully. During the intermission refreshments were served. At midnight, after bidding farewell to every one. we departed for home, thus completing the big affair of our Junior year. IN DECEMBER. 1911, the last and best social function of the Senior Class was given at the Elk’s Hall. The decorations were garlands of black and gold crepe paper hung from the different corners of the room extending to eaeh one of the five domes, the latter being covered with the crepe paper and encircled with a deep fringe. While various guests were arriving, old fashioned games were played until the entertainment began. The program consisted of representations of the following famous works of art: “Hope,” Nellie Blackford: “Queen Louise,” Evelyn Johns; “Bashful Suitors,” Earl Brown and Ella George; “Innocence,” Teresita Dillion; “The End of Day.” Harold Jackson; “The Gleaners,” Mary Brauner, Julia Hitchens and Selma Nungesser; “The Angelus,”Charles Howard and Elsie Saunders: “Disciple,” Maude Huston: “Baby Stuart,” Francis Koch: “Plot of Basil,” Evelyn Johns; ‘The Artist’s Mother,” Dorothy Brown: “The Infant Samuel,” Teresita Dillon. Next the picture of the foot ball squad, with Mr. Lawyer as a climax, were thrown on the canvas. The Grand March, led by Martha Love and Northcott Thomas followed, during which each one was provided with a soldier’s hat and flag. They marched to the middle of the room singing “The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground,” where they were showered with a profusion of little flags. Then the dance programs were distributed and the dance began, music being furnished by a local orchestra. Those that did not dance retired to the other room where a general good time was had by means of various diversions. During the evening refreshments were served by a corps of colored waiters. Thus ended only too soon the pleasures of the evening. 97 HmHuir (KSDILEY I V a e a a V OTHER CLASS PARTIES SOPHOMORE SOCIETY The first Sophomore party occured on Friday, October 27th. It was given in progressive fashion at the homes of Lavinia Fera. Marjory Rouse, Sarah Moore and .lack Palmer. Much fun was afforded by the fortune-teller, the contests, and the “Queen of the East.” At Palmer’s those who wished danced. Mr. Ross Kinningham very generously loaned a Phonograph. On Friday night, March 1st, the members of the Sophomore Class were entertained at the home of Josephine Leslie. During the evening games and music were enjoyed-Marjory Rouse received the prize for making the best ani' mal out of a stick of chewing gum. JUNIOR SOCIETY The Junior Class met for their first party at the home of Mildred Johnson. March 21st. An unusually good crowd attended, some few Seniors helping to swell the number. Games and music were the diversion of the evening, and a good time was had by all. On Friday evening, November 10th. at the home of Ruth Myers in Rose Lawn, the Juniors were entertained. Miss Myers’ home is very pretty and was artistically decorated for the occassion. A general good time was had by each one present. SENIOR SOCIETY HALLOW’EEN. 1911 The Seniors are using as their motto: “Work goes hand in hand with play.” so consequently they had a lovely party at Hallow’een. The scene of this enjoyment was a a vacant house in Catlin. To carry out the occassion, the house was artistically decorated in pumpkins, corn husks and leaves. A large fire burned in the fire place, around which the guests assembled telling ghost stories. A cloth was spread on the floor, where all kinds of good “eats” were to be had. Every one acknowledged this to be one of the most successful affairs given by the class. HAY-RACK PARTY During the Fall the Seniors had the best time imaginable at a hay rack party. “Jim” Hemphill met the crowd with a hay rack when they were taken to Elsie Saunders’ home in the country. Out in the open they made a huge bon fire, over which they cooked potatoes, wiener wursts, marshmallows and apples. This is the last affair of the Senior Class for this season. 98 GIRLS’ CLUB Hose Klein OFFICERS Helen Mills Adelaide Sanford Mary Brauner. Mildred Mater Registrar t 100 DJHC. MEDLEY a a a 0 GIRLS’ CLUB “And now 1 see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine— A being, breathing thoughtful breath; A traveler, between life and death. The reason tirm, the temperate will. Endurance, foresight, strength and skill— A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warm, to comfort and command; And yet a spirit still and bright. With something of angelic light.” Our Girls’ Club stands for all the noble attributes of womanhood which Wordsworth mentions in the above verse. No loyal Girls’ Club member can say that she has not been benefitted by the hour spent every Thursday in our meeting, and many are the girls who have gone forth from this organization and established like clubs for the benfit of other girls. The Girls Club, with Mrs. Meeks at its head, and with her example and inspiring talks has continued as a helpful organization through the nine years of its existence. Our annual Christmas tree for poor children was more successful this year than ever under the competent leadership of Rose Klein, with her assistant, Adelaide Sanford, •new and better plans were made for the program. It is the sincere wish of the members of the class of 1912 that the succeeding classes may take up the work where we leave it and make it more successful than it has yet been. 101 o.E=a.g M32DJLI! k 1191 Ter Tcntidjc ®un (S turn- im Oftober, lull, al einijje oon ben Stubenten, twldje bie beut d)e Spradje liebten, id) sn annuen fanben, um einen beufdjen $itnb , n it if ten.
