There are books on everything, some large, some small, some good, some bad: some scholarly and some lacking the least trait of intellect- uality and devoid of interest. Yet the work of book-making goes untiringly on. We might liken humanity to the ocean and literature to the ships, which sail upon it. As each ship, which sets sail on the ocean has a name, so each book on the ocean of literature has a name. This one we call The Medley. And as all ships have a message, this gallant craft has one, and nobly does she set forth to proclaim it. She carries a large cargo of good cheer, consisting of bundles of laughter, groups of pictures and huge encyclopedias of infor- mation-all sent from the port of Danville High School. We, the officers and crew of the Medley, are justly proud of our re- spective positions. We feel that much has been intrusted to us: much de- pends upon the timbers of our vessel, and the quality of it's cargo: but trusting in the great Providence, we set it forth. Your consignment is on board: your interest is there: receive it with smiles: give your praise if you have any: if not, please do not complain for we have done our best, For the prosperity of our school and the best interests and welfare of our readers we launch our book and wave farewell.

Many records are lost, and those remaining, for the most part, were found discarded in the basement. In 1870, the determination of one man made it possible to start here a high school, which has held its own, and made a history worth recording. Mr. Spellman saw the need of higher education, so he arranged to conduct a school on the second floor of the building now occupied by the Yeomans and Shedd Hardware Store. The people had no slmice in forming this department of education, as Mr. Spellman was entirely independent. It was after sev- eral classes had been graduated, that this school had anything to do with the high school. There was one teacher and an assistant to instruct the twenty-one en- rolled pupils. Their course of study is surprising, as they had such subjects as, Mental Philosophy, Science of Wealth, Greek, Analysis and Astronomy. The school year was divided into three terms. The first one ended about December, and the second one in March, with a week's vacation between terms. In 1872, three girls were graduated, their two year course being ac- counted for, by the fact that they had a good preparation in the grades. Six of the class of twenty-one were graduated the next year, and seven completed the course in the customary four years. For two years, the school was maintained on Main Street, but on the com- pletion of the old Washington building, the high school department occupied some rooms on the north side of the third floor. Upon the death of her husband, Mrs. Spellman took his place, and helped to build up interest, enthusiasm and a name for D. H. S. Miss Cornelia Branch was principal from 1874-1876. In four years, such advancement had been made, that there were 152 members enrolled, and four teachers employed. It was in 1875 that the Alumni Association was formed. This played an important part in high school affairs, until it quietly disappeared about three years ago. In the same year, the courses of study were changed to General and Classical. Miss Annie Hoff had the principalship from 1876-1878, during which time the course of study was changed for convenience sake into Q11 Practical Science, two years with four studies each term, C23 Latin and Natural Science, three years with four and five studies each term, f3l Classical, four years with three studies each term. During the principalship of M. A. Lapham, 1878-1879, and for some years thereafter, unaccountably, the attendance waned, falling from 152 to 80. In the eighties, Silas Y. Gillan, now a noted educator and editor of a school paper in Milwaukee, inaugurated the morning exercises which, strange to say, were spelling lessons. Throughout his entire high school career, a student was required to take spelling until efficient, no one being allowed to graduate who could not spell correctly. 10 THE MEDLEY Mr. McLauth, who is Professor of Modern Languages in the University of the City of New York, took charge of the school in 1887. A few years prior, the enrollment had been very slowly rising, at this time being 117. The names of the courses were changed to Latin and English, and two terms were introduced. We owe to Mr. McLauth, the planning for the present high school building. The school had spread to the south half of the Wash- ington building on the third floor, and then, till it took three-fourths of the whole floor, so a separate place had to be secured. The present building was completed in 1888, but in 1899, it was too small, so the south half was built on. The class of '88 was not fortunate enough to enjoy the new building. At last their assembly room became so crowded, that this class was going to be forced out. Now they were very industrious, and they begged for any study room available. A small store room was cleaned up and they had a study room, but no teacher. They maintained order and were self-regulating. They arranged a list of offences, for which each one who committed any of them, had to pay a fine to John H. Lewman, our ex-mayor and present pro- secuting attorney, who was so perfect in behaviour that he was made the class treasurer. Enough money was collected to help pay for the class picture. Mr. Stratton B. Brooks, now President of the Oklahoma University, suc- ceeded Mr. McLauth. Music was first introducedin 1897, with singing three mornings each week. An orchestra of sixteen pieces was also organized. Mr. Billinghurst in 1898 was the head of affairs. Under him were seven teachers to instruct the 273 pupils. At this time the three terms were used again. One custom of these years was even more strenuous than spelling of days before, for no person could graduate whose average deportment of all the time he was in high school was below 75. Mr. B. A. Sweet, now Representative in the Colorado legislature, suc- ceeded Mr Billinghurst, and remained until 1902. In 1900, the annual min- strels were started. These lasted until about five years ago. Mr E. D. Martin served the high school for four years, in the capacity of principal. In 1902, the enrollment had reached 340, and nine teachers were employed. Only one course was offered, and the three terms were used, 44 credits being required for graduation. The following year, they re-instated the semesters which we use now, and in 1905 only 29 credits were required. Our principal from 1906-1909, was Mr. Z. M. Smith, now assistant pro- fessor of Purdue. At this time the courses were changed to Latin and Ger- man. In 1908, the new Washington building was completed, so the Domes- tic Science Department was moved from the southeast room of the high school basement, to the same location in the Washington building. The room vacated was used for a few years as an English room, being called the Den by the appreciative students. In 1909, Mr. C. E. Lawyer, now the principal of the new Aurora high school, took charge of affairs, making many changes. Because the enroll- 11 - THE MEDLEY ment of students had steadily increased, it became necessary to use the anti- quated style of double seats in the assembly room. Our three present courses, College Preparatory, Commercial and Scientific were introduced. 1912 marked the advent of many new ideas and improvements. The graduating class, sixty-two in number, was the largest in the history of the school, and the first one to use the gray cap and gown and to leave a class memorial in the shape of a massive oak desk which replaced the one that had served so many generations in the assembly room. U The Pearson prize was inaugurated, it being offered to that student who represented best in the Senior class, the product of the modern high school. Northcott Thomas has the distinction of being the first one to have the honor. In the fall of 1912, Mr. A. W. Smalley came among us as principal from Ann Arbor. At the same time the number of the faculty Was increased to eighteen, six of whom now occupy rooms in the Washington building. The courses of study have been increased until we have at present a good busi- ness course in shorthand and typewriting. The high school in its entire forty-three years of existence has had many difficulties to overcome, but it has persevered and triumphed. It has risen into prominence in every field possible. In Literary and Musical fields, it has had a share. Throughout the earlier years, the high school kept things lively by contests which were held in the leading churches. For a number of years, besides County, Eastern Illionis and State con- tests, we have had special prizes for essays, one conducted by the D. A. R. on an historical subject, and the other by a friend of the high school on an assigned topic, altogether, doing much to raise the standard of writing and spelling. g J. K.

F SIZE counts for anything, our class of 1913 has been a winner from the time we entered until the present. Four years or more ago, a very large, and apparently undesired, class of freshmen entered the doors of Danville High School: for instead of receiving seats in the Assembly room we were distributed about the building in the diEerent class rooms. However, we did not allow this indignity to bother us, but set to work to show the school of what kind of stuff we were made. As sophomores we organized, choosing John Mathis as president, Helen Ellsworth as secretary and treasurer, and Mr. Henry as class advisor, and, following the precedent established by each fourth class preceding us, orange and black as our colors. We not only showed activity in social events but also in athletics, starring on the football, track and baseballfields as well as in scholarship. As Juniors we again chose John Mathis as our president. Feeling that we must make a record of which we would be proud when we were Seniors, we bent our energies to all departments of High School life. In the Girls' Semi-Chorus we were well represented and supported the championship team in Girls' Basketball. In Boys' Athletics we carried off many honors, among them being the quarter mile dash won by our President. The J unior-Senior Reception was our chief social event, and we can safely say it was the best ever given up to that time. A And now as Seniors our High School career is fast drawing to a close, and with Carl C. Citizen as our president and Mr. Henry ever at our right hand, we are striving to make this the best year of the four. In scholarship we are keeping up to our standard and for small amount of tardiness we can not be beaten. In declamation, oratory and music we have many of the stars and al- though we are sorry that they can not bring further glory to the school thru the years to come, we are exceedingly proud to number them in our class. Our efficiency was again shown when so many of us were chosen for the di- recting of the Maroon and White thru this, our last, year. And now the allotted time for our opportunities is over and we are pass- ing out these doors as students for the last time. The school which we have all learned to love so dearly and fight for so valiantly is about to be closed to us for ever, and we are starting anew, this time to solve life's problems as they are presented to us. However, the memories of the many good times had here can not be shut out from us and, Without one envious sigh, one anxious scheme We our sphere, this fleeting hour resign, Ours is the world of thought, the world of dreams, We turn from the past and on the future beam. 23 T H E M E D L E Y SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT CARL C.

In the spring of 1912 Mrs. Frances Pearson Meeks, in memory of her father, Gustavus Clark Pearson, a pioneer of Chicago, Danville and California, a staunch supporter of American institutions, and an enthusiastic patron of the public school, offered a prize to be known as the Pearson Prize, to that member of the Senior class of Danville High School who should be elected by the Senior class and by the High School faculty as being the most repre- sentative American, the choice to be based on scholarship, activities, influence or attitude and character. Northcott R. Thomas has the honor of being the first student to receive this prize. 40 THE MEDLEY s ON LIFE 'S WIRE Hello, Life? Yes. This is C. C. Who? C. C. Citizen. Pardon me, Mr. Citizen, but did I ever hear of you before? Oh, yes! I used to go to Danville High School. You did? Yes, and was President of the Class of 1913. I remember now. That is the class which stuck together so well. Yes, I think you know us all right. I believe I do. Some of you at least. Let me see, you are running a pawn-shop now, are you not? No, I am teaching Oratory in Villa Grove Academy. I beg your pardon. I guess I was thinking of Ivan Davis who has a number of pawn-shops scattered all over the country, New York, Pittsburg, Covington, and Westville. He makes lots of money. Glad to hear it. By the way, Life, I wonder if you could help me out a little? I am writing a history of the Noted Men and Women of the Day. Naturally it must include all of the class of 1913, and I thought probably you could give me some information regarding them. It will be a great pleasure, I am sure, Mr. Citizen, if I can be of any service to you, but I really don't think it is necessary to mention any other name but C. C. Citizen. D Oh, my dear Life, you flatter me. There were other great men in the class. Don't you remember W. C. Hixon? Wallace you mean? Yes, he graduated. I have the figures to prove that, but I can't find anything else. Oh, Life, you surely have something. No, his life is a perfect blank, as far as my records show. Maybe he did not amount to anything. That is pitiful. I was sure he' would set the world on fire. Try Lucille. She was chairman of the Social Committee you remember? Indeed I do remember. It would be hard to forget that. Yes, we have kept track of her. She has founded a new Religion. Religion ?' ' - Yes, but it was a fake, so don't bother about putting that down. We merely gave her credit for starting something. Give her all the credit you can. Now there was Russell Beggs. What do you know about him ? Quite a little. He started out in the newspaper business. Made good at that, but he got into politics and was State Senator for a time. Lillian 41 GK if ca ll K1 it -1 at THE MEDLEY Sandberg finally took the senatorship away from him. Then he went as a Missionary to Singapore. Haven't heard from him since. Well, he didn't do any harm. That is one good thing. But tell me about Moudy Sharp. What is he doing now? He is down in Southern California with Marian Kaneen selling patent medicines. They are working for Paul Swisher. Remember him don't you? Yes, what about him? He is manufacturing patent medicines. Has one medicine that made him famous. He sells it in half gallon bottles at five dollars a bottle, and it cures every thing from sore throat to appendicitisf' Fine, I knew he would do something great. I just ran across Bion Brown's name. He was one of your class. Yes, what has he done for the good of the Nation? At first there is a blank: then he wrote a book on The worth of a D. So much for 'Browney.' How about Paul Brown? Oh, he is still studying. He will do something yet tho'. Just give him plenty of time. Let us hear from some of the girls. Where is Teresita Dillon? She is acting for a moving picture company. Very popular in her work. Iunderstand Margaret Fox is in the same business but she acts in Shakes- pearean plays only. We haven't any noted actors in the class have we? Indeed, you have two of them. Ed Parsons and Joy Willison. Ed has been taking a leading part in one of Myrtle Foreman's new plays, while Joy has become famous in the vaudeville world. Dancing is her specialty. That certainly is news and did you say one of Myrtle Foreman's plays ? Surely. 'Myrt' writes wonderful plays. It is strange you haven't heard of them. While we are speaking of authors, I will mention' Selma Ogden's name. I heard a few days ago that she has written a new book on 'Why we Need Fraternities in High School! I am not surprised. Selma always was bright. Do you know anything about 'Mose' Rearick? Mose has been spending the last three years trying to get a patent on a little device which is beneficial to hill climbers. Mose is evidently still going down hill. No, Red is a kindergarten teacher in San Francisco, but he says he wants to make it easier for other fools. He always was considerate of other people, especially those in his class. Do you ever hear from Jesse Sutton ? Is that the Reverend? The what? There is a Jesse Sutton, evangelist, of great renown in the east. I'll see if that is the same one. I hardly think it possible. Yes, here it is. He practised law for a time, then he went into the 42 at if THE' MEDLEY ministry. Quite a surprise, eh? Well he is making good. Fern Rouse and Esther North are working with him. Fern furnishes the music. Those Rouses always were musical. Remember 'Mid' Johnson? Mid Johnson? That name sounds familiar. Was she in our class? Yes, she called me up the other day. She wanted me to back a new Bill she has put before the House? What was it? It was in regard to dancing. She is trying to get a Bill passed which abolishes dancing of any form in the schools all over the country. Do you think it will pass ? I would not be surprised. Emma Hitchens and Ruth Kneedler are push- iug it for her and they seem to have quite a little influence in Washington. So I have heard. Roy Taylor is down there too, isn't he? Yes, he is gardener for the President. If you want something nifty you had better take Marcus Scheimanf' What has he done? First he sold peanuts on the street corner: then he was,Mayor of Dan- ville, after that he Wrote for 'Good Housekeeping' and 'Ladies Home Jour- nal.' The last I heard of him he was in Italy studying sculptoringf' I am proud of Marcus. There are many more to be proud of. There is Pearl Watson, Gladys Green, Margaret McClenathan, Joanna Jones, Leoti Coombs and Gertrude Hunsaker. They are among the leading suffragettes in the country. Helen Feldkamp can be added to that list too, can't she? I hardly think so. Helen has gone into the advertising business. VVhat does she advertise? String beans. A whole bunch of those kids got married. I supposed they would. They are Mid Mater, Martha Love, Carrie Partlow, Hazel Waite, Bessie Herron, Bernice Shutts, Kate Overman and Jessie Hanks. Haven't you heard from them since? No, people might just as well be dead as get married. Oh yes, we did keep track of Kate Overman. But she has been married three times. Her last husband died and left her quite a fortune, so she bought a farm near Ross- ville and has retired for life. Did any of the boys marry? There is old Addie Isaacson, Ed Daringer and 'Hanse' Blankenburg. Never heard who they married. Addie is a butcher, Ed runs a truck farm in Florida, and 'Hanse' has acquired two hundred pounds of fiesh and is run- ning a German cafe in New York. I suppose you heard about Horace West- men? He was released day before yesterday. Released from what? Didn't you hear about him? He tried to manufacture gold by some chemical process. The government found him out and he was locked up two years ago. ' KG 65 SK SG 43 THE MEDLEY If there is any meanness in a fellow, it is sure to crop out. Yes, you never can tell about kids when they are in High School. Now there was Opal Stipp and Frances Kelley. Everybody always held their breath to see what those two girls would do next. Have they done anything? Not a thing but teach school. Isn't that a shame? Speaking of school teachers, have you heard about Dean Campbell and Helen Ellsworth? No, I havent. When they first left school they taught together in a country school. They got in a quarrel trying to decide who knew more about school teaching, so the partnership was dissolved. Now each is principal of a HighSchool in Westville. One across the street from the other. Clyde Allen is janitor of both. . I am surprised at Clyde. I expected something better of him. Who are the rest of that bunch. Seems as tho I have gone clear around. There are only a few more. Ruth Meyers, Jeannie Freeman. Zora Songer, - Zora Songer? Yes, yes, she and Ina Albert and Elizabeth Arter are running a cattle ranch in Texas. I saw Ruth Meyers in an automobile in Chicago about a year ago. Didn't have a chance to talk to her. Jeannie Freeman has a training school in New York for kitchen mechanics. She is the original Bridget. 'We found that out the night of the Senior-Junior. By the way, Gilbert Collings has made a name for himself. He is one of the most noted brain specialists in the United States, and Harry Cummings is quite' famous too, but in a different line. His peanuts are known the world over. - That takes about all of them doesn't it? All but two. Grace Welch and Ray Hixenbaugh. They are running a race to see which one can make a trip around the world the faster. They started five years ago and we have not heard of them since. I bet Ray will win. I nearly forgot Mr. Henry. I would like to hear about him. He was our class adviser. Henryl Not Glenwood. Yes, it is. Here Ihave him. For the last three years he has been a traveling dramatic instructor. He travels from one school to the other to manage their dramatics. His specialty is Twelfth Night. . . , Life, you have helped me wonderfully. I don't think I will have room in my book forfany one but our Class of 1913. t'Glad that I was able to help you. I hope your book will sell. e 'fThanks, good-bye.

S. Our first year was spent mainly in becoming acquainted 1 and in making our credits, although a few did enter into various athletic contests. , A ' As-Sophomores we organized the class, and chose Hazlett Hahne for president, and Mrs. Meeks for our adviser. It was during this year we had our renowned base ball team, which ina series of five games beat the team of the combined Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors. In a social Way, we enjoyed a progressive party at the homes of the Misses Fera, Rouse, Moore and Palmer, and .later in the year a party at the home of Miss Josephine Lesley. But now we are Juniors, with Mac Taylor as our leader. During this year we are again furnishing material for almost every field. As in our Sophomore Year, we have a good base ball team. This has been our most brilliant social year. In January we were entertained at the Washington Auditorium by the Seniors. This was a remarkable party and all certainly enjoyed it. On May 23d, we gave our return reception to the Seniors in the Wash- ington Auditorium. By the united efforts of our class officers we made this an occasion long to be remembered. Now that you have heard our history you may realize how we expect to be the best Senior Class old D. H. S. has ever seen. 51 Adams, Russel Aitken, Margradell Alkire, Hazel Andrews, Donald Bennett, Gladys Berry, Eunice Blair, Donald Blankenburg, Russell Braucher, Abbie Braucher, Bertha Brown, Lela Burger, Roy Burgette, Nina Callais.

This year, however, We started by electing William James as president, and with his leadership have been very successful as Sophomores. While we have not distinguished ourselves in a social way, we have made a great record in our studies and athletics. With a good record behind us, we expect next year, to have our share of the social events of the school, as Well as the studies and athletics. 55 Aitken, Geraldine Albert, Warren Anderson, Mable R.

Westmen Martha Love T H E M E D L E Y THE ADARIAN LITERARY SOCIETY HE Adarian Literary Society, under the able leadership of Helen Ells- worth and her assistants, has had a very successful year. A number of most enjoyable programs have been given after schcol. One of these was a James Whitcomb Riley program. On May 9th, aiplay entitled, My Wife's Bonnet, was given. The predicaments that the char- acters got into were very funny. ' C Once a month, each literary society has given a program during the Thursday morning assembly period. The Adarians have givensome fine eutertainments of this kind. - C '- This year the usual annual contest between the literary societies was done away with, and instead, the societies gave Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, on Thursday, May 29th. Try-outs were held, in which the members of the societies contested for the parts in the play. The Adarian Society is certainly proud of the work of its members in all the branches of school activities. It was represented in the debate team, in thi-J County Declamatory Contest, in the State District Extempore Speaking Contest, and unmbers the winner of the D. A. R. Essay Contest among its numbers. 61 THE MEDLEY ATHENAEUM LITERARY SOCIETY NORTH TAYLOR PAYNE PARSONS President .,,. .-,, Vice-President Secretary ..,, Treasurer.-- Chairman Program Committee 62 CITIZEN FUNK EDWARD PARSONS MARGUERITE FUNK ,ESTHER NORTH ,,-CARL CITIZEN A .--MAO TAYLOR THE MEDLEY ATHENAEUM LITERARY SOCIETY URING 1912-1913, the Athenaeums have put forth their efforts toward making their society stand for the best, and to reap their usual share of honors. According to the new custom of having each literary society prepare a program for specified, alternate Thursday mornings, the Athenaeums have given some good entertainments. Each time they presented some special feature, as St. Patrick's Day program, and a farce, The Batchelor's Party, taken from the Pickwick Papers. I Their meetings after school have been no less interesting, as a number of farces have been given: Pageant of Joan of Arc, Convention of Realistic Reading, and Pyramus and Thisby, which was taken from ia Shakes- pearean play. - p We have taken the usual share of honors. The school's representatives at Charleston were Athenaeums, as was one of the boys in the Extempore and County contests. Five of the honored people in the D. A. R. contest belonged to the Athenaeums. The Senior honor list was comprised entirely of our members, and many of our members' names appeared on the school honor roll. O, Athenzeums, strong and true, Brave, constant, and never blue, Working for good with all your might, And always keeping your aim in sight , Yours is the life one cares to claim, Your aim attained-success and fame. 63 THE MEDLEY NO TRESPASSING, ESPECIALLY MEN T had always seemed to be taken for granted, as a pre-ordained destiny, that Austen Bear and Genevieve Baker should some day, together sail the sea of matrimony and live happily ever after. ' The substantial Bear cottage stood next to Lockhart Manorg and the children had been playmates since the first day Genevieve walked alone out- side the house. Seeing Austen, an important little fellow of five, standing just on the other side of the fence. she soon made his acquaintance, and the friendship rapidly ripened, until now they were actually engaged. Genevieve was in Berlin finishing her studies in music, and Austen who was plodding away as a lawyer apprentice in London, seldom heard from her. The few letters he received were filled with accounts of the good times she was having, the swell dancers she met, and long descriptions of some perfectly killing Frenchman who had taken her to the theatre. Of course this was not what any young man would expect from his fiancee, but Austen thinking she was only trying to make him jealous, ignored her coldness and did not cease, nor even lessen his affectionate replies. He had only seen her twice in the last three years, so, when she sent him the announcement of her graduation, he naturally wished to go, although she had not sent a word of encouragement, or even expressed a wish to see him. Austen reached Berlin two days before graduation, but, during this time he saw very little of Genevieve. This was explained by the fact that there is much to be done at the last minute,'l and one is always very busy just before graduation. But one thing for which Austen could see no possible reason was the persistent presence of a little black-eyed Frenchman, who was always waiting for Genevieve whenever Austen was waiting, and always with her when Austen met her. He was probably Genevieve's perfectly killing Frenchman, and Austen readily agreed with her, for if looks could kill, the daggers which he sent through his thick glasses at Austen would have driven any ordinary man, at least to unconsciousness. Genevieve, whenever the Frenchman was mentioned, would give some flippant remark, such as Oh, he's a swell dancer, and so stylish, don't you think ? Austen tried his best not to notice Genevieve's little coldness, himself, but when she seemed always to prefer the Frenchman's company to his own, he began to think she wished to be released from her promise. The climax came, when at the last sorority dance, she waltzed every waltz with the Frenchman, and when it came time for her only turn with Austen, she said she was tired and begged to sit it out. This was his chance, and the only one he had had, so he took it. Genevieve did not seem sad or even angry when he told her she was free. She disdainfully called him jealous and fiery-tempered, and would probably have given him many more slander- 64 THE MEDLEY ing epitaphs, if the ever-present Frenchman had not just then appeared fthe only time Austen had ever been glad to see himi. Before the dance was over, Austen was on a train on his way from Berlin, but he was not going back to London. He did not feel equal to meet- ing his friends, who would all learn of his broken engagement. Sauntering up to the little rural post-office, the young man who seemed to have nothing more to do, asked the same question he had asked every day of the ten he had been there, Is there any mail for Austen Bear? But he always knew the answer before it was given, for he had left no address with anyone, and who would ever think of him in this little hamlet in Belgium? Isn't there one English girl in this whole place 'Zi' he asked of a loafer like himself. He had thot it would be very restful to see nothing of pretty girls for the rest of his life, but he had already become tired of seeing only tow- headed, Wooden-shod Dutch girls. Yes, there is one, answered the young fellow, who was also an Eng- lishman but who had been in the hamlet for more than a year, and here she comes now, in her machine. Austen stepped to one side of the door, and when he saw a fair, blue- eyed girl with dark, brown curls, step from the limousine, he imme- diately determined to see more of her. He wished to go where he might be alone and could think up some scheme for becoming acquainted with the girl, so he started up the street. As he had no place in particular to go, he started up a patch which led into the woods. It was early in September, so some of the leaves were begin- ning to turn and a few had fallen. Austen thought his life and all the world was in tune with the falling leaves. He wandered about despond- ently for several hours, with his hands in his pockets and his cap pulled low. Without knowing it, he had been following the course of a little dried stream and came out on a large flat rock, from which the stream had jumped down into a clear little pond, surrounded and shaded by golden maples. He forgot the original purpose of his trip and actually enjoyed himself. He sat down on the edge of the rock and was thinking what a fine place it would be for a dive, when a rustle in the leaves behind him roused him to his sensesg and he was quite startled when a clear whistle rang out directly behind him, Touser, come her! called a sweet feminine voice, and just then a little white fox terrier nosed his way through the leaves and came out on the rock beside him. It was evident that the little fellow was a great pet, for he began barking and pulling at Austen's coat and coaxing to be played with. - Where's your mistress, Touser? Go invite her into the parlor. Oh, I don't need an invitation into my own cozy nook, answered the girl before Austen had time to realize that she was on the rock, and the 65 THE MEDLEY very girl he had been plotting to see. But I don't see how you got here. Didn't you see the sign? No! No! Sit stillg I'm going to sit down, too. Why, what sign? I just came through the woods, but I never saw anything of an advertising nature. Well, if you had come through the gate, you would have seen a pretty good advertisement of the fact that both my aunts are spinsters. What's that? There may be some chance for me then. Yes, a great one, and the girl laughed heartily, but you will think differently when you learn that ,the sign reads, 'No trespassing, especially men.f It was now Austen's turn to laugh, and he certainly did so. When he had recovered sufficiently, he asked, Do they think that would keep me out? Well, it has kept every one else out for the last six years, so you must be pretty brave to risk entering. Whew! the only man Who has entered this sacred portal in six years! That's certainly an honor. Well, I'm glad you came, and please come again, if you can come the same way: but be careful, for if either of my aunts see gcu, they will never let me come out here alone. She was gone, and the dog with her. Whew! if that isn't great! And an invitation to come again. You would certainly think this was leap year. And beware of the ogres. Well, don't you worry, my little girl, I will. Don't you fear! But out, Austen! The spinsters may be abroad. Jumping up, he pushed his way thru the leaves and went back down the hill to the boarding-house. On his second visit, Austen learned her name, and that she would soon be of age, to disregard the wishes of her spinster guardians. A week later a beautiful ring sparkled on Edna Waldon's third finger. The too inquisitive might be told that it was a birthday gift from a distant relative. Nor was this altogether wrong, for the distance was not men- tioned-are we not all descendants of Adam? Genevieve saw no more of her Frenchman after the night of gradua- tion. She would have been delighted to have seen Austen again, but was too proud even to try to find him. She still lives in single blessedness, but we know that Austen doesn't care. LILL1AN SANBERG, '13, 66 THE MEDLEY THE STRANGER'S TALE. N AN obscure corner of the state of New Jersey, grouped comfortably in a sunny, green valley. is a little Dutch settlement-a piece of old Hol- land. itself-transplanted across the Atlantic. The narrow, red-roofed houses, huddled sociably around the tall spire of the church, the surround- ing fields of waving grain, the lazy windmills, squeaking complainingly when some mischievious breeze, wandering among the rustling tree-tops, disturbs the peaceful monotony of their existence: not true Dutch windmills, to be sure, but their presence is a vital part of every Dutch farmhouse. The to lv-headed urchins, a family of chickens, and an occasional hog, all share the democratic playground of the street, and every passing vehicle -if, indeed one does happen to traverse some of the minor highways-dis- turbs whole regiments of savory doughnuts and an august assemblage of mud-pies. The whole town, indeed, seems to doze through the sunny hours of noon day, and exert itself only in the forenoon or the cool of the coming evening,-quite like the true old Dutch life that it is. On a wide bench, deeply and curiously wrought by the jack-knives of many generations, against the shady side of that centre of attraction, the tavern, may usually be seen the husbandry of the neighboring country-side, peacefully smoking their pipes. on a still Saturday afternoon, while their wives are taking tea with their neighbors along the road. It is on this bench that the affairs of the nation are ponderously discussed and deliberated upon, -no matter if they have been decided long ago. Here also, are to be heard, tales of the marvelous, related with great relish, and devoutly believed in by the worthy 'burghers of this peaceful village. The chairman, so to speak, and chief story-teller of this motely assembly, was a small, fussy little man. quite the opposite of the peaceful neighbors, who had once visited the re- nowned island of the Manhattans, and was consequently deemed profoundly versed in legends and tales of his adventures. On this particular afternoon, much speculation was occasioned by the passing of a stage-coach, amid a whirl of dust and a clatter of hoofs through the drowsy streets, and a short stop for Water at the inn. The landlord himself, was much Hurried, and fiew around like an excited old hen, the im- portance of his position quite overcoming him. In the coach was a small, dapper little man, with horn spectacles and a gold-headed cane, a little girl with a basket of eggs and butter, and a rough looking old seaman, with tat- tooed arms, a wooden leg, and a face like the hull of some ancient ship, ac- companied by a huge sea-chest. It was quite evident that this amazing stranger intended to stay, for he ordered his chest to be taken upstairs, and seating himself at a table, ordered a meal. Some of the group on the bench were convinced that he was a retired pirate, others, a bold highwayman, and still others, Old Scratch himself, out on one of his foraging expeditions. Suffice it to say, the newcomer was 67 THE MEDLEY regarded with great awe and curiosity. After a while, the stranger came out of the tavern, and took his seat on the bench. The talk gradually drifted into legends and time-honored superstitious, to which the old seaman seemed to listen, but smoked his pipe in silence. After a while, however, when everyone's favorite tale had been related, he crossed his legs, took his pipe out of his mouth, and uttered a grunt. To this profound observation, the worthy burghers had little to say, but only regarded him with increased re- spect. After another period had elapsed, the stranger emitted another grunt, saying after some difficulty:- I don't believe a word of it. No one dared to dispute this statement, but the chairman of the meeting felt called upon to ask the stranger if he had any adventures in mind, he would condescend to relate. After another interval of silence, the seaman, disregarding preliminaries, told the following story: It was nigh forty year ago, when I wuz layin' off about Lon'on atter a three year's cruise. My gran'father kep' a tavern near the Thames, in an old deserted part of the town, where crimes ha' been committed what no- body likes to think on. One evenin' I wuz spendin' the night at my gran'- father's tavern, an' he got to relatin' tales about things happenin' around them parts, that wuz mighty hard to account fer.' Pears like the inn, itself, wuz up to strange doin's, and, as it had been there for over a century, and uster be a reg'lar stoppin' place for stage coaches, there wuz no tellin' what had happened in its old walls. Well, my gran'father says one night, he wuz in Lon'on an' as it wuz gettin' to be late, an' he had been indulgin' purty freely, he wuz sorter wondering how he wuz to git home. He wuz wanderin' about the yard of the inn where he was stayin', when he seen an old coach, of the fashion of half a century ago, drive up, an' a young man git out an' come towards him. My gran'father thought he acted kinder funny, an' his style of dress hadn't been seen in them parts fer years. But when be said their cab wuz goin' past gran'father's tavern, and offered to drop him there, you kin bet the old man accepted. There wuz a beautiful young lady in the coach, which must ha' been the state-coach of a good family, but she wuz white as death, an' acted as if she wanted to git away from somethin'. They rode on, an' when they reached a lonely part of the road, they were suddenly stopped by two men on horseback, in the same funny kind of dress. One on 'emturned to the young feller an' said, 'We been lookin' fer you, an' you come with us.' At that the boy pointed to a hole in his breast which my gran'father hadn't noticed afore' an' said, 'I can't, I'm dead.' 'That don't make no difference to us,' returned the men, 'so are we. ' Then the young lady let out a screech an' vowed she wuz too, an' then they started a race, the men gallopin' by the coach. All of a sudden every- 68 THE MEDLEY thing seemed to fiy to pieces: the people disappeared an' the lightnin' com- menced aflashin'. My gran'father opened his eyes in the yard of the inn where he first met the young feller, an' made for the tavern jist in time to escape the rain. But he ,know'd he'd been spirited back, an' he remembered that this same party had stopped for a night at his tavern some fifty year ago, an' they had been murdered not long after, as many people were in the barbarous days of the revolution. At the close of this wonderful narrative, little was said, for the tale had left a deep impression on the minds of the assemblage. However, the worthy spokesman soon found his tongue. And had your grandfather been drinking very heavily? he inquired cautiously. But the stranger, not deigning an answer, smoked on in silence. I Margaret Jewell. 69 THE MEDLEY AN ILLUSION OF THE NIGHT. T MUST have been nearly midnight, when young Hank Bird reluctlantly tore himself away from the charming presence of Miss Almira Hum- rickhouse and started on his long weary journey homeward. It cer- tainly would have been more convenient for him, if Mr. Humrickhouse hadn't built his home so far out in the country, and also, if his bay mare had not run a rusty nail into her foot the night before. Hank was always regarded as a very timid boy bythe villagers and country-folk, and could always be most easily frightened by their weird ar d startling stories. Hence, he always rode his bay mare and took his dog with him when he went on his semi-weekly visits to the home of the pretty Almira. But to-night of all the nights, he must walk home alone, and Il e Squire had just told some blood-curdling stories of midnight murders, and of the awful spirits which march about the country at that hour. As I said before,.Hank's mare had run a nail into her foot, and his faitl - ful dog had been too busily engaged in chasingastray cat over the cornfield to heed his master's whistle as he had started forth. Hank walked briskly with his hands in his pockets, and whistled hard to keep in good spirits. He kept this up for about'half a mile, and, as nothing had happened yet, he began to feel better. Still, those awful stories insisted on coming back to him. He was very anxious to get home, and presently started forth in a dog trot, but what little hair he had bristled up and almost raised the cap from his head, when he heard rapid, stealthy foot- steps behind him. p Hank turned pale. His eyes grew as big as his Ingersoll watch, and his legs refused to carry him any farther. The footsteps behind him also ceased. What should he do? Should he run or just lie down and die? He was sure it didn't make much difference to him, if it didn't to this thing, fwhatever it wasl that was following him. As he stood there in an agony of fright, something cold and clammy was thrust into his hand, and a low whining sound reached his ears. He didn't dare move or look behind him. Then a heavy object threw itself against him. Hank groaned and sank to the ground. This must be the ghost of the murdered Pemberton that Mr. Humrickhouse had told him about. Presently something damp, sleek and cool brushed across his face, going up and down, A down and up, and sending thousands of cold chills down Hank's spine. Oh Lord, the terrified boy groaned, don't let this thing get me, and I'll never say a naughty word again, no matter what happens, and I'll al- ways go to Sunday school, every Sunday morning-oh Lord-take it away! When Hank finally came to his senses, he beheld, instead of a sheeted specter, his old dog Shep with a veritable interrogation point on his face, standing guard over him. He felt so inconceivably foolish that he got up without a word and started down the road towards home with Shep trailing dejectedly at his heels. AURELIA STARKS-'16, 70 THE MEDLEY THE MAROON AND WHITE. HEN the st ff of 1913 took up the work of the Maroon and White, they found themselves facing quite a problem, for the paper was about one hundred and twenty-five dollars in debt and without much prospect of getting out. However, with some suggestions and the help of the faculty, a dinner was given in the basement of the Washington school on Saturday, May 4th, 1913, for the benefit of the out-of-town people who had come to the County meet. The proceeds from this dinner placed the paper ona new foundation, and the staff resolved to keep it there. Accordingly, a meeting was called and they agreed to make the paper a uniform size of 24 pages, instead of as many pages as they had material to fill, as had been done before. In this way the price of each issue was also kept uniform. And when at the end of the year they were ready to place it in the hands of the staff of 1914, it not only was out of debt, but had quite a neat bank account. As a Whole the staff of 1913 has done exceptionally well in getting the paper out of debt, and then knowing how to keep it out, as well as by put- tin' out as good, if not a better paper than any preceeding staff. Their only request of the staff of 1914 will be that they make as good a record in the year they have its control as their predecessors. THE STAFF.

The boy's Athletic Association has had a very prosperous year, having supported Foot-ball, Basket-ball and Track. At the beginning of the school year Bion Brown was elected president, Carroll Johnson sec'y-treas., and Hazlett Hahne vice-pres. All these officers have done their duty nobly. 'Ihe Association this year had a total member- ship of eighty. The Association also had afinancial success having a surplus in the treasury at the close of each sport season. This year the Association supported Basket-ball which has been dead in the high school for some years. A very good team was put in the field and with this years experience there is no reason why a championship team should not be produced next season. Owing to professional competition, we have no 'varsity baseball team, altho we certainly have plenty of good material. This year a class series was played and much enthusiasm was shown. 74 THE MEDLEY l I .-mw'-f-- - .zimm-.

'75 i .W THE FOOT BALL SEASON N the second night of school last fall, Captain Brown issued a call for foot ball candidates. It was evident from the start that a great deal of new material was needed to even make a fair showing because of the fact that only five of last year's D men reported. Through the efforts of Coaches Allen and Bookwalter and the undying tenacity of the team, a good showing was made. We ran up against hard luck the first two games and were beaten. First, on September 28th, by the young college at Charleston, and second, by Georgetown. The third game was with Champaign on October 12th, and after a hard iight, they beat us 14A7. On October 19th, the jinx was lost, and we beat our rivals, Tuscola, 27-6. Also on the 26th, we trimmed Urbana in one of the best games of foot ball seen on the local field. On the 31st, Hoopeston was our victim. On November llth, we journeyed to Bloomington and beat the team there 12 -6. November 18th came the memorable trip to Moline. Owing to the great distance we left Friday morning at seven o'clock in the C. I. Sz S. for Chi- cago, where we stayed during the afternoon seeing the sights. At six o'clock in the evening we left over the Rock Island road for Moline, but we didn't get very far. About ten miles out of Chicago the engine broke down, and we didn't get into Moline until three o'clock in the morning. With four hours of sleep we meet the foe and were conquered, but not without show- ing them a few things about our O formation. This is a trip which will always remain the memory of the team-for on no previous trip had they ever had such a fine time. On November 25th, we took Sullivan, who claimed the state champion- ship last year, to the tune of 6-0. On Thanksgiving day, Northwestern Academy was too much for us, we being beaten 6- 0. Considering the amount of new material developed we put out an excel- lent team this season. 75 FOOTBALL TEAM THE MEDLEY 76 Goff Allen, Coach Hahne Brown, Capt.

OOKWALTER-His great tenacity and wide experience developed our team of green men into a first rate aggregation. Kish's plays are wonderful. ALLEN- Jack's favorite is the line. It was his assistance that made the Danville line the stonewall of defense. ' HENRY-To Manager Henry belongs the credit of getting for the team the strpngest schedule known in the history of our school. CAPT. BROWN -Browny's good leadership kept the team in spirits when every thing seemed to go against them. He was one of the best tackles seen here. He also was our star punter. JOHNSON--Captain elect for 1913 team. Bill is a fast end and on defense is invincible. HAHNE-HNig ' is the best full back that ever wore a D. H. S. uniform. He is noted for smashing interference. REARICK-6'M0S6', played a good game at tackle. His specialty was opening up holes for skin tackle plays. GOFF--- Goff is our forward passer. He also plays a good game at half. JAMES- Bill our little runt has certainly got a time foot ball head on him. He is one of the best quarter-backs we have seen. OLMSTED- Swede is a new man at center, but in this his first year of foot ball he has made a name for himself. He will be the mainstay of next year's line.. GLASCOCK- Abe is the other little runt of our team. He is a fast end and is noted for his spectacular tackling. KESLER-l'K6Sll is the fastest man on the team and hepplays a great game at half for his first year. GEORGE-George never has much to say, but he's right there at guard. He is fineon the offense and will be a whirlwind next fall. RYANfHe is a new man this fall, but he made good at guard. lVler's specialty is punching his opponent in the jaw. SMITH- Bill was ageneral utility man this season. He played every position in the line and always made good. ' ALBERTS- Baldy is a good end and should help next year's team greatly. W GASS- Gassie plays a good game at end or in the backfield. 78 THE SQUAD THE MEDLEY J THE MEDLEY SECOND TEAM. Danville had a second team this year that we all should be proud of. It is the scrubs that bear all the hardships and should get all the credit for put- ting' the first team into shape. This year the Athletic Association voted to give the members of the second team who came up to the requirements of the first team a D with an r inclosed.

It was through his eiforts that the few men interested in track, organ- ized a team with Raymond Mick as its captain. Danville High always has a few men of ability who are interested in track, but these few, strive as they will, cannot get even a fair sized number out so that we may be well represented in the meets. Let us turn over a new leaf in track, and just as we did in basket ball, show the other schools what we can do. This year the class meet was won by the Sophomores by a good score. Only one dual meet was held, that with Champaign. We made a good showing, but the visitors carried off honors with a score of 54-42. We repeated our last year's record in the county meet, securing third place. 81 TRACK TEAM. THE MEDLEY 82 THE MEDLEY BASKET BALL ASKET BALL is a sport that has not been participated in for the last five or six years, but this year, due to the progressiveness of the Ath- letic Association, it was voted to support a team. A first class team was put into the field, one which Danville High should be proud of. Also all of this year's material with the exception of one man, will be with us again next year.

H. S. T last Danville High School has what she has needed for so many years -a girls' gymnasium. For three or four years we have been trying to establish some kind of girls' athletics in High school, and have only this year succeeded. Since nineteen hundred and seven, when inter- scholastic basket ball for girls was forbidden, girls' athletics in our High School have been almost at a stand still. The boys have had all the advan- tages over the girls, for they played foot ball, base ball and basket ball, and had track besides. when the girls couldn't even have basket ball games. Last year the girls had an organized basket ball class, connected with the Young Woman's Christian Association, and trained by Miss Rockwood, physical director of that organization, but now We have our own place in which to practice and our own apparatus to use. The assembly hall of the Washington School building has been furnished as a gymnasium that the high school girls may use. The hall is no longer a big, empty room, used only on special occasions, such as commencement and school programs, but is being used to other and better advantages. All the seats have been removed, the lights covered with netting, the fioor marked for basket ball and tennis, and baskets put up for various games. About the first of February, Mr. Smalley announced that there could be a girls' gym if the girls still Wanted one, and if enough were willing to enroll for practice. This was just what had been wanted, and more than half the girls in the school handed in their names as desirous of entering the class. In fact so many names were given in that it was necessary to ask the girls who were having gymnasium work in the Young Woman's Christian Asso- ciation to remain in that class, and so give the others, who were having no physical training at all, an opportunity to get the use of our High School gymnasium. The first class was held in the latter part of February, and the girls plainly showed their enthusiasm at that time. Each practice they have been having marching drills, with and without wands, calisthenics, and games, all under the direction of Mr. Fausel, the physical director of the public schools. Besides these drills they are taught basket ball.. This year has been spent more in the building of firm foundation and strong constitution for the harder and rougher games which will come next year. While the girls have not become exactly what one might term expert basket ball players, still a marked improvement is shown, since the first of the year, and next year, we hope that there will be a few public games to exhibit their skill. Now, tho, since this year the ball has been started rolling and pro- visions made for girls' athletics, we hope thateach year there can be some improvements made until finally we may have our ideal gymnasium equipped with all the best apparatus-and in our new High School. 86 59' sf HJ k , ' J X ,.

H. S. URING the last few years Danville has had a renewed impetus along the lines of oratory, debating, declaming, extempore speaking and essay writing. In each case the representatives were chosen by a competitive contest. In the 1911-12 term, Northcott R. Thomas, '12, and Edgar Roos, '14, were chosen to represent usin the County Meet. Both orations were accepted on their composition and thot, and therefore both were later delivered. The one given by the former, The True Patriotism of Lee, Won second place. This winning oration was entered in the State District contest, and after being passed on for composition and thot, was delivered by Mr. Thomas at Tuscola. He here won second place, and as a result was eligible for the State contest at Urbana. Here he won third place, being the only Danville representative to place in such an affair. S At the State District Contest, Edgar Roos represented us in extempore speaking. In the fall of 1913, Mr. Rorem took charge of the debating and arranged for a triangular debate between Danville, Paris and Sidell. He coached both teams, and their success in these debates was due largely to his efforts. This spring Danville sent two representatives to the State District Ex- tempore Speaking Contest at Rantoul. They were Jesse Sutton and Clyde Allen. The subjects assigned them were respectively, Automobile Bank- ruptcy, and Should Public Opinion Support the Sympathetic Strike? Out of seventeen contestants they won sixth and third places. As this was only our second attempt in anything of this kind we expect to make a better showing next year and be represented in the State Contest. This year Theodosia Dwiggins represented D. H. S. in the County Declamatory Contest. In the Eastern Illinois Declamatory Contest, Carl C. Citizen and Marguerite Funk represented us. They made an excellent show- ing, the selections given by them being Webster's Reply to Hayne, and Virginian, but failed to place. Much credit is due to the local chapter of the D. A. R. for their efforts in bringing about interest in essay writing, by offering a prize each year for the best essay, to be written on some subject assigned by them. The first and second places this year were won by Marian McConnel and Hazel Mad- den respectively, the subject of both essays being Dramatic Incidents of the Revolution. 90 THE MEDLEY AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM.

This year another banquet was given and was declared the best ever by all in attendance. Although by age the club is but an infant of three years, it has already made itself quite a powerful factor in D. H. S. Its purpose is to teach by practice, debating and parliamentary usage. The club hasdone more for its members than might have been expected. It has put strength into the trembling knees, loosened the stammering tongue and cleared the clouded brain. All the members are active, for the constitution provides that all drones become non-members automatically. Each fellow is recognized by hismerits and efforts and is boosted upward by the fellowship of the club. Elections occur at the end of each semester. During the first term of this school year the following men were the officers: President, Carl Citizen, vice-president, Mac Taylor: secretary-treasurer, William Halbert: chairman of program committee, Jesse Sutton: sargeant-at-arms, Kline Gray. For these respective positions during the second semester the following were the ofiicers: Paul Brown, Marcus Scheiman, James Gillison, Russell Adams and Nat McFadden. ' Mr. Rorem, adviser and critic of the club during the past year, created a new interest by starting a series of'debates, the contestants including all members interested. The contest ended by the two best contestants, Ralph Rouse and Paul Brown receiving gold and silver medals respectively. The former was the gift of Mr. Rorem. Besides their regular work, the club took up extempore speaking this spring, and all feel well repaid for their endeavors along this line. The best work during this and every preceding year has been the devel- opment of raw material. This not only gives the fellows themselves a valu- able asset, but also guarantees the permanency of the club and a future far surpassing its past. P. E. B. 93 THE WRANGLERS CLUB.

U THE MEDLEY MUSIC IN D. H. S. LTHO we have no regular music hour in High School, Mrs. White, musical director of the city schools, tried something new and organ- ized a class composed of girls from all four classes, to meet for forty minutes after school. At first there were two classes, the Freshman-Sophomore, and the Junior-Senior, but when the Semi-Chorus was selectcd it was found that it took too much time, and so the classes united into one chorus, meeting each Monday evening for practice, and the Semi-Chorus on Tuesday evening. The first public entertainment of the chorus, given Thursday evening, December 19th, was the cantata, Snow White by Franz Abt, and was a great success. Then on Friday morning, March 21st, they gave an assembly program, and on Thursday evening, May lst, sang the Chorus of the Houris at the Choir Festival at the First M. E. Church. The Semi-Chorus also has done some good work this year, and although they only tied for first place at the County Contest on May 3d, we do not feel badly, when we consider that there were only three members of last year's Semi-Chorus who sang this year. The new material, however, was good and will make a winning chorus for next year. The first appearance in public of the Semi-Chorus was on Saturday morning, April 26th, when they sang two songs for the District Teachers' Convention at the Washington Auditorium. The first number was Car- mina Waltz Song, and the second was the Bridal Chorus, the regular Semi-Chorus song. Again at the program on Senior day, Thursday, May 22d, they gave one number. They also served as the choir on Bacculaureate Sunday, June 8th, and for Commencement Wednesday, June 11th. The members of the Semi-Chorus are: First Sopranos-Buelah Faris, Martha Love, Emma Stipp, Rosamond Scroggs. Second Sopranos-Frances Bennett, Lela Brown, Marjery Rouse, Marie Spicer. , First Altos-Elizabeth Arter, Jessie Hanks, Cassie Love, Bernice Smith. Second Altos-Gladys Bennett, Dean Campbell, Lucy Fairhall, Alice Massing. 95 THE SEMI-CHORUS THE MEDLEY 96 Ill .se s: va U1 5 o DS us 9 O A C Campbell Fairhell Love Bennett Stipp Bennett Se E Massin mith S rter A Brown picer s S S crogg Faris THE MEDLEY 4, 1 W , ff f H W?

Since its organization in 1902, it has continued to grow and to spread its influence, some of its members who are now alumnae, having established similar clubs. In their earnestness and loyalty, the girls have shown themselves to be wide awake and alive, for the girlish problems solved in the Thursday even- ing hour. Adopting the thought that Hawthorne expressed when he said, The heart of womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it, they have banded together in trying to make the dark of this world a little lighter. Each year in the history of the club has seen some improvement in the management of the annual Christmas tree, and this year has proved no ex- ception. Under the leadership of Jessie Hanks, over fifty children were given a splendid time, their joyful faces fully repaying the girls for all their labors. . Judging by this success, we are sure that the Girls' Club is a feature which the members would not willingly let die, and which they hope will serve as an inspiration to all who will- make use of its teachings. 99 THE EIEDLEY 100 4114 W 'mx A an 433-8x1 A1 iw N ,gg xx J vie ,ed ,N if ,Sy s iff- THE MEDLEY fX xl ,f wif f 3- , J A A .Z 1 'spa mw, f 15153 Q 'mln I all cf' 4 Q a 0 A All Al 4 'rf 0 . 0 AQ . 1 4 5 4 d K I JA -X:E-'F-y'1 13' fx 1-f s A , N f Q x .

The walls of the old Assembly Hall never heard such music, such yelling, or such enter- tainingly eloquent speaking. The guests were received by Miss McFarland, Mr. Smalley, Miss Josephine Blose, Mr. Ed Parsons, Miss Marguerite Funk, Mr. Bicknell Woodbury, Miss Beulah Faris and Mr. Fred King. The Assem- bly room was the center of attraction. Floyd Goff, in his much-beloved Ma- roon sweater held the platform for the greater part of the evening. After every one had met every one else and had had his fortune told, a program was given as follows: Musici. ................. .......... ...... H 1 GH Scxool.

Those having charge of the entertainment were Miss Talbot, Mr. Marker, and Miss Symons, assisted by the chairmain of each class social committee and one other member of each class. 102 THE MEDLEY THE SENIOR-JUNIOR HE Senior-Junior Reception was given on Friday night, December 13, in the Washington Auditorium. Among the diversions of the evening. a track meet between the two classes was no doubt the most exciting, It was followed by an extempore speaking contest. In this, each speaker was given one minute to talk upon a subject given him after he reached the platform. A similiar contest was later held, in which three people spoke at once, each upon his own subject, in an eiort to out-talk the others. The main feature of the evening was a farce called The Real Thing, given by the Seniors. The personnel was as follows: Mr, McGinnis .......... ..........,.. ..... . ..... M R . IVAN DAVIS Office Boy ,... ..... MR. NAT MCFADDEN Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins.- ..... Miss LUCILLE WI1.SON Mrs. Delancey Pelld-. ,, ..... Miss GRACE SYMONS Mrs. Hawkins ...... .,..., . - ....,. . .... Miss RUTH KNEEDLDR Bridget O'Hair-,-- ..., ,- ,... ......., M Iss JEANNIE FREEMAN The ladies to be surveyed were MARTHA LovE, DEAN CAMPBELL, BERNICE SHUTTS, HELEN FELDKAMP, CAMILLE KIERAN and GRACE WELCH. The Real Thing was a story of an employment agency where the ser- vants came to select their mistresses. Following the farce a buffet luncheon was served. The reception committee consisted of Carl Citizen, president of the senior class, and Lucille Wilson, Dean Campbell and Wallace Hixon of the social committee, The hall was decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, leaves and wigwams. In two of the wigwams fortunes were told by Miss McFarland and Miss Willard. At the end of the hall hung the large banner of the class of 1913. On the platform was the banner of the class of 1914, made of corn stalks and paper. Small pennants in green and white, the Junior class colors, were also used. ' . Although there was no dancing, as formerly, every one had such a good time that the reception was quite a success. A 103 T H E M E D L E Y THE JUNIOR-SENIOR N Friday night, May 23, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at their an- . nual reception in the Washington Auditorium. The reception commit- tee consisted of the class officers, Mac Taylor, president, Esther Cooper, vice-president, Cline Gray, secretary and treasurer, and Sara Moore, chair- man of the social committee. The first game of the evening was Whois Who? In the game, authors, statesmen, musicians, advertisements, and baby pitures of the seniors were used. The principle game of the evening was Progressive Thoughts. In this diversion, thirteen tables were used complementary to the class of 1913. The leader of the Thinkers chose Thoughts, such as Athletics, School, Travel, Given Names, Places, etc. The Hnal winners were those who were able to speak the loudest and most rapidly. A dramatic portrayal of the history and personnel of the class of 1913 was one of the main features of the evening. This was given in pageant form. During the evening, a delightful supper was served. The mhsic was furnished by members of both classes. A great deal of credit is due to the individual work and enthusiastic support of both classes. The teachers who helped the class adviser, Mrs. Meeks, in the entertain- ment were Miss Talbott, Miss Harper and Mr. Loring. 104 THE MEDLEY 'rasrggrrff Tvmrm Nnem' WHEAT Y995 WM exams? WBHEA Qassinaeasfmss 'A mmmigs T H E M E D L E Y SNOW WHITE An Operetta N Thursday evening, December 19, 1912, the Girls' Chorus gave their first public entainment of the year. The affair was given in the High School Assembly hall before a large and appreciative audience, many of whom were Alumni of D. H. S., this Alumni gathering being a feature of the evening. It is planned to make this Alumni reunion an annual affair and bring together once more those who have gone in search of higher education, or are on the trail of the almighty dollar. Promptly at eight o'clock the well arranged program commenced. It was as follows: D. H. S. ORCHESTRA. HIGH SCHOOL, MALE QUARTET. PIANO SoLo. CANTATA- Snow White -Franz Abt. Director-Mus.

This program proved to be very interesting and showed the ability of Mrs. White and several members of the Faculty to direct such an entertain- ment. It was a success financially and socially, and all are looking forward to the next musical production and Alumni reunion. 106 THE MEDLEY TWELFTH NIGHT ERHAPS one of the most successful, most entertaining, and most in structive plays ever given by the Danville High School was produced Thursday evening, May 29th, 1913. Twelfth Night, or What you Will is one of Shakespeare's funniest plays. It is one big laugh from start to finish, and the audience was kept laughing all the time. By eight o'clock the High School Assembly was literally chucked full of eager spectators and critics assembled from all over the city. At the proper time the curtain rose amid the clamor and applause of the immense crowd, and fromthen on until the fall of the curtain at the end of the tifth act the onlookers were kept in an uproar. Sir Tobey and Aguecheck were the fun makers, while the fool was the biggest fool of all the fools. The financial part of Twelfth Night was just as successful as the entertaining part. The play was given by a caste, half of which was from the Athenaeum Literary Society, and the other half from the Adarian Literary Society. The money made was dedicated by both societies to the Medley. Therefore Twelfth Night was what was termed the Medley play in former years. The whole success of this play was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Henry and several other members of the Faculty. The synopsis of the play was as follows : ACT I. Scene I. The Duke's Palace Scene II. The Sea Coast. Scene III. 0livia's House. Scene IV. The Duke's Palace. Scene V. Olivia's House. ACT II. Scene I. The Sea Coast. Scene II. A Street. Scene III.

THOMAS Born, April IT, I894 Died, Mly 24, I9I3 CLASS OF '12 - GERALD CARR Born, July 3, l894 Diod, Janulry 5, I9l3 CLASS OF '15 109 THE MEDLEY To the Students of the High School: I think that every alumnus is glad to say something that will encourage the students, because the alumnus knows that it is a hard row to hoe in high school, and harder still outside. But the student must not be bluffed out by the fact that it is harder outside, because his high school education will certainly be of aid to him. Whatever influence may have kept him in school, whether it was father's stern hand, or a desire for personal achievement, he should be congratulated for having that influence. A I have never talked to a former student of the high school who quit before graduation but who thought he had madea mistake by leaving, and wished he had had some such influence to keep him there. Far be it from me to be giving fatherly advice, sol will merely say I wish I had done better when Ihad the chance to do so, from the fact that it is surprising the number of men who say 'Did you do well in high school?' At the same time I am proud of the fact thatl did graduate, although I was not a bright and shining light. Hoping that the few words I may say will be appre- ciated as coming from one who has been in and out, and thanking you for this opportunity to say something to you, I beg to remain, Sincerely yours, GEORGE O. PAYNE. 110 T H E M E D L E Y Q1IIIIIIllIIllIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIllIIIIlIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIllll!llIlIIIllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIllllllllllllllIHIIINIIIIIE L i CALENDAR Fon 1912---1913 2 QIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIll!llllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIll!lIIlllllIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIlllllIllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIllllllllllllllllllllll MAY, 1912 4.

It's a bloomin' outrage that even the high brows of our English dep can't tear off a little American talk without running in a bunch of slang on us. A few days ago some boob gave us such a spiel, we couldn't get head nor tail of it. He got our deck so shuffled We didn't know what was trumps till finally we got a hunch that he was trying to string us. It was a rotten trick, and we shall be leary of such gents in future. We want you all to stow away under your lids that the gang that puts out this sheet, from the main squeeze down to the devil won't stand for any such slush. Choke it. The Sophmores are like the breezes, They swiftly come and go: They puff themselves up immensely, And blow, and blow, and blow. Latin Students-Why is the third conjugation like an old maid? Because it has no bo in the future. Haw! Haw! Mr. Henry, conducting Physiology quiz-What is tie characteristic feature of the vertebrae, Mr. Olmsted ?

She restoreth my pocket book after she hath spent all of its contents for hobble skirts, and theatre tickets, and she leadeth me up the main isle of the church for her hat's sake. 4. Yea, though I walk more than half the night through dark rooms with a crying baby, I will get no rest, for she is behind meg her broom stick and her hat pin they do anything but comfort me. 5. She prepareth a small snack for me, then maketh a bee line for the Mothers' Domestic Club. She anointed my head with a rolling pin. Occasionally my arms runneth over with bundles before she is half through shopping. 6.

Giddings--You must have worn them on your head. The old lady from the country and her small son were driving to town when a huge motor car bore down upon them. The horse was badly fright- ened and began to prance, whereupon the lady leaped down and began to wave wildly to the chauffeur, screaming at the top of her voice. The chauffeur stopped the car and offered to help get the horse quiet again. That's all right, said the boy, who had remained composed in the buggy, I can manage the horse: you just lead mother past. A Valentine Ditty Our teachers love their iron-clad rules That fill our lives with woe: Our poor grades they come thick and fast, Our' good ones, awfully slow: ' But sometimes thru this vale of tears, I think of that happy time, ' When all our trials will be over, And you'll be my valentine. I tell you, said the Globe trotter, travel is a great thing. If there is anything in a man, travel will bring it out. Yes, replied his pale, newly landed friend, especially ocean travel.
