THE MEDLEY THE CLASS OF 1913. 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
