THE MEDLEY GREETING Of the making of books there is no end. UCH was the declaration of the wise men. We all know this to be true. 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. THE EDITORS. 3
