m[Hir£in [ r prEirYinmr9imr4i Jitiattmi nf OIUiss af ’14 LTHOUGH we have lost a number of our class of 1910, yet we have kept a sufficient number to maintain the dignity and honor of D. H. S. During our first year Vera Dowker carried off literary honors, and Marian McConnell represented us on the Maroon and White, so that we felt we were doing some good for Danville High, even though we did look “green.” Our second year saw us organized, with Hazlett Hahne as president, and Mrs. Meeks as class adviser. We seemed to be ascending the ladder of fame, for we were not only represented in the annual County Meet, but in the State Meet at Charleston. We did not allow our social duties to drag, however, but were entertained at a number of parties by some of our members. Nineteen Thirteen did sound unlucky, but as a class we prospered, and left superstition far in the rear. We had a capable leader. Mack Taylor, and an excellent adviser, Mrs. Meeks, to steer the way for us. Besides our enjoyable social gatherings, we took part in such a varied program as, music, debating, oratory, declamation, athletics and dramatics. In fact our star players in “Twelfth Night” were of the Class of 1914. As our Senior year rolled around, all of us busied ourselves in preparation for the final lap-“graduation. ” Yet we did not set aside our loyalty to old Danville High, or our dignity as Seniors. On the contrary, we furnished the leaders for the majority of activities. We are again glad to note that places in the State and County Meets were taken by our classmates. We should also note the changes made by our class. We decided to be original, and ordered our class rings to correspond with our pins. There has also been a social change, for, in place of the two receptions formally given by the Junior and Senior classes, respectively, the a fairs were united into one grand banquet at the Plaza Hotel an April 24th. We know we shall be missed at D. H. S. just as much as we shall miss our school days, but it is our unavoidable duty to move on and give the others a chance to show what they can do. V. K. D. 21
