Then is the time when we can he proud of our building. But despite the fact that our building is old and far too small, we should be proud of it. In it have been produced some of the best high school classes in the world. Old Danville High will long he remembered, not for the building alone, but for the spirit and feeling that goes with it. Page Eight ID. C. BAER, A.b., Principal Wabash College Lake Forest University, A. B. Columbia University MW. BAER is a fine example of that class of men who, although extremely busy as executives, take time to become friends of the students and gain their confidence. He has always had the students’ interests at heart- Tn everything they attempt, he is willing to back them and lend them his earnest support. His helpful suggestions to individuals have accomplished results that before were realized with difficulty. As the Class of ’20 meets tin outside world and comes shoulder to shoulder with people who have only their selfish aims in view, the members of that class will remember the ideal friendliness and comradeship of Principal Baer. As the months pass into years, and our lives are broadened by experience, bitter and sweet, then, and then only, will we fully appreciate our association with our principal.

Lesch, President LET it here be recorded that in the year 1916 a goodly band of freshmen entered the portals of D. II. S. to pursue knowledge and success. These aforementioned freshies were not a shade less green than their predecessors, but they were at least as progressive and eager as all green things. The Class of 1920 was the first freshman class to organize itself and elect officers. But our allotted space is short, so let us pass hurriedly from that first year of thri 11s—and disillusionments. During the last three years the class lias not been sleeping. Annually they have elected class officers, have sought to give their class an active place in the movements of 1). II. S., and have come together with jests and good will and enjoyed class parties. As time passed and the young, green shoots began to ripen, the school began to hear from the Class of 1920 in athletics, in debating, in dramatic art, and, we may truthfully say, in scholarship. We come now to the end of our high school career, and we look back on the record of our class, not with regret or misgiving, but with pride. Our most sincere wish is that as the years pass and the members of the class make further history, that those histories may be worthy of our motto and our class.

Looking back through the school year we are greeted by the success and the progress our class has made. We were well represented in all scholastic activities, as well as in athletics, having five “D” men on the football team and four on the basketball team. Thus, the class upheld the name that they had made in the two preceding years as they always will. And so we will continue. We shall win for ourselves new honors and laurels; we shall continue to hold up our high standards, to further all the interests of the school and prove that we are one of the best classes, if not “the” one best class in D.

This development was not confined to mental lines, however, as they have been well represented on all athletic teams. In the fall of 1919, the following officers were elected: President, Burton Liese; ice-IYosidont, Calvin Lauer; Secretary, Francis Wellenreiter; Treasurer, Carl Woolly; Chairman of Social Committee, Helen Dallas.

He plays the fc ’ The Bojs Athletic Association |X the fall of 1919 the hoys of Danville High elected the following officers for the school year: President, Joe Bailey; Vice-President, Alva Nelson; Secretary, Edward Bosch; Business Manager, Martin Hepburn. We are proud of these officers, as each lias faithfully and successfully carried through his work. The Athletic Association had its record breaking membership this year, having a total of 450 fellows. This gave the officers a means by which to equip twelve men with complete football outfits. The old uniforms added to these new ones afforded a means by which twenty-five players were equipped. Basketball uniforms have likewise been plentiful, as the entire first team was equipped with new uniforms before the close of the season. The Purdue Glee Club was obtained by the Association for a concert in the Washington auditorium. Tf was a wonderful success, and goes forth among the many things the Athletic Association has done. Everybody joins with the Medley Staff' in thanking the members of the Boys’ Athletic Association for their wonderful support and the way in which they have helped to make the year of 1919-1920 a success. Page Forty-seven 71 S soon ;is tlic old gates of Danville High opened in the fall of 1919 the football spirit was beginning to take hold of everyone. The talk was of the good football team we were going to have and the wonderful prospects. Everything surely looked fine. On September 0, a meeting of all football men netted about fifty fellows. Short talks were made by .Mr. Baer, Mr. Wakeley, and Mr. Meyer, our new coach. Mr. Meyer is a man who has shown us his ability by the letter lie won at the Whitewater Normal School in Wisconsin. We all knew he was from Wisconsin when we went to the Wisconsin-Illinois game at I r-bana. The prospects as we have mentioned certainly looked good, eight of the letter men of 1918 being hack. Capt. “Bob” I laimum, “ Bud” Smith, “Zick” Freeman, Lowell doubling, Wilbur Dice, Harlan Shields, “Bill” Collignon, and “Doe” Williamson are “D” men of previous years. The new and “l)li” men are Guy Freeman, Ed. Lesch, Joe Bailey, 1 om Hanson, Mack Rainier, Joe Wilson, “Bob” Johnson, Alga Randall, Emil Freimeyer, “Doc” Clinch, “Tete” Woolsey, Roy Talbott, and Melvin Hall. The ineligibles who gave much assistance are: Alva Nelson, Thurl Freeland, Ted Freeland, Fred Robison, Earl GasthofT, and “Bob” I [annum, who became ineligible after the Georgetown game. Why should football take such a hold on students and alumni'! The answers, we say, are many. Football is by far the most scientific and intricate of team games. It is one that certainly has aroused the interest of the people of Danville after our first two or three games. Our men showed some real fight this year, and it has been a season that none of us will soon forget. Page Forty-eight |r THE 1920 Standing. l« ft to right—Rainier. Johnson. Hanson.

The weather permitted a good game, although the referee was not one of the best. In the first quarter “Zickie” Freeman made a thirty yard run for a touchdown, receiving a pass from Ilannum. He also intercepted one of Kankakee’s, making the score 12—0 in Danville’s favor. In the second quarter Williamson made a touchdown on Kankakee’s fumble. In the third quarter Kankakee opened up hut failed to gain. In the fourth quarter the ball was see-sawed back and forth till Fetzer made Kankakee’s only touchdown. Smith and Freeman made touchdowns for Danville and the whistle blew when the score stood 32—( in Danville’s favor. Touchdowns—Freeman 3, Smith 1, Williamson 1, Fetzer 1. THE WATSEKA GAME. October 11, a drizzling rain almost stopped our trip to Watseka. Watseka had chalked up her victory before the game, byt we showed 'em how to chalk it up. In the first quarter Smith and Ilannum went over for touchdowns. In the second quarter Han-num and Freeman went over after runs of “beaucoup” yards. In the third quarter Dice and Williamson received passes and ran for touchdowns. “Zick” also went over again. Danville sent in subs in the last quarter. Ilannum made the last touchdown, making the final score 52—0. Touchdowns—Ilannum 3, Smith 1, Freeman 2, Wiliamson 1, Dice 1. THE VILLA GROVE GAME. On October 18, Danville met and defeated Villa Grove by a score of 58 to fi. Villa Grove made their one and only touchdown by intercepting one of Danville’s passes and running forty yards. ilia Grove had a good back field and a fair line, but neither one was able to stop the “hammer” that Danville plugged into them. The first quarter netted 9 points, the second the total was 21, the third 39, and the whistle blew with the ball in Villa Grove’s hands, and with the score 58 to 6. Doubling made the spectacular run of the game, but the ball was returned because he stepped outside. Ilannum, Smith and Freeman were the principal ground gainers. THE URBANA GAME. Danville journeyed to I rbana October 25th and defeated that aggregation by the score of 53—7. Urbana was the strongest team Danville had met up to this time , and everybody was excited about the outcome. Georgetown had defeated Urbana 20—0, and everybody wanted to see Georgetown defeated. The team worked fine together and the passes were working well. Our backfield hit hard and much ground was covered by Lowell Goulding, as he was surely grabbing passes that day. The first half ended 14—-7 Page Fifty as Lewis, Urbana’s halfback intercepted a pass and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. The final whistle blew with the score piled to 53 in Danville’s favor. TIIE PARIS GAME. This was the “nastiest” game of the whole season. Danville really played its poorest game with Paris for some reason or other, but the final score ended 73—0 in Danville’s favor. The Paris boys were slightly “green”, but they had one man in the hackfield who was fast and heavy. When he started it took two or three to stop him. Smith, Ilanniun and Freeman, with Williamson as a new half, covered much ground. This was Danville’s highest score of the season but one that we are not as proud of as some of the others. THE GEORGETOWN GAME. On November 15, 191!), Danville succeeded in walloping her old rival, Georgetown, hv a score of 13—7. Although Georgetown had been defeated by Westville, we knew they had a good team before the game started. Smith and Macklin of Georgetown played a real game of football. Their ends were very good and the team was the toughest we had met up to that time. Danville played clean football all the way through. The players were handicapped a little on account of the heavy field, but it was the snappiest game of the season. Danville made both their touchdowns in the first half, although nearing the goal several times later. Georgetown scored their touchdown by a short pass over the goal line. We’ll never forget this game. THE WESTVILLE GAME. As Georgetown was defeated by Westville two weeks before, Danville looked forward to a smashing bunch from the “southern city,” and for the first few minutes it certainly looked as though we had what we had expected. Rut we soon made up for the loss. Westville opened the game with a seventy yard run for a touchdown. Three plays completed this. Soon Danville tied the score by a long pass to Dice, who carried the ball over. The first half ended 7—7; and no more points were scored by either side until the third quarter. Danville came back hard and netted three more touchdowns. “Zicky” Freeman, who was at quarter, made several gains amounting to many yards. Williamson made a sixty yard run fora touchdown. The last half ended 28- -7 in Danville’s favor. THE TAYLORVTLLE GAME, lie brilliant football season of Danville was brought to a close on Thanksgiving November 27, 1919, with the most exciting game of the season with Tavlorville School. It was without a doubt tin hardest fought battle ever staged on the I. 1. Tavlorville had some experienced men and some fast ones too. Their quarterback their one and only touchdown in the second quarter by a fake end run. Danville their only touchdown by straight football from the 40 yard line. Smith carried the ball over. This tied the score and it remained the same throughout the game. Danville as handicapped at this time by the loss of I [annum, Woolsey, and Goulding. Rut Dan-vilie “never says die.” I )ay, II igh field, made made Page Fifty-one Tke Squad “Bob” Hannum, quarterback and captain of this year’s eleven, played a whirlwind of a game as a pilot, starring as a punter and open field runner. Bob was a hard tackier and a good ground gainer. Ineligibility pulled Bob out of the game after the mid-semester exams. Hard luck, old top. “Bud” Smith, fullback and acting captain, played an excellent game of football. When Bud took the ball he generally made a gain and often carried the ball for long distances. Bud knew how to smash the line and follow interference. On both offensive and defensive, Bud displayed unusual ability and was one of the mainstays of the team. He was correctly nicknamed the “Plow Horse” as he surely plowed through them. “Doc” Williamson, right end and right halfback, was a valuable man on both offense and defense. Many a pass “Doc” speared in the air and carried over for a touchdown. He was a hard smasher as defensive end, smearing practically everything coming his way. It became necessary to take “Doc” from end and place him in the back field, where he played the same class of football, tearing thru the line on smashes and skirting the ends for neat gains. Always full of pep and fighting till the last whistle. “Zickie” Freeman, left half and quarterback, was fast on his feet. When he carried the ball he made his yards either along the ground or by his high diving over the pile. “Zickie” was a sure tackier and smeared many a man who tried to get by. Lowell Goulding, right half, was a star when it came to getting down under punts and onside kicks. Lowell hit the line liardand fast, doing his utmost whenever the opportunity was at hand. Lowell was a valuable man to the team. After the Urbana game he took sick, never again to play for the Maroon and White. Carl Woolsey, sub-quarter and left end, although the smallest man on the team, was by no means the least valuable. Carl was a sure tackier, never letting them slip by. He was by far the fastest and most dangerous man on the squad on defense. Carl’s fine spirit and attitude won for him the respect and confidence of the team, who made him captain-elect for the 1920 squad. Wilbur Dice, left end, was fast getting down under punts and had the ability to get into the open for a forward pass, lie was playing a. good brand of football when the season closed. Injuries kept Wilbur out of several games, but when he came back he filled his old position the same as before. “Mel” Hall, sub-halfback and right end, a new man at the game this year, demonstrated that he has the ability and making of a football player. “Mel” has lots of grit and took a great deal of punishment in order to prove his worth. He could drive hard and never hesitated to dive into a play and smear the interference. Ed. Lesch, left tackle, was one of the fellows who played his first football last fall. Page Fifty-two MEDLEY- He worked into shape well and soon became one of the fixtures of the team, playing every minute of every game. Ed. got through the opponent’s line and stopped many plays before they were fairly started. Emil Freimeyeb, right tackle, played one of the most commendable games of football that could be played. He was in every play on both the offense and defense, and after every game nursed some sort of injury, showing that his courage and pluck kept him fighting till the end. Emil was one of the hardest and most consistent players of the squad. Mack Raimeb, sub left half, was new at the game last fall, but by the end of the season was standing out as a man valuable to the team. Mack was fast on his feet and especially good on defense. Mack will be heard from next fall. Joe Bailey, right guard, was a new man at the game also last fall, but played a good game throughout the season until unfortunately he had his ankle sprained, which put him out of the play. Joe always had a hole open when the play was to go over his part of the line. He also played a good dependable game on defense. Tom Hanson, right guard, although handicapped greatly physically, played a splendid game of football on both offense and defense. Tom was a hard fighter. Very few times did the gang unpile when Tom was not on the bottom. He was as hard as iron and found to be a stone wall when attempts were made to run a play through him. “Newt” Shields, left guard, was conspicuous on account of his silence, never saying a word except “uh” but always digging and fighting to the utmost on both defense and offense. “Newt” did not accomplish spectacular plays but just played a good cool and steady game all the time. “Bill” Collignon, center, in the estimation of all critics, played a remarkable game, getting the ball to the backfield fast and accurately. His passing was far above the average. “Bill” was a bear on defense, driving over the opposing center and smashing plays before they could get started. The opponents couldn’t gain an inch thru center. “DR’s” “Bob” Johnson, sub center, will be a strong contender next fall for a place on the varsity, having proved himself last fall. “Doc” Clinch, even though the smallest player on the squad, demonstrated his grit on the second team as quarterback. Howard Carson, sub-linesman, is made of the right stuff for a football player, and will be in the line next fall. Guy Freeman, sub tackle, was a hard tackier and promises to be a valuable man next year. “Bill” Christy is lacking in size but is full of grit and “pep” enough to make up for it. He is also on the list as a comer. Page Fifty-three LOWELL M. GOULDING Lowell Goulding, son of Mr. and Mrs, George Goulding, was born May 7, 1901, in Vermilion Heights, of Danville, Illinois. He received his early education in the public schools of Danville. He entered Danville High School in February, 1916. He had very successfully carried his Freshman, Sophomore and Junior work and would have graduated with the Class of 1920. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, and one of the cleanest members of the school. He was popular in both athletics and other forms of school life. He had won his letters in track and football, and was one of the best athletes ever turned out by the school. At the piano he was one of unusual ability, having taken part in many Athe-darian programs. Lowell Goulding passed away Wednesday, the 17th day of December, 1919, at Lake-view Hospital, following a sickness and injury which placed him in bed October 26, 1919. He was slightly injured in the Urbana football game, and complications developed which caused his death. Never before was such � shock received by a student body as was the shock his death caused the students of Danville High School. An impressive funeral ceremony was held in the Washington Auditorium, the first school funeral ever held in Danville, after which he was laid to rest in the Springhill Cemetery on Saturday, December the 20th, 1919. Page Fifty-four . .TENNIS.. Tliis year, under the direction of Mr. Karraker and Miss Orissey, tennis, which has been apparently dead in Danville High School since 1911, again takes its place in our athletic section. The interest which was taken by the hoys and girls alike in this athletic sport was surprising. THE BOYS’ TENNIS TOURNAMENT. While looking over the records of our present faculty, it was noticed that Mr. Cyrus II. Karraker had won the Collegiate championship between Lake Forest and Northwestern in 1916, and also in the same year the Southern Illinois championship. When we conceived the idea that we had a real tennis champion in our midst, we immediately wanted to start a tennis tournament under his direction. Mr. Karraker kindly consented to take charge of the boys’ tennis tournament. About two dozen boys entered the tournament. These were eliminated, few at a time, until Smith, Dale, Baum, and Gelwick were left. Addison Dale and Eugene Baum played the finals, and Baum won the championship by a score of 6-0, 6-3, 6-3. All of the same candidates were scheduled for doubles. In the finals, Percy Smith and Eugene Baum defeated Flovd Thompson and Addison Dale by the score of 6-4, 6-4, and 9-7. THE GIRLS’ TENNIS T )URNAMENT. In the fall of 1919, an announcement was made for the meeting of all girls interested in tennis. About eighty girls attended the meeting. Miss Crissey took charge. She made a schedule of the games. The tournament was on! Some games were forfeited, but for the most part, every girl was trying for the finals. Three weeks were necessary to eliminate the girls to four players; Mildred Stewart, Mildred Hannum, Frances McIntyre, and Jane Ilixon. Mildred Stewart and Jane Ilixon were scheduled. Mildred Stewart is a consistent, watchful player,but Jane with a few of her brilliant dashes soon won two sets out of three. Mildred Hannum and Frances McIntyre were scheduled. Mildred with her lithe movements was always “there” in returning the ball, hut Frances with her speed and durability secured the first two sets. The girls’ tennis championship was between Frances McIntyre and Jane Ilixon. •Jane is a tall, slender girl with brilliant, fast plays, hut a touch of weakness as the game goes on. Frances is a small, quick girl. She is very conservative, and ever observant of her opponent’s plays. The two clashed on a Monday evening in October. These were the final games of the tournament. First, a dash here, then dash there, then a swift serve; they were always on the move. The first set was won by Jane. It was time for the second set; the girls were ready for a hard contest. The games tied 3-3; then 4-4. Jane made two supreme efforts and the second set was over. The championship went to Jane. Jane and Mac shook hands, laughed, and both agreed they had enjoyed the evening. Jane has moved away, so Frances is the champion girl tennis player of our school. Page Fifty-five THE After such a favorable football season from the athletic standpoint, we could not have asked for a much better basketball season. Everything went well and the team certainly deserves a great deal of credit from all who saw them play. They possessed lighting qualities that seemed to raise them out of defeat time after time. The best example of this was in the district tournament in the Urbana game. The score was against them, the crowd was against them, but they finally finished ahead. The misfortunes of the season were also numerous. The ineligibility of Freeman was a blow that surely stunned most of the basketball fans, lie was one of the mainstays of the team, and the principal man on whom the team was built. Then again there was the loss by the eight semester rule of “Doc” Williamson, a forward, and written up as last year’s “fastest floor man,” Don Schoolcraft, the “stonewall” of Danville’s basketball team and “Bill” Collignon, who had a bright future in basketball history. “Curly” Wilson became ill in the middle of the season and was forced to quit the game. The sickness that prevented Thompson and Dice from playing in the County Tournament also kept us from taking the tournament of the county with ease. The men who were left were willing to fight and always seemed to come out on top. The greatest of all misfortunes was the sickness of our coach, Mr. Wakeley, just as the boys left for the district tournament. They played the whole tournament without their usual coach and certainly deserve credit for the splendid manner in which they showed up. Thanks is due Mr. Baer and Mr. Bailey of the Y. M. C. A. for the help given the team while at Urbana without Mr. Wakeley’s charge. Page Fifty-six Standing. left to right—Vi. Christy, E. Neff, . Skadden. Kneeling, left to right—L. Son, A.

Their team was a very easy prey for Danville, as we had no trouble in winning the game by a score of 51—19. Armstrong gained many of their points by free throws, caused by Danville’s fouling. The game was comparatively slow as this was Danville’s first game; but they soon were whipped into shape and certainly made up for it in the remainder of the season. Danville’s rooters were all out and going just as strong as the team. CHRISMAN-DANVILLE. Danville was escorted to Chrisman on January 16 by Mr. Wakeley where his five met the first defeat. Chrisman had a good team and all her men were large. Danville started as if they were going to take them off their feet, but Chrisman soon made up the loss they had on them. Danville fought hard and didn’t give up. The first half ended 10-11 in Chrisman’s favor; and they me back strong in the second half. The game was somewhat rough but very fast. Danville certainly enjoyed their wait for the train, especially in the little restaurant on the square. The score of the game ended 24—11 in Chrisman’s favor. CIIAMPAIGN-DANVILLE. Champaign’s basketball team came to Danville on January 23 and was given what we call one of her grand surprises. Danville beat Champaign by a score of 23—13, a feat that the people around Danville thought was impossible. Champaign’s team, we must acknowledge, was not going as well as it should, but nevertheless we beat them and certainly showed them we were not asleep. The game was a snappy one from start to finish, some real basketball being shown in that game. Danville overcame her loss in the second half and ended the game with the 23 points of the total score. This is the first time Danville has beat Champaign for a long time; but the tide has surely turned. Thompson showed up well in the game. ARMSTRONG-DANVIIJ E. The return game with Armstrong was played January 30 at Armstrong. The bacon was as easily taken as it was the lirst time, although the score was not as large as it was at Danville. The floor liad some disadvantages, but the Armstrong boys just could not stop the roll of the “old pill.” The final whistle blew when the scoreboard read 33—6 in Danville’s favor. The trip was made by Danville in cars and was some “ride.” The boys all “enjoyed it fully.” W EST LA FA Y ETTE-I) A WILL E. On February 6, Danville met West Lafayette High School on the “Y” floor, and one of the best basketball games of the season was played. Danville had, in the game, practically a new team, as she lost four of her best men in the previous week, namely, “Zickie” Freeman (Capt.), “Doc” Williamson, “Don” Schoolcraft, and “Bill” Collignon. New faces appeared in this game and they kept the old name still on top. “Curly” Wilson, “Les” Son and “Bob” 1 (annum played, showing some real pep. The final score was 26—22. The tie of 22 was broken by Thompson in the last two minutes by his two baskets. URBANA-DANVILLE. On February 13, the Danville team went to Urbana accompanied by a special carload of rooters, where they met a defeat. The boys surely put up a stiff fight, but were unable to hit the basket a sufficient number of times to overcome the lead gained by Urbana. The game ended 27—17 in Urbana’s favor. Son got four baskets in this game, besides doing some other good playing. Every member of the team did his best and “fell fighting” as we say. Urbana has a good floor, and the men were unusually fast on it. They also had a forward that was by no means slow. W EST VILLE-D AN VILLE. On the night of February 20, Danville went to Westville and staged one of the hardest fought games of the season. A large crowd accompanied the team and they surely did some yelling. The score was far in Westville’s favor at the end of the first half. Danville came hack strong and tied the score which remained as a tie till the end of the game. Just as the final whistle blew, a foul was called on Son of Danville, and Westville had a free throw coming. The score was 12—12. Westville missed the foul and five minutes overtime was played in which Danville got the lead. The final score was 17—14. URBANA-DANVILLE Danville met Urbana the second time in the season on our floor, February 27. They turned the tables on that team. We were defeated at Urbana by a score'of 27—17; but Danville simply walked away with them here to a tune of 22—8. The game at no time was dangerous, and the boys had it well in hand. The Urbana paper came out the next week saying that the defeat Urbana received over here was nothing, and that Danville would fall before Urbana in the district tournament. As we see it, we “sorta’ fooled ’em” again. WEST LA FA Y ETTE-I) AN VILLE. February 28 witnessed another victory for our opponents, who were West Lafayette. They were playing fast basketball. They ran the score up to 34 to Danville’s 12. Danville had played a game on the Friday night preceding this game, which was played on Saturday. They were tired and seemed unable to meet this team. However they made a good fight and lost to a better team. Page Fifty-nine THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT. March 4, 5, C , 1920, saw the Danville High School basketball team put up one of the stiffest fights for the district championship that has ever been fought. Too much credit cannot be given the members of the team that went to Urbana and participated in the tournament. They met Donavan on Thursday afternoon, March 4, and easily defeated them 40—18. On Friday morning they defeated Urbana High School 28—18, overcoming a great loss in the first half. That evening they easily defeated Tuscola 48—12. at- seka was met Saturday afternoon and defeated by a score of 24—17. This game put Danville in the finals against Champaign. Danville playing her same team all the way through had been practically worn out, and they fell before Champaign from lack of strength hy a score of 56—14. THE COUNTY TOURNAMENT The Vermilion County Tournament was held March 12, 13, 1920, at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Twelve teams from all parts of the county took part. Danville played their first game Friday night at 8 o’clock, easily winning from Ridgefarm by a score of 50—11. The game was at no time close, Danville playing fast basketball. The next game of Danville’s was played Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, when a game was won from West-ville. Westville was a strong contender in the tournament and really intended winning, but hit the “old wall” when she met Danville. The Westville game put Danville in the finals against Iloopeston, a team that showed up well at 8:30 p. m. Saturday. This game was very slow. An easy victory decided the game and tournament for Danville. This is the second tournament in succession that Danville has won. Who’s Who in Basketball There were four men on the team who were eligible until February. Three of these became ineligible through the eight-semester rule, and one on account of failure to carry the required amount of work. The loss of all four was keenly felt, but the loss of Gene Freeman was a blow from which it was hard to recover. However, the acquiring of Lester Son, Robert Hannum, Bud Smith, and Russell Tilton, began to make the outulook a little clearer. The four who served until February are: Gene Freeman (captain) until February, a natural player, quick to pick up suggestions, and good at any position. His strongest position was under the basket. “Doc” Williamson, forward, fastest man on the team, was rounding into his best shape when ruled out by the eight-semester rule. Don Schoolcraft, guard, able to stand hard knocks, and possessing a knack for knowing when to leave one man and get another. William Collignon, guard, one who started too late to play basketball to do himself justice, but who had the prospects of becoming a good guard. He was dependable to use as a utility for either guard. Those who went thru entire season: Floyd Thompson, center and forward, who acted as captain after the loss of Freeman; the most dependable score-maker on the team, not so brilliant except at times, but always working hard and playing for the team. Percy Smith, guard, who kept up his name of last year, “the fighting guard.” Always on the job and playing every game of the season. Acting captain during the county tournament. Page Sixty Wilbur Dice, guard, showed the best development of any man during the season, played consistently brilliant games, especially good on starting out-of-bound plays and getting the ball down the floor. “Bob” Leonard, forward, was not able to play his best ball on account of an illness throughout the season. A valuable man to use in a pinch and good on baskets. “Curly” Wilson, forward, good especially on defense. Forced to quit because of illness. Of those who started playing in February five showed up particularly well. They were: “Los” Sou, forward, by spurts the most brilliant player on the team. Inclined to he individual. Particularly good on offense. “Bob” llannum, center and forward, the “fightingest” offensive man on the team. Hard worker all the time, taking a great many hard knocks, but always coming up with a smile. “Bud” Smith, guard, having little experience but came out to help the team and fought hard all the time; showed up well in the county tournament. Russell Tilton, forward, inclined to be scrappy. Prospects for a good player. Plays fast and hard. John Funk, forward, second year on squad. Should be a valuable man next year. Of the players, four made the first two honorary teams of the district tournament at llrhana; Son and Dice making the first team, and Thompson and Percy Smith making the second team. Robert TIannum and Percy Smith made the all-county team. Besides these men, there were others who helped to make the season successful. They were “Bill” Christy, Busbong, Ska.Idea, Neff, Dale, Guy Freeman and Ziesing. OUR COACHES. Mr. Meyer, coach of football, was in all respects a man anyone would want to meet, lie lives in Wisconsin and is a graduate of the Whitewater Normal School. He came to Danville last fall and has gained the respect and friendship of many people of Danville, both students and citizens. On the football field Mr. Meyer worked hard, coaching, helping the fellows in all the ways lie knew how. He had the respect of each member of the squad and was one of Danville’s best coaches. Mr. Wakeley, basketball coach, is without doubt the best coach any school is able to obtain. He sacrificed many things to coach the basketball team. We all know the stuff Mr. Wakeley is made of, and the teams he turns out. Tie has the school at his heart, as we say, because it is his school, his alma mater. The 1919-1920 basketball team speaks for itself, as far as coaching is concerned. With ill luck throughout the season, he, as well as he could, made the best of things. We all appreciate a coach like Mr. Wakeley, because they are surely hard to find. THE TRACK COACH. Mr. Dean, the track coach, is a man of reputation, as we have seen by the results obtained last year with the little handful of material. This year, Mr. Meyer also assisted Mr. Dean, and as far as track coaches are concerned, Danville has two of the best on the map. Page Sixty-one Ttie Vermilion County Scholastic Track and Field Meet. ON May first, nineteen hundred and twenty, the annual track and field meet took place at Georgetown. In the morning, the scholastic contests were held. Ed. C. Leseh took first place in oratory and extempore. In the afternoon, the first event was the pole vault in which Danville was represented by Carl Woolsey and Floyd Thompson who took first and second places in the order named. The remainder of the contestants were eliminated at !) ft. (i in. Woolsey did not vault for height as he has another year to break the county record of 10 ft. 10 in. which was established in 1914 by George Haworth of Georgetown. The next event was the half mile run in which Danville had three men; namely, Fletcher Coleman, Howard Carson, and St. Clair Jump. This event was won by Orville Macklin of Georgetown who ran it. in 2 minutes, 18!A seconds. The third event was the 100 yard which was won by Clifford Hunley, who ran it in 10 2-5 seconds.

Simpson of Westville, distance thrown being 97 ft. 8 in. The 220 yd. low hurdles was next and was won by F. Dudley of estville who ran the event in 30 4-5 seconds. Eugene Baum took second place. The mile run was the event that really decided the meet for Georgetown. Iloustoun Clinch who represented Danville ran a good race but failed to place. The event was won by P. Bratton of Georgetown who ran it in 5 minutes and 10 seconds. The mile relay was the last event in which Danville was not represented. estville, Georgetown and Catlin ran and Georgetown won first place, in 1 minute, 43 3-5 seconds.

New members came in great numbers. No High School is complete without its literary society and Danville High School is not lacking; for of all the organizations in the school, there is none more helpful or more interesting than the Athedarian Society with its enthusiastic members. The purposes of the Athedarian Society are quite different from those of any other organization in the school. The Society has no contests with other schools as do the Wranglers and the athletic teams, but are quite exclusive, and entertain only themselves and I). II. S. with their performances. To see one fellow student declaring a passionate avowal of love for another is a great treat. This organization owes much of its success to the advisers, Miss Lewis, Miss Hardy, and Miss Manchester. —-Toe W. King. Page Sixty-five THE - 192 0 MEDLEY- Oke Coll ege Fraternity Pin BARE floor, tho time when it had known either paint or carpet was now a matter of ancient history; two chairs, remnants of bygone days, added their share of desolation to the generally dilapidated appearance of things; a spindly-legged table with a lamp of anterior date, a precarious looking bed of once-white iron made “comfortable” by sagging springs, straw mattress, coarse cotton sheets and pillow cases, an antique crazy quilt and muddy looking spread. In one corner stood a scarred wash-stand with its cracked appointments. At the head of the bed was a small window, much in need of Bon-Ami, curtainless, shadeless, thru which streamed the hot rays of an afternoon sun. It was here that Jack Cantly, late of Harvard, found himself one afternoon in early September. “The price?” with a sigh. It was the sixteenth time he had asked the same question that day. “Dollar fifty per week,” gruffly, for Mrs. Jones had little patience with a “fourth floor back.” “I’ll take it.” “Boarders must pay in advance,” in a tone of command. •Tack dropped his suit case to the floor and drew from his pocket a dollar bill and hinety cents in change, every bit of money be possessed. With a sinking heart he saw the fat fingers of Mrs. .Tones close over the bill and a fifty cent piece and leave the room. Ruefully lie jingled the remaining forty cents and then laughed shortly. Forty cents to pay for eating for three days. The dry-goods store at which he worked paid their employees on Saturday and this was only Thursday. Well, he could go without eating this evening and that would leave twenty cents for each of the following days. Walking to the window, he looked down on the grassless, treeless court hung with clothes lines now bare of washings. Tt was dusty and hot and forlorn looking. With a profound sigh. .Tack Cantly threw himself on the hard bed and closed his eyes. He lived over again the misfortunes of the past thrpoe weeks that had finally left him to this. He was a junior at Harvard, a football player, a fraternity man, and a “good pal.” At the opening of the term he had made the acquaintance of George Brockton, a new student at Harvard. Brockton was a winning fellow, and a warm friendship sprang up between the two. Then they had a dispute and their friendship cooled somewhat. Shortly after this a “painting party” enterod the class room of one of the unpopular professors, one with whom .Tack had had more or less trouble. Jack’s erstwhile friend was in the partv and in vain tried to urge Jack to join them. His refusal angered Brockton and he scoffinglv called Jack “model boy.” The next morning the work of the marauders was discovered. Fire raged among the faculty and immediate investigations were started. Jack Cantly was known to be the leader of a rather mischievous set of students and had been suspected. He declared his innocence and was believed by almost everyone. At length suspicion began t.o point on the really guilty persons and Brockton, very much frightened, flatly denied taking part in the affair. Then it was that he was asked: Paf]e Sixty-six TH E “Do you know anyone who was a participant?” With the temptation to thus avoid expulsion himself and with an evil desire to make trouble for Cantly, he admitted he knew who was the leader of the “rough house.” A little more cross questioning and he declared it was Jack Cantly. Again Jack was brought before the president and accused; again lie denied having any connection with it. “Cantly,” said the president, “I am afraid you are lying.” A hot flush of anger had suffused Jack’s face and the president took it for guilt, lie said no more but closed the interview. At chapel the next morning the blow had fallen. Jack could yet see the grave faces of the president and the deans as “prexv” rose and solemnly addressed the students. “As you all know, a most regrettable affair took place here the other night. I have conducted a rigid investigation and have at last discovered the leader of this disgraceful performance. I am stunned and most sorry that this man should conduct such an escapade. Tt is a painful duty I must perform this morning, and T very much dislike doing it publicly but feel it will be a lesson against any more such affairs. I find it necessary to expel from Harvard University, John L. Cantly.” For a few seconds one could have heard a pin drop, the silence was so great, then an excited hum broke out and grew in volume until the president was forced to call for order. At the president’s words, Jack Cantly had grown deathly pale, then a hot flush of anger dyed his face at the injustice of his conviction. Accusing eyes—pitying eyes, eyes of friends who believed him innocent—eyes of enemies who were willing to believe him guilty, were turned upon him and for a second his head drooped forward. Then he proudly raised it and defiantly faced all who accused. The chapel services had at length dragged thru and Jack made his escape to his room at the fraternity house. There had come the second blow. The mail had arrived and with it, a letter from Mr. Cantly. Jack’s work had not been up to standard for some time and Mr. Cantly, self-made, impulsive, but for all, kind hearted man, in order to make forceful his desire for Jack to succeed, had sent him a letter “raking him over the coals” for his lack of energy. The letter had been written with the best of intentions; in fact Mr. Cantly had chuckled over its unusual sternness. But to Jack in his present state of mind it was the last straw. “Now, John,” Mr. Cantly had written, “this nonsense has got to stop. You will either get down and study or you will come home and go to work in the factory. Not a soft job in the office where you will be known as the president’s son, but a position in the factory proper; one in the pursuit of which you will wear overalls and come home at night dead tired. By way of a reminder of this I have cut your allowance for this month down to $100 (and that is way too much for you to spend.) That settled it. He would not go home and tell his father he was expelled no matter if the expulsion was unjust. That night a sympathetic group of fraternity brothers had seen .Tack Cantly hoard a train bound for a small town in New York State instead of for Chicago, his home. They all promised to investigate the matter and find the real culprit; and he was told if ever in need of assistance of any kind to call upon the “frat” fellows and they would be his right hand men. Page Sixty-seven THE- In the following weeks lie had drifted to New York City. A handsome appearing fellow, a good talker and dresser, it seemed work would lie easy to obtain; but when references were asked for, lie met his doom. He did not wish his parents to know where he was and if he asked reference from anyone in Chicago his father would learn of his whereabouts. He knew no one in New York save the father of Georgianna Hartford, who for (he past few summers had been a student at the Chicago Art Institute. Something kept him from asking Mr. Hartford for references, he could not tell exactly what; but even then his parents would learn where he was, for of course, Georgianna would write his sister all about it. References from the university were out of the question after what had occurred; and so, at length, he was compelled to accept a temporary position as clerk in a downtown department store. Jack opened his eyes; it was dark; he must have fallen asleep. Lighting the smoky oil lamp, he unpacked his suit case and put its contents away in the dusty drawers of the stand. An hour later he climbed into the sagging bed and tried to forget the pangs his healthy young appetite suffered for lack of supper. Saturday morning found the A. B. C. Department Store Co. busy with customers. Jack Cantlv had breakfasted that morning on a cup of muddy coffee and his spirits were not of the best when eleven o’clock came around and found him still trying to sell a particular woman some white lawn material which she had begun to look at at a quarter after ten. “You are sure this is the best to be had?” “Yes, madame.” “Humph! looks pretty cheap to me for the price you ask.” “So you have said before.” “What! look here young man, don’t you get impudent with me, I won’t stand for it. I take it you are here to be obliging, not impudent.” “Evidently!” with ironical emphasis. The customer’s face grew livid and she threw down the material she held and majestically stalked away. “Say, if I had to live with a crank like that I’d shoot myself,” laughed Jack to one of his fellow clerks. “She is the floor-walker’s wife.” “The deuce she is! Well, no wonder he goes around looking like he had a bad taste in his mouth.” “Although she deserved all you gave her I wish you hadn’t said what you did. She is liable to make trouble.” “Let’s hope not, I spent mv last dime this morning.” But at eleven-thirty, Jack Cantlv was called to the manager’s ollice. “You are Cantlv, assistant clerk in dress goods?” “Yes, sir.” “Hum. You waited on Mrs. Tuttle this morning?” “I believe I did, sir.” “Hum—m. She reports you were impudent. How was that?” Page Sixty-eight I TiT E 1920 “I did not mean to offend tier, but I was exasperated.” “Exasperated! Is that the way for an assistant clerk to feel?” “I don’t know, but nevertheless, it was the way I felt. Three-quarters of an hour trying to sell her two yards of white lawn !” The manager bit his lip and turned bis twinkling eyes away. “Cantly,” lie said abruptly, “why are you clerking in this store?” “Why—why because you hired me!” “Yes, hut why did you ask for a position? You don’t look in need of a seven-dollar-a-week job. What’s wrong with you?” “I’m broke.” The manager laughed this time. “But surely you could get a lietter paying position.” “Not without references-----” .lack stopped hastily, realizing his mistake. “References! And you cannot furnish references?” glancing suspiciously at the well-dressed young man before him. “No sir,” defiantly. “Is Cantly your real name?” “It is, sh ” “Hum, where do you live?” “On—er on----------Street.” “Humph! Slum district!” Again he eyed the trim figure of well-dressed Jack Cantly. “I believe you were not at the store last Thursday. Where were you?” “I—I was hunting a new rooming-house.” “Asked to get out?” “No, sir, my former room was too expensive for seven dollars a week.” “Oh! Never happened to pay a visit to the rogue’s gallery, did you?” “You have no right to make such accusations. I swear to you I’m straight!” cried Jack angrily. “But nevertheless, my boy, it looks suspicious. You are dressed like the son of a millionaire, live in the slums, talk like a college graduate and work for seven dollars a week. You may be all right, but 1 can’t take any chances on what looks like a silk-gloved crook. We will have to dispense with your services, Mr. Cantly.” “Sir, I—I—” “That is final, Cantly. Draw your pay and leave this noon,” and the manager turned to his desk without another word. With a sinking heart and hurt pride, Jack Cantly left the manager’s office and went to draw his money. With the seven dollars in his pocket, he felt much better, and went immediately to a dairy lunch room. A hot dinner made his courage take another leap, and when he left the restaurant lie was actually whistling. “But no more department stores for mine,” he mused. “Me for some real work,” and he laughed as he remembered his father’s letter. “Maybe dad is right; probably what I need is menial labor.” Page Sixty-nine TH E I 920 Monday morning found him in a pair of overalls and a flannel shirt, his English-cut shoes looking strangely out of place with the rest of his apparel. At five o ’clock he was on his way to a glass factory. At six he was at his post as laborer, doing whatever he was told. It was a hard day; he made many blunders, but his ready wit made the men like him for all his ignorance as to any part of glass blowing. At six in the evening he came back to his boarding-house, tired, dirty, hungry, in the doorway, he found a ragged little urchin with torn dress, tear-stained face, and sticky hands, Mrs. Jones’ only daughter, the drudge of the household. Sadly neglected and buffeted around, she was an eleven-year-old bunch of wretchedness. “Tears, Sadie?” That’s a fine thing for a big girl like you. What’s the trouble?” “I—I busted a bottle of beer that was for pop’s supper, an—and mom slapped me face and said 1 ain’t gonna git no supper!” the choking speech ended in a dismal wail. Jack’s heart went out in sympathy for this ill-used little girl, and he surged with indignation at the thought of the half-starved little thing going without her supper. “The cat—as if that loafer of hers didfi’t get drunk enough without her abusing this little child for breaking a bottle of his beer,” was what Jack thought as he said, “Now kiddie, don’t waste any more tears about that; you slip in and wash your face and hands and get your hat while I dress and we’ll go out for dinner.” “Oh mister! But mom--------” “Don’t worry about ‘mom’; just go ahead without telling her,” mentally reproving himself for teaching the child to be deceitful. But the pleasure Sadie got out of the dinner at a “restrunt” was worth the prick his conscience gave him. In wonder and delight, he watched her devour everything set before her. Her eyes bulged and a smile of ecstacy spread over her homely little face as the waitress set a dish of ice cream before her. “Oh, Mr. Cantly, ain’t this jest grand!” then her smile fading, “but I’m ’fraid you will have to live on bread and water the rest o’ the week to make up fer it; it must cost a heap.” “Oh, we have to have a little spree now and then, Sadie.” “Yea, pop gits on one every payday, only his ain’t a ’ristocratic one like our’n. He gits so much on board he tears things loose ’round home. Last time he busted the legs off’n mom’s parlor table.” Jack choked back a laugh at this remark from the worldly child of the slums. “Sadie, I wouldn’t talk that way if I were you. You never heard a lady talk like that, did you?” “Mom does, only goes it a little harder. Ain’t mom a lady?” “Well—hardly, Sadie. A lady is a very wonderful being.” “I reckon the women that do settlemint work is ladies; they always talk awfully stylish like.” “Yes, possibly they are, Sadie.” Sadie’s eyes grew thoughtful. “Do you reckon I kin ever be a lady? Pop drinks so much I guess I will never get cash enough to move away from-----------Street, so I s’pose I’ll never be a lady.” “It isn’t necessary to live out of poverty, Sadie. If you always do what you think Page Seventy THE- is right and act and talk in a way you feel is the best you know how, you can be a lady and live in a garret. ’ ’ “Kin I? Oh! Kin I? Then I’m gonna try! Will you help me?” “You bet I will!” • •• •• Time elapsed and Jack was still in the factory. The heavy labor began to tell on his strength. Ilis face became thin and haggard, and his eyes lost their brightness. •Throughout the slum district a fall attack of typhoid fever was raging. One day, at the factory, Jack was carrying heavy planks for the building of a new platform. His fellow-workmen noticed him grow white about the lips, and stagger under the weight of a plank he was carrying. He lifted it to his shoulder, then tottered and fell, the plank just missing his body as it clattered to the ground. He was revived and the foreman sent another man to help him home. With an exhausted sigh, he undressed and climbed into the hard bed, not to leave it again for many days. That evening, Mrs. Jones called in a doctor who pronounced Jack’s illness a severe case of typhoid. Mrs. Jones raved and protested, but the doctor insisted that Cantly could not be moved, that it would mean certain death at such a time. For two weeks the fever raged, burning up Jack’s strength and leaving him too weak to even sit up. In his delirium he relived again and again incidents from his life at Harvard. The doctor listened and wondered; he could not conceive that a Harvard man would be living in the slums of New York. When the fever left, the doctor’s calls and the infrequent visits of the community nurse ceased, but Jack’s strength did not return. Day after day he lay in the stuffy little room with the hot sun pouring in the cur-taiuless window, the heat making his poor head throb with pain. At night, tossing, tossing, he prayed for sleep to come. Through it all, little Sadie remained his friend. She had not forgotten the wonderful dinner ‘Mr. Jack’had given her. Once a day she crept up to his room with some offering of food or a glass of fresh water to cool his parched throat. Stoically she bore the whippings her mother inflicted upon her for carrying things from the pantry to the sick man. Jack’s board was three weeks over due and still he was in bed. Mrs. Jones insisted that he should be put out but Sadie pleaded so beseechingly that even Mrs. Jones’ sympathies were aroused. But at length the end of her endurance was reached, and although Sadie clung to her skirts, she puffingly climbed the four flights of stairs and knocked on the door of Jack Cantly’s room. “Come in,” in a colorless tone. Jack was much surprised to see the stout figure of his landlady appear in the doorway. “Mr. Cantly, your board is three weeks over due and I ain’t gonna wait any longer fer it,” she announced abruptly. “I know it, Mrs. Jones. It has been worrying me all this week, but I don’t seem to be able to get up enough energy to get out of bed. I gave you all the money I had three weeks ago. I’m sorry; but if you will wait another week, I think I will be back to work and will be able to settle with you. ” Page Seventy-one “Well,” whiningly, “I need the money purty bad, and 1 don’t see how I kin let it go any longer, i let you stay here out o’ kindness, but I gotta have the money fer it.” “I appreciate that, Mrs. Jones, but I haven’t got the money to pay you. I’ll try to get up tomorrow.” “I might of knowed a feller so dressed up as you were an’ a rentin’ a fourth floor back wan’t no good!” and Mrs. Jones banged the door after her as she left the room. Ten minutes later Sadie crept softly into her idol’s room and found him, face toward the wall, lingers nervously plucking the wrinkled and grimy spread. “Mr. Jack.” “Sadie? How are you, pet?” and a smile lit up his white face. “I tried to keep mam—I mean mother—from coinin’ up here but she wouldn’t listen to me. Ain’t—isn’t there somethin’ I kin do for you?” “Yes, if you will. Bring me that little red leather case on the washstand, please.” She did so, then, as he opened it her eyes bulged. “Joolry!” she exclaimed. Jack took from the case a handsome seal ring and turned it in his fingers. “Sadie, 1 want you to take this to the pawn shop around the corner. Tell the man that the owner will not pawn it for less than six dollars. Be sure you don’t let him talk you into taking less. ’ ’ “Yes, sir, but kin I ask a question? What is that jooled pin for?” Jack picked up the article in question. “That is my fraternity pin, Sadie, a pin that shows I am a member of one of the best Harvard societies.” As he spoke a far away light came into his eyes. He was remembering the promise of his fraternity brothers to give him assistance if ever he should need it. That would be an easy solution to his difficulties, but pride made him silent. “Sadie, you might pawn this instead of the ring. 1 hate to see it go but it will bring more. Don’t take less than ten dollars for it.” Sadie put the pin in her pocket and said good-bye. As Jack saw the pin disappear a hard expression came over his face and he smiled bitterly. But Miss Sadie did not go to the pawn shop. She turned her footsteps toward another part of town. After an hour’s steady trudging she stopped before a magnificent residence on one of New York’s most fashionable streets. Her mind was made up. She would appeal to one she knew to be her friend. Five minutes later the butler issued a frightened but resolute little girl into a luxurious room where sat Georgianna Hartford, who for one brief winter had done settlement work in the district whence Sadie came. “Why, Sadie Jones! how delightful!” “Yes’m, I— 1 came to see you on business, Miss Hartford.” “On business? More delightful! What is it, Sadie ? sit down and tell me about it.” It s this ay, Miss. About a month ago the grandest gentleman came to room at our house.” (Continued on Page One Hundred Seventeen) Page Seventy-two REVENGE! I. High on the peak of a mountain, Unrobed and alone, stood an Inca With face upturned to the heavens, And arms stretched out to the sunset. Slowly he lifted them upward And, poised like a red moulten statue, Spoke in behalf of his people With gutturals wierd and immortal; Spoke to the God of the Four Winds To come to the aid of his people. II. Out of the dusk of the evening Enshrouded in gloom came the answer, “Woe, woe! is the fate of thy people, For even thy gods cannot serve thee— But harken! () Prince of the Incas, Thy weapon hangs yet at thy girdle; Go, by the code of thy fathers And draw sweet revenge from the Spaniards. Go, ere the dawn has yet broken, And punish these doers of evil.” III. Down the steep slope of the mountain, And out o’er the broad rolling prairie Toward the white tents of the Spaniards, Soft strode the young Indian chieftan. Sadly the moon climbed the Heavens, And covered the land with long shadows, Looked o’er the ridge at the warrior Who hurried along to his duty; Looked thru the mists of the evening And added cold light to the landscape. Page Seventy-three I IV. Meanwhile the bearded old Captain Concocted his plans for the morrow, Discussed them at length with his eldest And laughed at the fate of the Incas. JBut soon the young man became wearied And sought the cool winds of the midnight, Crept down the path to the river To bathe his hot hands in its waters; Crept, full of evil forbodings, Along the dark path to the river. V. Suddenly out of that blackness Two shadows beheld one other, Remained for a moment in silence— Then gathered their strength for the struggle. Swiftly they hurled themselves forward And strove for positions of vantage, Blended in one mighty effort— Then parted directly, forever; Blended, to pay with their life blood The debts incurred by their fathers. VL Then the victorious warrior Lamented his fate in a ballad: “O Chec-o-kree, God of the Four Winds, Thy son has fulfilled thy commandment; But even as he has succeeded His body is wounded and bleeding; Take him, O God of the Incas, For he has no home in the forest; Take, also, the fearless young Spaniard, And show him the Land of Good Hunting.” —By RUSSELL M. DUFFIN. Page Seventy-four V. Arter L. Chapman H. North S. Hay The Girls’ Student Club DANVILLE High School without a Girls’ Club would be for the girls like a land without sunshine. Only those lonely girls who have received the friendly hand the Girls’ Club stretches out to them can fully appreciate that the Club is just, that sunshine where all else is strange and h nely. More than ever has this feeling of being a part of the school been abandoned this year. The Club has been divided into groups so arranged that old girls meet new. Each group presents a programme and every girl finds herself not a mere “looker-on” but a cog in the wheel. The Club has progressed so well in the past year that the girls have seen fit to choose a Girl’s Club pin and a very good looking pin it is. Surely any girl should be proud to wear the pin of an organization that has gladdened the hearts of so many poor little urchins at Christmas time, has supported a French war orphan, boosted the Y. Y. C. A., held out a friendly hand to all girls and given its loyalty to the support of D. H. S. March on! Girls’ Club. We are proud of you. Page Seventy-five —C. K. The Maroon and IDhite -■ «H1HTEEN years ago there appeared in 1). H. S. a little paper called the “Maroon 1 and White.” It was of modest dimensions, and, if we judge by size alone, may he said to have been relatively unimportant. But, nevertheless, it was a beginning, and anything “once begun is half done.” Since that time it has grown steadily until today it is one of the most important branches of the school’s work. During the school year of 1919-1920, the size of the book has at no time dropped below forty pages per issue and has reached the peak of forty-eight pages. When the staff took their places last year they purposed definitely to make this volume of the Maroon and White the “biggest and best” yet published. As to its being the biggest there is no doubt, and as to its being the best only the issues themselves can show. At any rate the staff may say that it represents their best abilities and presents their best workmanship. During the school year there have been several changes made in the personnel. Several good workers have been lost but in each case their places have been filled and the good work has “gone on.” At present the list is as follows: Editor________________ Business Manager______ Circulation Manager___ Assistant Editor______ Ass’t Business Mgr____ Literary Editor_______ Athletic Editor_______ News Editor___________ Asst.

Best wishes, then, to those who have assisted in the past, to those who will publish the Maroon and White in years to come, and to a greater and more glorious 1). II. S. —R. DUFFIN, Editor. Page Seventy-six 4 N. Faris W. Stcllner V. Arter V. O’Connell R. Acton TKe Science Club AFTER all absence of tlirt;e years, a Science Club lias again been started in Danville Iligli School. A few of the energetic science advocates of the school aroused the enthusiasm and got permission to organize such a club with the science teachers of the school as advisers. Owing to the necessity of drawing up a constitution, and organizing, the club was not in working order until late in the semestetr. The object of the organization is to have weekly meetings and industrial hikes. The Danville Power Plant and the Western Brick Company have been inspected under competent guides, and it is planned to visit the Headley Glass Company, Hegeler’s Smelting Works and other industrial concerns. A number of good weekly programs have been held. Plans are being made to buy and set up a radio equipment as soon as sufficient funds are available. The Science Club is an associate member of the Illinois Academy of Science which held a meeting in Danville last February 20 and 21. Page Seventy-eight Tke Orchestra •f N the fall of 1919, Mr. Baer called a meeting of all in the school who were interested in orchestra work. The Danville School Board had elected Mr. V. J. Grabel, a very competent leader along musical lines, as director of the orchestra. There was a large attendance at this meeting at which time plans were made for a successful orchestra. The orchestra was handicapped during the coal shortage because the lights were turned oil at four o’clock and they practiced on Tuesdays from four to five. In spite � t this, the orchestra has proved successful as was shown when they played at the Eighth tirade reception on January 1(5, 1920. 1 he orchestra is composed of seventeen members, including five first violins, three 0 ’ ftato violins, two second violins, clarinet, two first cornets, one second cornet, flute, cello and piano accompanist. It. is expected that the orchestra will render several musical selections during Commencement week. Standing, li ft to right—L. Friedman, V. Goodwin, R. Silberberg, R. CundifT. Mr. Grabel. F.

This year the girls have been exceedingly faithful in attending practice. Under the ski 1 full guidance of the director, the girls have become intensely interested in the work. They have often been asked to help on programs outside of school work, and again and again they have made a favorable impression. Their willingness to help and be of service is very evident in tin club’s work. The instructor, Mrs. Will Shaffer, has shown that a competent director may accomplish wonders with a group of girls. Mrs. Shaffer has the confidence of the girls and they appreciate her friendship. When we hear the club sing as one person, filling the corridors with sweet music, we think of Milton— “The melting voice through mazes running, Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony Page Eighty MEDLEY- The Treasury Staff, which was established by A. L. Loring in 1914 has been a great success. The staff is composed of students in the commercial course, who handle the incoming and outgoing money of the various school organizations. The ticket sales for athletic contests and other school activities, the receipt of dues of the societies and the payment of bills incurred during the year are a few of the things cared for by the staff members. The staff is headed by an auditor, a faculty member from the commercial department. Much credit is due Mr. Meyer, auditor this year, for his work in handling the school finances and for bis work as auditor. The members of the staff should be commended for their good work and interest, riiis work takes up much of their spare time; and nothing is received bv them but ollice experience. The members for 1919-1920 are: Auditor - - - - E. E. Meyer Treasurer - Helen E. North Assistant Treas. - - Robert ITackett Assistant Treas. - - Charles Buchele Page Eighty-one R. Hackett H. North Mr. Mover The Treasury Staff The Boys’ Glee Club Danville High School lias not had a Boys’ Glee Club for several years, as the boys have failed to take interest in such an organization. But this year, under the direction of Mr. H. Y. Mercer, a glee club Avas again organized, which held the interest of a comparatively large number of boys. A very entertaining assembly program was given by the Boys’ Glee Club one Thursday morning. The Club also appeared at one of the Masonic entertainments. A double quartet, composed of members of the Glee Club, has also been successful. Parties The parties held this year have been unusually successful. The members of the classes have co-operated splendidly with the chairmen of their social committees. The parties have been planned and carried out very efficiently, and no “wall flowers” Avere discovered at any of the parties. The Hallowe’en season ushered in the first parties of the year. The Seniors led out with a big masquerade at the beautiful camp home at the “Y of the Woods.” There Avere gorgeous costumes and plain ones. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis proved the stars of the evening, having everyone baffled as to their identity. A weenie and marshmallow roast was enjoyed over the big grate fire. The Juniors held a weenie roast the same evening at the new dam. Mr. Wakeley acted as chaperon. The Sophomores also enjoyed the festive season by a hayrack party. Miss Harry and Mr. Meyer served as chaperons. Patron’s Part}? The greatest party of the year Avas given by the Seniors in the Washington Auditorium, February 13, 1920. This was in the nature of a Patron’s Party. The Seniors, at this time, invited their fathers and mothers to the party. This is the first time that a Patron’s Party has eA'er been giA'en in D. H. S. It proved to be a success in every Avay, and it is being planned to make the Patron’s Party an annual eA ent. The first part of the evening Avas spent in getting acquainted. An entertainment was given, composed of tA o numbers by the Girls’ Glee Club, an address of welcome by Mr. Handle, and a short talk by Edward Lesch, the class president. The grand march was made, led by Miss Sided and Edward Lesch. After the inarch an informal dance Avas enjoyed. Near the close of the evening, refreshments in keeping Avith the Valentine season, Avere served. Ckristmas Program The annual Home-Coming and Christmas program Avas held in the I). IT. S. Assembly Tuesday afternoon, December 23, 1919. The Home-Coming was not as joyful an event this year as in former years because of the death of our beloved member, Lowell Goul-ding. The address of Avelcome Avas delivered by EdAvard Lesch, president of the Senior Page Eighty-two I THE Class, and the reply for the alumni was delivered by Guy Burris, of the Class of ’19. The Girls’ Glee Club rendered several selections. Mr. Meyer presented the “D’s” to the football men. Mr. Baer presented the “D” earned by Lowell Goulding. The school paid a two-minute silent tribute to his memory. A large floral “D” was presented to Holland Williamson, Lowell’s closest friend. It was later taken out and placed on his grave. The Honor Roll It is the boast of Danville High School that just as good students can be produced here as in the newest and best equipped high schools throughout the land.

LeConte The Wrangl ers The rangiers Club of this school lias had a particularly enjoyable year, both in business and social activities. It was due to a plan adopted at the beginning of the school year that we were able to hold a large number of debates without fear of their becoming dry or tiresome. The spirit ot friendly rivalry brought about by the competition between the two sides produced some exceptionally interesting debates. I'he traditions ot the ranglers were uphold by our participation in the annual dual debate with Urbana High School. There is an old saying about “all work and no play----” Keeping this in mind, the Wranglers have had an unusually large number of social activities this year. Heretofore, there has been a large number of “outsiders” at our social meetings; but this year we have found that it is possible to have just as good a time with “just Wranglers” present. This fosters a feeling of co-operation and pride in the club, which is very desirable. Altogether, the club has been strengthened and bettered in the past year and we no longer must look forward to the time when the Wranglers Club will be a most powerful factor of the school life. —VERNON W. BROWN. Page Eighty-six Literar and Musical Activities Danville High School lias been fortunate in having two live literary clubs. One of these is the Wranglers, who devote their time to debating and the practice of public speaking each Monday evening. It is indeed a pleasure to listen to the interesting debates and discussions they carry on. The advisers of the club ably do their part in showing the speakers their strong and weak points. The Wranglers have produced some excellent speakers in the past, and they are still turning out successful orators. The training a Wrangler receives provides him with that ease in speaking before the public which so few people ever have. The other live literary club, the Athedarians, devote their attention to drama. A great deal of good may be obtained by any person appearing in a play given by the Athedarians. In declamation this year there were only four contestants. In a school of eight hundred there should be at least twenty-five candidates. Declamation will do everyone a great deal of good, whether he places in a contest or not. The four speakers this year were very good. Each seemed to know his subject matter, and it was difficult to decide who should head the list. Beulah Radebaugh, the one chosen to compete in the district contest, is a good representative. In the district contest, she won first place. In the county contest, we are expecting her to uphold the standards of Danville High School. There were .just three extempore speakers in the school contest. Although small in number, their ability is not to be outdone. In Edward Resell we have one of the finest speakers a school may produce. His ease and his choice of words are noticeable. His unconcern for trifles has lifted him far above the average speaker. Indeed, we may be proud to have “Ed” as our representative in the county contest.. In the district contest he was opposed by a girl from Oakwood Township High School. The girl gave a remarkably well-ordered speech, but Resell gave a ne’er-to-be-forgotten treatise on the famous Newberry Case. In the higher English courses it is required that each student write an oration. Many attain good results, and some of the results are masterpieces. Too much cannot be said of the wonderful training that this work gives to a student. This yeai , first place was given to Edward Resell’s oration. He handles his subjects in a well-ordered manner and his composition is smooth and well connected. “ Ed ” can not only write an oration, but, as has been shown in his extempore speaking, lie can deliver one. The Girls’ Glee Club, under the competent direction of Mrs. Will Shaffer, has been organized into an extremely well balanced semi-chorus. Their voices blend in such a way that one person seems to be singing. The girls are faithful in coming to practice, as the result of the district contest showed when Danville won first place over their rival. Danville always seems to be bested in the county contest by TToopeston, but this time we hope the old decision will pass away and Danville will hold first place. The extempore speaker, Edward Resell, and the speaker in declamation, Beulah Radebaugh, will go to Charleston. The Girls’ Glee Club will not get to go this year, but we hope that next year the semi-chorus will enjoy this trip. Page Eighty-seven R. Stephens F. Reariek' J. Pugh E. Leech Tke Affirmative Debating Team .That the affirmative team were masters of tlioii- subject in argument and presentation is the consensus of opinion. FRANCIS REARICK lias an enviable record of three years on tin debating teams. In 1918 and 1919 he debated at Lrbana; but this year 1). 11. S. was given an opportunity to hear him. The general verdict was such that his name is written high on the debating records. Direct, forceful, possessed of a remarkable voice, he gets genuine results. JOHN PUGH had an interscholastic record to make and he made it in a most conclusive fashion in the D.—U. debate. He spoke with vigor and distinctness and won the approval and interest of his audience by presenting to them a sound, well-worked-out argument, effectively delivered. EDWARD LESCH has demonstrated often and conclusively in many fields his ability as a speaker. As a debater his versatility was seen. To a logically developed argument, founded on a thorough knowledge of the subject, he added a polished, effective delivery. In a very convincing speech and rebuttal he set a high record for 1) H. S. debating- —RUTH SANDESON. Page Eighty-eight MEDLEY- The Negative Debating Team To have gained admiration and approval by presenting an excellent debate, even though the decision was lost, is greatly to the credit of the negative team. RUSSELL DUFFIN possesses the qualities of a real debater, as he has shown during his two seasons in debating. 11 is ability to meet the various sides of a question during the working out of the issue made him a corner-stone of the team. He has good presence, resourcefulness on rebuttal, and a clear method of presentation. ALFRED LeCONTE won the approval of his audience by his well-constructed, convincing argument. It was so logically developed and so effectively treated that his opponents left it, for the most part, untouched in rebuttal. II is earnestness and conviction carried conviction to others. VERNON BROWN proved to be exceptionally versatile and effective. Though participating for the first time in interscholastic debating, he knew what to say and how to say it. His power as an effective, pleasing speaker was never more decidedly shown than at Urbana. He won his laurels on Friday, January 23. M. Geddes R. Duffin A. LeConte V. Brown Page Eiglity-nine —RUTH SANDESON. TH E-1920 MEDLEY- THE DEBATE AT DANVILLE. Supporting the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved: that United States Armed Intervention Should be Applied and Maintained throughout Mexico until the Government has been Stabilized,” Danville defeated her long-time rival, Urbana, 3-0, on the night of January 23. _ ■ An enthusiastic audience of more than four hundred heard a fine debate on a subject of great present-day interest. The fight Urbana gave us was superb. Miss Adams, Lumsden and Hayes were speakers of which Urbana may well be proud. Urbana lost for three reasons. These were Rearick, Pugh and Lesch. To Rearick’s calm, decided argument and Pugh’s effective reasoning, “Ed” added his ability of convincing all doubters. The spirit between the schools was excellent, as was seen during the banquet at the Elks which followed. In the future, we hope to be as successful as in the past, and we know that with the same interest that has been shown, we will add many more victories to our score. -ROBERT STEPHENS. THE DEBATE AT URBANA. The Danville team which went to Urbana to support the negative side of the Mexican question did not win the decision; but they won laurels for themselves and for Danville High debating teams. From the beginning until the last word had been said on the last rebuttal, they were “on their toes” against the Urbana team—Josephine Bonner, Robert Woolbert and Frank Hutchins. The teams were well-matched, and it was a battle royal which “Rus,” “Al,” and “Brownie” waged. After the debate a banquet was given, much to the delight of all. The Urbana Debating Club had a distinguishing mark for the six debaters and the two alternates. Each wore a button-hole bouquet and looked quite festive indeed. Because of tin lateness of the hour toasts were not asked by the toast-master. J. MADISON GEDDES. THE COACHES. A consideration of the merits and demerits of a team, whether it deals in physical or mental contests, always leads to the coaches, for it is they who mould the teams and contribute greatly to the degree of success or failure in the outcome. Debating is no exception. In the dual debate held this year with I rbana no small amount of success was due to the consistent work of both Miss Manchester, who coached the home team, and Miss Kandeson, who went to I rbaila. Miss Manchester, although new in the school this season, undertook the work with a will, and carried it out to such good effect that we could only wish that she had been here long ago to do in the past what she did so well this year. Miss Sandeson is older in the work and has such a reputation as a debating coach that it is scarcely necessary to set forth merits which are so well known. She is a tireless worker, always ready and always willing to do anything m her power to bring honest success, and the results she gets out of sometimes “almost hopeless” material justifies her efforts.

Georgianna took it, then gave a startled exclamation. “Why—why this is a college fraternity pin!” “Yesm’, Mr. Jack said it showed lie was a member of the best society at Harvard.” “Mr. Jack? Sadie! Jack who?” Georgianna’s face had grown very white. “Cantly, Mr. Jack Cantly. You don’t know him do you?” “I—I, oh! Sadie, I think so but I can’t believe it! How long has he been here? What does he look like?” “He is tall and kinda thin with curly brown hair and brown eyes. He’s awful handsome!” “Sadie, I am going with you to see him; no—yes I shall!” and she rang for the butler and told him to order her electric. “I suppose I ought to have a chaperon, but if it is my Jack Cantly I don’t care if I do seem improper and if it isn’t he I won’t see him.” A half hour later Georgianna found herself at the door of a room in Mrs. Jones’ boarding house, longing yet dreading to know what she would learn when that door should be opened. “Don’t knock, Sadie, I—I want to see him before he sees me if possible.” Sadie quietly opened the door and they tiptoed in. In one glance Georgianna noticed the bareness of the room, the dreadful stuffiness. And then her eyes fell upon the thin white face on the solid pillow cover. Jack’s eyes were closed but instinctively lie felt some one’s presence and opened them to meet the eyes of the girl he thought the world of, Georgianna Hartford. For a second they looked at each other in silence, Georgianna’s face quivering with sobs she could scarcely suppress, Jack’s face hard with bitterness. “Oh, Jack! Jack! Don’t look at me that way,” cried Georgianna, crossing the room and seizing Jack’s hand. “How else could 1 look, under the circumstances. You, Georgianna, of all people to find me here, like this. Won’t you—go?” “Jack! I—I thought you—you—” “1 loved you? I do, that is why it hurts so.” “But, Jack, I don’t care how I found you, just so I have found you! Oh! you don’t know how I have worried.

They wrote me thinking I would know.” “How did you happen to find me?” “Sadie brought this to me,” extending the fraternity pin to Jack. You always wanted me to have it you know.” “But now I haven’t the right to ask you to wear it.—Sadie, I told you to take this to the pawn shop.” “Yes, sir, hut I knew you didn’t want to hock it, so I went to Miss Hartford; she used to do settlement, work and you said settlement workers was ladies and that a lady was a ‘most wonderful being,’ so I thought you would like it.” “Now, Jack, please don’t be stubborn. I’ll wear your frat pin if you’ll let me have my own way now. ’ ’ “But I can’t let you wear it. I haven’t a red cent, that is why I was pawning the pin.” “You can let me wear it, that is if you want to. Now just lie quiet and I’ll explain. You know everything better than I do up until the time you left Harvard. Then things began moving. Didn’t you think your fraternity brothers would make a kick when they knew you were innocent? Did you think your father would let things drift with you away, no one knew where, dear knows, what doing? Of course not! The frat fellows went to work to get at the root of affairs. They wrote your father telling him they believed you were absolutely innocent and asking his assistance in proving it. He was raving mad because you were convicted on such flimsy grounds. From what your sister wrote, he couldn’t get to Harvard fast enough. Yes, of course, he went and you can imagine the result—a general upheaval. The “fac” learned his views, in rather forceful statements on the question of hasty expulsion. He said a fellow who had enough mischief, (of course he didn’t consider a rough-house mischief—it was down right meanness —but pranks in general) who had enough mischief to get the faculty’s goat, (‘I am quoting your father’) had enough incentive to make a good business man. Then when it came to expelling an innocent man, that was too much for father! The president admitted he had been a trifle hasty, but of course things had looked pretty black. Prexy said he would be glad to reinstate you when you were found. In the meantime, the frat fellows had been pumping George Brockton who it seems had sworn you were guilty. At length, they worried the whole truth out of him. He was the instigator of the thing. Ever since, your fraternity, your family and—and your friends have been searching for you and I am the hero. I found you!” “It sounds just like dear old dad! but'—” “No ifs or buts about it; here is my plan: You will be taken to our home at once and your poor distracted mother notified of your whereabouts; then, when you get well and strong again you can go back to Harvard.” “It tempts me when I think of a comfortable home, but I can’t do it.” “Can’t never lived. Daddy can settle with Mrs. Jones and you can settle with daddy. No, I’ll not listen to any protest. I’ll go telephone home that the prodigal is found while you make preparations for your departure,” and Georgianna whisked out of the room.

When he had been assisted into the electric and was leaning back on the comfortable upholstering, the tears Sadie had been forcing back would come. “Remember, Sadie, what 1 told you about your mother. Always do the thing that is womanly and some day you’ll be a real lady. Miss Georgianna will look after you and don’t forget that ‘Mr. Jack’ is always your friend. You played fairy to me today, Sadie, and I’ll not forget it.” Then the car glided off and soon left the misery of the slums far behind; but one little girl knew that she had done well and her reward would come. Jack Cantly lay on a reclining chair among a bank of cushions while beside him sat Georgianna Hartford. On her dress glittered the fraternity emblem that had played such an important part in bringing about this happy state of affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Hartford had .just left the room for a walk in the garden and the two young people were alone. “I’ll never forget dad’s voice as I called him on long distance,” Jack laughed at the recollection. “He must have burst a blood vessel, the way he roared in the phone, and mother, poor, dear mother, how I have worried her. Georgianna, if it hadn’t been for you, 1 would still be in that stifiling room!” Georgianna smiled and fingered the fraternity pin. “Do you wish Sadie had put it into ‘hock’?” For answer, Jack closed his hand over hers and smiled into her sparkling eves.

Joe, surprised, saw a tree growing over the road, on a branch of which was a hornet’s nest. “As we go by, Rastus, hit that,” said Joe, pointing to the nest.

An old lady entering a fashionable restaurant chanced to be placed at a table where were seated a young gentleman and a stylishly dressed lady. She could not help overhearing the conversation between the two, who happened to be comparing the merits and demerits of their respective autos. “And what color is your body?” he asked. “Oh, a very pretty pink; and what color is your body?” “Mine is yellow with black stripes.” Hearing this, the old lady indignantly ax-ose and called the proprietor. “I wish to enter a protest,” she said, “against the improper conversation of these two young people.” “Why, what is the trouble?” “Well, I think things have come to a pretty pass when young folks will sit in public places and discuss the color of their bodies.” _______ Teacher: “Well, Sam, you were not present yesterday. Were you detained at home in consequence of the inclemency of the weather?” Sam: “Oh, no, sir; ’cause of the rain.” “Officer,” said a lady much above the usual avoirdupois, “could you see me across the sti-eet?” “Madam, I could see you half a block.” Lady: “That’s something I could never do—hit a harmless little bird.” Little Boy: “I can’t either.” A farmer once called his cow “Zephyr,” She seemed such an amiable liephyr.

Now, what part did you take in this disgraceful affair?” “The left leg, sir,” replied the undergraduate meekly. Teacher: “Don’t you know that punctuation means that you must pause?” Pauke: “An auto driver punctuated his tire in front of our house Sunday and he paused for half an hour.” Parental Neglect.

Chief Totem, while visiting a small western town, lost his pet dog. He rushed to the newspaper office and handed in an advertisement offering a reward of one hundred dollars for the return of his companion. Later Ik returned to the ollice and found a small boy there. “Where is the editor?” he asked. “Out.” “The assistant editor?” “Out.” “The reporter?” “Out.” “Where’s the printer?” “Out.” “Where on earth has the staff gone to?” he then asked. “All out looking for your dog,” replied the boy. Pat was disgusted with life. While roaming around looking for a .job, he stopped to watch some bricklayers. “I hope I die,” he moaned. Just then a loose brick fell and struck him on the head. “Please, God!” he exclaimed, “can’t you take a joke?” “You said this tooth had never been filled,” snapped the dentist. “How comes this piece of gold on the point of my instrument?” The patient gulped and swallowed. “That’s not from the tooth, doc,” he apologized. “That’s part of my back collar-button.” Jerry: “If a young boy is sent to the butcher shop with a nickel to buy five cents worth of liver, what does he get?” Ujawa: “He gets sent home for another nickel.” Page One Hundred-forty-one I HUos.

The other day a dairy company’s complaint clerk was called to the telephone. “This is Mrs. Maxin.” said a woman’s voice. “I want to know if your cows are contented. ’ ’ “Wh-a-at?” asked the amazed clerk. The woman repeated the question. “I see that your rivals advertise that their cows are contented,” said she. “I will be-gin to take their milk unless 1 am assured that your cows are all happy.” The clerk begged her to hold the phone a moment. Then he went away and gnawed a corner of his desk. When he returned to the phone lie said: “I’ve .just been looking up our books, madam, and I’m happy to say that we have not received a complaint from a single one of our cows.” Vaughn Donahue walked into the office of a large manufacturing establishment the other day and said, “Have you an opening for a bright, industrious Lone Scout?” “Yes,” growled the owner, who was against everything concerning boys, “and don’t slam it as you go out.” The Way it Was. “With these high prices,” said the customer to the grocer, “you must be making a lot of money.” “No,” replied the grocer, “I’m not making any more money, my customers merely owe me more.” Two Bits of Fun.
