Q XX. xo ze (jfiedley oczzzzzz o 0 MISS SANDESON to whose wise guidance and untiring assistance, we, the class of nineteen twenty-three, owe much of our success as a class. To her we humbly dedicate this issue of the “Medley” as an expression of our gratitude for the invaluable services which she has rendered to us during our Senior year.

Many sacred memories surround thy walls of lessons learned and battles won. Better than a marble shaft, to thy memory, are the living monuments of flesh and blood, honored and respected citizens who have received their training within thy time-honored walls. 4 nine New Danville High School The success or failure of our community for the next several decades lies with thee. Within thv doors, some of the future citizens of this country will receive their early training. Their training will largely determine what type of citizens they may become. 5 X§ Oc x £ 7ze (jf(edley X XX Q OldJHigh School and Annex X$ 0 - X (jViedley Oc„ Cx X Contents FACULTY_____________________________________ 7 CLASSES Seniors_______________________________ 15 Juniors________________________________40 Sophomores_____________________________42 “Freshmen______________________________45 ATHLETICS Football_______________________________51 Basketball_____________________________58 Track__________________________________64 Swimming____________________________ 69 CALENDAR____________________________________70 ORGANIZATIONS_______________________________77 JOKES______________________________________ 99 ADVERTISING_________________________________99 6 Qx jxx x he (jfCedley x _XM$ 0 Mr. G. P. Randle It seems strange indeed to think of him only as our superintendent. We rather regard him as a guide, counsellor, and friend. A guide with the watchword “Play up, play up, and play the game.” A counsellor whose help is that of a father. Many more words might be spoken in praise of this man but it can all be summed up in that one word that means so much—A Friend. Mr. G. C. Vance We seldom see him within our doors but we know he is interested in us just the same. Most of us have only been acquainted with him for a short time but he has already acquitted himself with honor and we are proud of our assistant superintendent. 7 X§KX- x yiie (jr iedley X XX X Mr. W. C. Baer, Principal Eulogies might be written of this man and still not do full justice to the subject. As our enrollment has advanced by leaps and bounds during the last few years, he has striven with all his might to preserve our two most cherished possessions, our school honor, and the “never say die” spirit. He is putting his time and energy into one of the best of investments—young people. May he never regret his investment. 8 X Oc xo y ie (yf[edley X ____________XX§K Mr. Wakele ) Whenever Danville High is in a contest, there you will find this man cheering the team on to victory. He can understand our qualms and fears because he once trod these floors as a student. WILLIAM B. BARTON. A.B. Northwestern University Harvard University MARY COPLEY. B.S.

It has been said that a human life is like a book, opened by the Spirit of Life and closed by the Spirit of Death. The chapters of that book are marked by the milestones of that life—the years which stand out from the rest as prominent and worthy of notice. We, the Seniors of the class of 1923, have passed another great milestone of our lives; we are ready to close another chapter of our books—to close, but not forget. But let us pause for a moment to consider what this chapter contains before we turn to the new life. In the fall of 1919 there entered the Danville High School another band of freshies, quite as green and unsophisticated as their predecessors. But green things advance rapidly, and the newcomers passed safely through the trials of algebra, only to find themselves surrounded by such a muddle of geometry as to make them reel in bewilderment. The last two years have proven all too short, but from those freshmen who entered in 1919 have come representatives in athletics, debating, oratory, dramatic art and scholarship who have left an indelible imprint upon the records of old D. H. S. And so we close this chapter of our lives—not with regret and grief, but with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. We have fought the good fight. We have lived our motto, “Success through Service.” 15 x xx— x £ 7zc tedley x XX Q Seniors JOHN AGAN COMMERCIAL COURSE “Happy-go-lucky, just school boy is he, Pleasant and friendly as he can be.” HELEN AHRENS COMMERCIAL COURSE “Who lent thee, maid, f «s meditative guise.” (•iris’ Club 1. 2, 3.

To the members of our class of 1924 it hardly seems three years since we entered the traditioned walls of Danville High School to gain knowledge. Even when we were freshmen, we had many hopes and ambitions, a great many of which we have attained in our present junior year. Our social activities this year have, indeed, been successful. Our members have been well represented in all branches of literary activities. The athletics of the school have been made better by the Class of 1924. The success of this year we hope will be ever greater during our senior year. —Lois Terry. 40 0 xX--------x £ Ae Medley x x x Junior Class Roll Anderson, Margaret Anderson, Harold Armstrong, Margaret Agan, Margaret Ashcraft, Claudia Baldwin, Donald Ball, Sylvia Bennett, Elizabeth Betts, Dorothy Blaisdell, Verona Blankenburg, Helen Bolles, Clara Elizabeth Bracewell, Brita Brady, Vera Bremer, Marie Buford, Magnolia Burroughs, Laura Barco, Frank Beaver, Eugene Bedinger, Royse Black, Ralph Blankenburg, Don Bonebrake, Ralph Brewer, Gene Bromley, Harold Brown, Richard Burk, Jewell Bailey, Mary Jane Balsley, Esther Bath, Helen Bogan, Henry Brazelton, Harold Brewington, Ralph Campbell, Charlotte Campbell, Harriett Carithers, Ercel Carson, Janet Carter, Vivian Chastain, Kathrine Clarkson, Margaret Clifton, Leona Cockerton, Mary Alice Conner, Catherine Collignon, Fred Courter, Clifford Cox, Harold Craig, Harold Crawford, Fred Carter, Elma Collignon, Marie Courtney, Miriam Cowan, Sarah Cutler, Howard Dalbey, Marian Davidson, Ruth Dennis, Helen Doney, Georgia Dowker, Gertrude E.

His first appearance won the respect and admiration of every athlete in the school and since that time this has been increased many times. Our prospects, at the time of his arrival, had a very dark cloud hanging over them, but our little meteor turned the cloud and brought out the bright side. In the two years Mr. Thompson has been coach, he has developed some of the best teams that ever represented the Maroon and White. From the first call for football until the last spiked shoe leaves the track in the spring, he puts forth his greatest efforts to present a clean, hard fighting team that will win. While he has our best wishes for a successful future, it is hoped that he will sound the first call for football next fall. His teams always are “The Danville Bears.” pO rx b x x y ie tyiedley x XX 0 Fifty men answered the call for footba'l candidates, September 5, 1922. Nine of these were varsity men from 1921. The squad faced the hardest schedule ever attempted by a Danville team, and came through with flying colors. Ten games were played, six of which were won, three lost and one tied. The scores of the three games lost were 7-6, 3-0, 9-7. Nine points were the most scored on Danville by any team. The 1922 team was at its best on defense, having only 4 touchdowns scored on it in the ten games played. The other features contributing to its success were the fierce tackling by nearly every member, and their alertness (Danville recovered, not only her own fumbles, but nearly all of her opponents). The first game of the season started with five regulars out on account of injuries. These all returned for the Springfield game, however, and the team for the first time proved its real worth. It continued to improve until the last game when, at full strength, it defeated Bowen High of Chicago, 3 years champions in their class. The season as a whole was one of the most interesting, as well as successful, ever enjoyed by a Danville team and did much for D. H. S. athletic tradition. 51 Linne, Sebat, Baldwin, Phillips, Wynn, Lewis, Atwood, Raushenberger, Learnard. Johnson, Morrissey, Ost, Tilton, Son, Smith, Swick, Rader, Swallow.

SIDELL AT DANVILLE This being the first game there was a fair sized crowd anxious to see the team in action. Nothing but straight football was used by Danville, and by using it they swamped Sidell by a score of 73-0. Sidell fought hard and clean the entire game but were unable to get the ball past their own 40 yard line. 53 X )xX- x he c9Medley x —XX||X 7—DANVILLE AT GEORGETOWN—7 A very large crowd and the band accompanied the team to Georgetown to see the battle. The day was very warm and being so early in the season, each team was handicapped in showing their stuff. When the smoke cleared from the field, Georgetown had, for the second time in two years, tied Danville. It was unfortunate that the two teams could not meet later in the season when they were both at their best. 7—HOOPESTON AT DANVILLE—12 A drizzling rain through the whole game slowed things up and made the plays very uncertain for each team. Danville played their poorest game of the season against Hoopeston. Due to injuries in the Georgetown game it became necessary to develop a new quarterback. This broke up the co-ordination of the team very much. The more powerful Danville team would carry the ball to the shadow of Hoopeston’s goal repeatedly, only to lose the ball by poor team work. However, they gained many more yards than did Hoopeston and the close score does not show the relative strength of the two teams. Glen Tilton ran through the entire Hoopeston team for 40 yards to their one yard line, proving himself a broken field runner of no ordinary ability. 0—SPRINGFIELD AT DANVILLE—24 The boys came back after the Hoopeston game and looked like a different team. It was rumored that Springfield had a very heavy team, and the rumor proved to be true. The boys were all keyed up for this game which was shown by their alertness from the first to the last whistle. Danville got the jump on the first kickoff and the playing was in Springfield territory during almost the entire game. Carnes played a wonderful game, making many gains and doing all the kicking and passing for the visitors. Petefish also played exceptionally well, he was easily one of the best defensive linemen met by Danville during the season. Meithe showed in this game that he could star against any opposition. Captain Hall could be relied upon any time during the game to gain ground or break up the opponents plays. It was on the first kickoff that McIntosh tackled Carnes so fiercely that he fumbled, Hall recovering the ball on the twenty yard line, paving the way for Meithe’s touchdown in the first two minutes of play. The score remained 6-0 until the third quarter when Carnes’ punt was blocked on Springfield’s twenty yard line and McIntosh recovered the ball and scored the second touchdown. Danville made one more touchdown in the third and another in the fourth quarter, making the score 24-0. In the final period many substitutes were used. These continued to gain ground on the much battered Sprirgfield team. 6—DANVILLE AT KANKAKEE—7 Kankakee was one of the few teams who got the big end of the scores, this one being 7-6. Their touchdown came in the first five minutes when Taylor carried the ball around our left end after a fake through the line. Goal was then kicked making the score 7-0. Our score came in the second quarter, but the kick after the touchdown failed. This making the score 7-6. 54 Xfp C _ -X (yVCedley x XM|K Danville had the ball within the shadow of Kankakee’s goal during the rest of the game, but failed to score. Sink played a remarkable game at end, being consistent in both offense and defense. Son, playing quarter back, handled the team in fine shape. Line plunging was one of the features of the game. Meithe’s speed and alertness kept Danville from being scored on several times, when Taylor of Kankakee broke loose. 3—URBANA AT DANVILLE—0 Urbana gave us our worst beating of the season, w’hen Lady Luck turned a cold shoulder upon us and fondled Urbana in her arms. The two teams were very evenly matched and it was just the breaks which are bound to come in every game that decided the argument. The contest was very stubbornly fought, the ball only once being within scoring distance, when Danville carried it to Urbana’s fifteen yard line. Here Urbana braced and held. It was a battle between the lines and they were so effective in defense that the back fields had little opportunity to show their real caliber. The only score came in the third quarter. Urbana on their own thirty-five yard line was forced to punt. Danville was penalized fifteen yards for holding and the ball given to Urbana for first down. They failed to gain their ground and were forced to punt again. For the second time and for the same thing we were again penalized, giving the ball to Urbana on our own thirty-two yard line, there Urbana being unable to gain but five yards. Sperry made a beautiful place kick and the game ended with the score 3-0, Urbana having the big end. 13—DANVILLE AT DECATUR—3 The battle between Decatur and Danville was one of the features of Armistice Day celebration. This game was played in the rain on a wet field, causing several fumbles, but most of them were made by Decatur. The fighting spirit of our opponents was very noticeable and their war cry was apparently “Beat Danville.” Danville played a defensive game the first half and punting featured it. The second half started with a rush, each team struggling for any opening that its opponent might leave. Then the break came when Decatur succeeded in getting the ball on Danville’s thirty yard line and a pass carried it five yards more. Then Lanum dropped back and made a drop kick, making the score 3-0 in Decatur’s favor. It was then that things started to happen. Hall ran the kickoff back to the forty yard line and later Decatur intercepted a pass on their twenty yard line. Decatur then punted and Miethe ran it back to their thirty yard line. Decatur held and Morrissey missed a place kick. Decatur again punted out of danger. A series of line plunges by Hall, Miethe and Harper netted from three to eighteen yards each, placing the ball on Decatur’s ten yard line, the quarter ending here. At the beginning of the next quarter Hall carried the ball in two plunges for a touchdown, Morrissey missing the kick, making the score 6-3. After the kickoff the teams fought much in the middle of the field. Decatur was apparently weakening, and after Collignon blocked one of their punts and Hall ran it back to their twenty yard line, it was evident. Four plays through the line carried the ball to the goal and Tilton kicked making the score 13-3. From then on the ball was in Decatur territory and the game ended with the ball on their forty-five yard line. 55 O 0 X- x fy ie tyCedley X XM x 7—DANVILLE AT JOLIET—9 This game was more exciting than any other of the season. The teams were very evenly matched and put up a great battle. The first quarter neither team had the advantage and each was looking for a weak spat. In the latter part of the second quarter, Tilton punted from the middle of the field and the ball went out of bounds on Joliet’s one yard line. Joliet’s punt was blocked and the ball recovered in back of the goal line by Collignon. Morrissey kicked goal. A few minutes later the half ended with a score of 7-0 in Danville’s favor. The second half Joliet came back strong and played the boys off their feet. They carried the ball from the kickoff back to the fifty yard line; then in five consecutive line plunges they had the ball across the goal line, but they failed to annex another point by kicking goal. The game then, up until the last quarter, went on with neither team being able to get within scoring distance. By hard playing in the latter part, Joliet managed to get the ball to our twenty-five yard line where a kick was made that .iust did skin over, making the score 9-7. Our boys then came back strong and by hard fighting and playing got the ball to Joliet’s twenty yard line. Here Joliet held and Morrissey was forced to try for a goal from field. The drop kick was blocked and Joliet got the ball; they were forced to punt and the game ended a few seconds later. The treatment the team received was fine, in fact the best any Danville team ever received. Everything was done that would make the visit a pleasant one. 3—OAKWOOD AT DANVILLE—51 This game was very much one sided and Oakwood was never dangerous. They did, however, manage to get the ball close enough to drop kick and saved themselves from a shut-out. Captain Hall, Les Son and McIntosh were all out of the game on account of injuries, except for these three men, every man that was out for football played and helped put across a 51-3 score. 0—BOWEN AT DANVILLE—6 The Champions of Class B of Chicago met some tough competition when they faced “Thompson’s Bears” for their final game of the season. This team had lost but one game during the entire season, this being to Rockford by a 6-0 score. They also had four men picked on the “All Chicago” team. Then they out-weighed the boys by an average of eight pounds. In spite of all this the squad fought its way to a 6-0 victory. This game was a battle between the two lines. The back fields were both handicapped on account of the wet field. At the end of the half it started to rain and did not stop until the game was over. This caused much fumbling and also slowed up the men on each team. The two teams were very evenly matched and the ball was see-sawed back and forth in the middle of the field, neither team getting it within scoring distance until the third quarter. The only touchdown started when a pass from Miethe to Sink was completed for fifteen yards. Then by a series of line plunges the ball was brought to the forty yard line. Here a pass, Miethe to Swick, was completed for twelve yards and a few minutes later another, Hall to Son, netted twelve more. Captain Hall was then brought back and by a series of line plunges brought the ball to the two yard line. Then the quarter ended, but when the whistle blew for the beginning of the final quarter, Hall carried the 56 O oc .JO £)7z ? Medley x —x 0 ball over for the lone touchdown. Tilton missed goal and the score was 6-0 in Danville’s favor. The rest of the game then went on as it had before, neither team being able to bring the ball within scoring distance. Hall and Miethe made most of the ground gained through line plunging. Morrissey had his eye on the “old agate” and got off some fine punts. Son, Miethe and Swick also contributed to the ground gained, by completing a number of passes. Foot Ball Schedule for 1923 September 29—To be filled.

In spite of the fact that a “jinx” trailed along with the squad, it could not keep the boys on the bottom. Its first appearance was made when a week before the season opened “Les” Son was found to be ineligible. Then after the Christmas vacation he smiled on us again by causing Horace Newman to have to give up basketball on account of sickness. Robert Carson was the next victim to be blessed. Then it struck another blow in February when Theodore Hudson became ineligible on account of the eight semester ruling. All through the season its appearance was noticeable and then it made its last strike in the District tournament. After the boys had fought through their first game Herman Miethe was taken ill and was unable to play in the second game which was with Hoopeston. The season ended with the team winning eleven out of fifteen games played. Had the team lost every game but that one played on home-coming the season would have been a success. The boys defeated Urbana who were considered to have the best team they had had for several years. Then the team beat Decatur, for the first time any basketball team from Danville had ever got the big end of the score from them, the season was absolutely a success without saying more. 59 0 § 0 - x he yf(edley x -J0 0 Gulick, Pentecost (Business Manager) Stellner, Williams, Bertelsman.

Some of the boys, however, had been in training since last October when they started to get limbered up for the Cross Country run. Then through February and March all of the letter men brushed up for the meet at Northwestern and since that time the entire squad has been working out. The prospects are now the brightest they have ever been in the history of the school. The letter men are doing better than ever before and the newcomers are making a splendid showing. The team is well balanced and should make a good showing in the meets that are to come. The mid-season form that they are showing now, and considering the further improvements that will be made, several records should be broken. The only setback so far is the injury to Captain Van Voorhis who has an infection in one foot which will probably keep him out of the first few meets. 64 rx bcx x yhe tytedley x —xx 0 Miethe, Coach Thompson, McLeod Stellner, Van Voorhis, (Capt.), Carson, Swallow.

Abe is a veteran of three years experience and is expected to win many points during this season. DUAL MEET AT URBANA The Bears started the season in high by gathering 80 points in the meet while Urbana could only accumulate 42. Baldwin and Whitlock were the outstanding stars and both being new men shows the advance the boys are making under Mr. Thompson’s supervision. The swimmers also made a fine showing. Newman and the Jewell brothers won all the points made by Danville, but Urbana got the same number. The relay was the deciding factor in the swim and Urbana won. Event 50 Yd. Dash 100 Yd.

Science Club The Science Club is a very important factor in the student activities of D. H. S. It is a club that concerns everything that comes through the name of science. It is a hard matter for any student, who loves science, to resist being a member of this organization. The chief functions of this club are—Holding meetings on every other Thursday afternoon at 3:45. At these meetings many interesting talks and discussions on subjects mostly concerning science includes the program. On weeks in which no meetings are held, a field trip is usually planned, if convenient to all members. These trips are taken to shops, factories and places where equipments have resulted and work is carried on through the name of science. It is very easy for any active member of this organization, who goes on all field trips and attends all meetings, to have their knowledge of science increased. 81 —Abe Van Voorhis. x xx— o Ccyhe fiedley x xX X TKe Dramatic Club This club was organized in the fall of 1922.

So the club has many hopes and ambitions for next year. 82 —Phyllis Sheffer. 0 X x he (jVCedley Cx XX§K Treasury) Staff Keeping accurate records of all High School organization funds is the aim of the Treasury Staff. In addition to a faculty auditor, the staff is composed of three student assistants. Being appointed to the Treasury Staff is an opportunity for students of bookkeeping to apply ideas gained in that study. During the past year, one additional organization fund has been given us for accountability and the increasing amount of money handled is surprising. These facts bear witness to the merits of this Staff. 83 —E. H. Rayl. The High School Band The Danville High School Band which was organized three years ago, has advanced more rapidly this year than any year of its existence. Under the new director, Mr. McKinney, the boys have really learned, not as a group alone, but individually, many preparing themselves better for ensemble playing by private lessons. Of the many times the band has turned out, not once have they come without pep. As for pep, no organization in school can equal the band. As for playing ability, that of the Danville High School Band ranks high among high schools in the state. We appreciate very much the w'ork of the band this year, we appreciate the work of the directors and we have great expectations and high hopes that soon we will have the very best High School Band in the State. 84 0«!§Xx-------x yhe‘jHfidley PC'. X C The High School Orchestra At the beginning of the year, our music professor organized an orchestra. Rehearsals were held each Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:30. The orchestra took part in several programs in the assembly, receiving much applause at the completion of each number. Many were the times the leader had received compliments upon the organization and upon individual members. As the semester wore on and times became crowded to overflowing with engagements for various individuals, interest slackened and it became a drudgery for some to attend rehearsals. Time approached for the band concert and all of the leader’s time was taken in the training of the band. As a result of shortage in time the orchestra suspended x’ehearsals until later in the year. We wish to thank all those who so devoutly gave of their time to make the orchestra the success it has become. 85 0 xx--------- 0 fy-he Kfidley OCZZXxfo In its annual dual debate Urbana and Danville argued the question, “Resolved; that the immigration of unskilled labor into the U. S. be prohibited for a period of ten years.’’ Herman McCray, with an interesting presentation of the industrial advantage from such a policy, opened the argument. His speaking was characterized by sincerity and vigor which effectively won the attention and support of the audience. Leon Friedman, as second speaker, analyzed the social problem arising from our present influx of Southern Europeans and conclusively established his contention in such a way that the negative left it untouched. His earnestness and enthusiasm further strengthened the affirmative case. Leroy Linne, in the capacity of third speaker, demonstrated decided ability in the political phase of the argument. His material was well organized and his splendid delivery of it was very convincing. The rebuttals clinched the case. The unanimous decision of 3-0 represents the fruits of their work, practice, and interest. Affirmative —Ruth Sandeson. 86 X§ CX- —X jhe jV(j3dley X -XX$X Negative Debating Team Intelligent aggressiveness chai-acterized the negative debate team which D. H. S. this year sent to Urbana. When a suggestion was given them by their coach, they were never satisfied until they had carried it out in every detail. Moreover, on their own initiative, they were constantly in search of new ideas and new material for their case, a merit which added greatly to their possibilities. Carl Sehroeder, whose ease on the platform and smoothness of delivery, was always in evidence an invaluable member of the negative trio. Carl will be with us again next year and should be a part of the nucleus around which we can build next year’s teams. John Connelly and Abe Simon were two fighting seniors. John’s greatest strength was in his concluding rebuttal as third speaker, when he practically removed doubt about what the decision would be. Abe Simon, who was the only man of previous debating experience from either of the teams, spoke with all the finish which an experienced speaker should display. The result was Danville 3, Urbana 0. —W. B. Barton. 87 0 X---------x ‘ly'he i Aiedley X x Wrangl ers With the election of officers in October, the Wranglers Club continued its twelfth year with zest. The work was taken up where last year’s club left off. Regular meetings were held, an assembly program given, and active support of all literary activities has characterized the year’s work. The most important social function was the Wrangler’s annual banquet. Until last year it has been held on the night of the debate. Finding this new plan desirable, the banquet was given a few weeks later in order that all the debaters, as well as ex-Wranglers, could be present. The attendance and spirit was all that could be desired. Wranglers has always endeavored to aid the school and we are proud to say that every member of the debating teams are members of the Wranglers club. Our representatives in oratory, declamation, and extemporary speaking are usually Wranglers. The training received by participation in the activities of the club is invaluable. Here’s to the success of the Wranglers in the past and the hoped for success in the future! —Leroy Linne 88 X OC—-------X [yhe tytedley OC XX§§pQ TKe Maroon and White Staff Previous to this year, the monthly publication of Danville High School was edited by the same staff throughout the year. This year, since it was desired to have more students participate in this line of activity and thus increase the literary resources of the school, it was decided to have a new editorial staff for each issue. In order to avoid complications, however, the business department was to be the same throughout the year. Each issue was to be edited by several English classes, the teachers acting as faculty advisers. On the whole, the plan has been successful and the efforts of the various staffs deserve commendation for their work during the year. Being a new plan of course some faults became evident that were not at first apparent but the plan also contains many laudable features. More students participated in the work and gained the experience in that line of activity. The quality of the material in the publication was increased because of the wider talent employed. Whether the plan will be a permanent success, is yet to be decided. The Maroon and White Staff wishes to thank those people who gave of their time and energy to secure advertising for the “Maroon and White.” 89 X§X C_ X he (j' {jzdley OC-...................

Food, rare and rich, she did not beg, But ate the boiled or scrambled egg; When offered lukewarm tea she drank it, And did not crave an extra blanket, Nor extra pillows for her head; She seemed to like the spare room bed. She brought a small and lightish box, And always went to bed at 10. She left no little things behind, But stories new and gossip kind. —From The Spectator. Fool Questions D. F.

Tell me when you want me to go.” “Let’s not discuss the past.” Trying Automobile Stuff, Eh?

Toss not away sleepless nights upon a poor mattress, when an investment of one-half of one copper cent per night additional will obtain thee a good one. IV. . When considering the cost of the mattress thou art about to purchase, divide that cost by the number of nights the mattress will rest thee, and observe the economy of a good mattress. V. Consider thy mattress as the fountain of energy, and respect it accordingly. VI. Remember always that the increased cost of a good mattress is returned to thee many-fold in increased vitality. VII. Take heed to thy health, which dependeth upon good sleep. Take heed to thy sleep, which dependeth upon a good mattress. VIII. Deem it not extravagant to expend for a mattress which will serve thee twenty years an amount equal to the cost of a suit cf raiment which will serve thee two years. IX. Think not too deeply upon spending for ten years of good sleep an amount equal to one year of bum haircuts. X. Bear in mind always that an expensive bed equipped with a poor mattress is ever as a mound of broken concrete, while a good mattress maketh of the cheapest iron bed a couch fit for the Chief Executive.

Xx K BASKETBALL IN THE CLASS OF ’23 Very few Senior classes in very few high schools can boast a basketball team like the one which represented this year’s Senior class. Aside from being class champions they acquired the scalps of several prominent independent teams and brought fame to their school and also to themselves by winning the Amateur Independent Tournament held at the Y. M. C. A., February 15, 16 and 17. But to go back, they defeated the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen during the Inter-Class tournament and were rewarded by being presented with a handsome shield which they in turn presented to the school as an incentive to other Senior classes. Then they had to have some practice in order that they might prepare for the Amateur Independent Tournament, so they challenged the Catlin Independents, the Potomac Independents, and the local Y. M. C. A. teams in the order named and defeated each of them. They were now fitted for the Tournament. They drew the Alvin All-Stars for the first game Friday afternoon and defeated them easily 34-16. They played the Y. M. C. A. Saturday morning and defeated them 27-25. This victory placed them in the semifinals. They met the Sidell Bouncers in the afternoon and defeated them handily 33-12. They were now ready for the final and championship game at 8:15 with Catlin. This game was fast and furious and threatened to slow up the boys who had already played two games that day. Catlin had only played one and were comparatively fresh, so to speak. But the undaunted fighting spirit acquired through 4 years of varsity competition was not to be gained for naught and they came out the victors 23-19. Let it be known that without the assistance of Coach Glen Thompson the results might have been disastrous, for it was through his efforts that the boys were spurred on to overcome that tirelessness which threatened the score several times in the final game. As one of the local newspapers said, “Danville High School has one championship Basketball team but it is composed of ineligibles who have finished their scholastic careers and are graduating in June.” You are not astonished at their success when you learn that such players as “Bill” Christy, Theodore Hudson, John Funk, John Raushenberger, “Mel” Hall, Sam Murray, Walter Pentecost and “Les” Son comprised the quintet.

M., answer roll call for seven periods and then pass out through those same archways at 4 P. M. This group claims most of us, yet there are some among us who have been known to answer roll call for the eighth period. This period, as far as can be ascertained, begins sometime around midnight and ends at the pupils’ desire. The subject taught is “Modern Redecorating,” and from some exhibitions of the work accomplished, we are forced to admit that the pupils have the subject “well at hand.” However, the number to enter under those archways to answer roll call for the eighth period, in the last few years, has been limited and the writer of this article feels very fortunate in having overheard the following anecdote pertaining to an eighth period class: It was in deep winter of the year A. D. 1920. The sky was clear and the Mother Moon and all the little Moons were overtaxing themselves in order to see that man protruded undisturbed. The wind, however, was not aware of man’s desires, and being on a rampage, picked up the fallen snow and piled it in dunes. It was a night of restlessness without, yet very few people were out stirring. The arc light on the corner of Pine and Seminary streets, swinging to and fro, let out a mournful creak that reminded one of anything but gaiety. Aside from the wind and the creaking arc light could be heard (Continued on page 144) BRADY BRANCH COAL CO. E. V. HEATON, M.D. (Not Inc.)

But if you have a conception of the place and conditions, I shall proceed with my story. It was the hour for ghosts to walk, but what ghost would leave the w'armth of his tomb to brave the winter’s chill this night? However, three human beings who had not as yet entered their abodes for the evening, but who were at this moment in the act of proceeding homeward, came walking westward on Seminary street. An occasional outburst of laughter could be heard between short low sentences that were evidently humorous with now and then a short whistling refrain of a popular dance number. As they neared the High School their voices quieted and they seemed less jovial. They held a conference on the school yard and then proceeded to the Gilbert street entrance, opened an already unlocked window and entered the building seemingly as carefree as a bachelor entering his apartments at 3 A. M. Once inside they lowered the window and latched it from the inside. By means of a small pocket flashlight they found their wTay to the lower hall, climbed the creaking stairs, that added to the already deathlike atmosphere, and entered the Assembly Room. They ransacked every desk, taking the necessary precautions against being detected. This task alone required about two hours of fast working, and the next hour was spent in cutting the wires which announce the beginning and close of each period, placing Limburger cheese behind most of the radiators, painting the blackboards and the general destruction of property. 4 A. M. found them near the end of their task and they were preparing to leave. The wind was still howling without, the creaking of the arclight could be heard and daybreak was not far off. As they started to descend the north stairs they heard a sharp wheeze as if someone afflicted with the asthma. One remarked that it was the wind, another that it was the mice at play, the third, being of a more frightful nature, was not so sure but tried to convince himself for the sake of his peace of mind that it was one of the two conditions mentioned by his associates. However, by this time the wheeze repeated itself and it sounded even closer than before. The noise came from the hall which is just back of the assembly platform and which connects the north and south entrances to the assembly room. Two frightened to move and inwardly desiring to free themselves from this frightened state, they backed up in front of the door which leads to Mr. Baer’s office and awaited developments. All through the building was dark and quiet with the exception of this periodical wheeze which came closer and closer. Although they possessed a flashlight they had no occasion to use it for what was before them was clearly discernible. It was nothing else than a real live ghost, at least as live as ghosts can be. This wheeze that came forth at regular intervals continued as it walked to the stairs, fingered the railing and descended to the first landing and walked back and forth, peeping out of the windows as if looking for a means of escape. The boys watched this with open eyes and faulty hearts, powerless and speechless. After ten paces back and forth in front of the windows the white spectre ascended the stairs, grasping the railing as does a blind person and slowly re-entered the narrow hall from whence it came.

It mounted the stairs which lead up to the attic and disappeared, but the boys went no further. On the way home they discussed the event and one boy related a story told to him by his father. The substance of which is this: One time there was a thief who had been wounded by the police and who sought this building as a place of refuge, knowing it to be a safe hiding place for the night and at least until he had shaken the pursuing police. It happened that his injuries were more serious than he had ascertained and rather than give himself up to the police he nursed his own wounds until too weak from the loss of blood and then died. His body was found and identified as the thief who had escaped the police, yet his Spirit had never left the building and nightly he takes this stroll from the attic to seek a means of escape. The windows are always bolted before the janitor leaves the building and the boys were able to get in only because one of them hid in the building and unlocked the window after the janitor had made his round of inspection. It seems that this ghost is due to be a prisoner until we occupy the new building and the one we now adorn is torn down. But I have failed to mention the result which this event had upon the other nine hundred students in school that semester. The result was a holiday for them and the faculty busied themselves in clearing away the debris so that school might “take up” promptly at 8:40 A. M. on the following day—which it did. Mrs. Wakeley—“John, there’s a strange man in the room!” John Wakeley—“What do you want?” Burglar—“Money.” John W.—“What security do you offer?” Late in life, success expands the waistband. Early in life, it expands the hatband. Mrs. Johnsing—“Ah thought you-all said you was gwine name yo’ baby ‘Vic-trola’ but ah see you’ve done changed yo’ mind.” Mrs. Moses—“Uh-huh, ah ’spected it would be a girl and ah decided to name her ‘Victrola’ but it was a boy and so ah named him ‘Radio’.” She—“I don’t care for men. In fact I’ve said ‘no’ to several of them.” He—“What were they selling?” “Bill” Thompson—“So she winked at you, eh? What followed?” Rufus Scoles—“Why, I did, of course.” Bill Wherry says a man doesn’t have to study botany to be able to tell a bud from a wall flower. Farewell Danville High Farewell old D. H. S.
