Q xx. X £yhe tyCedley X -XX Q Senior Class Histor? 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
