MISS RUTH SANDESON Senior Adviser The senior class deeply appreciates Miss Sandeson's interest and service throughout the year. In the selection of the senior song, charac- ters for the senior play, and countless other things which concern the senior class, she has proved a never failing adviser. She has done much to make the last year the outstanding part of every student's school life. SEVEN SENIOR COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO AID ADVISER AND PRESIDENT SOCIAL COMMITTEE All juniors and seniors look forward to the plans made by the senior social committee. This year plans made by the committeeg Mary McCann, chairman, Betty OyFarrell, Evelyn Anderson, Melma jean Ewert, Bob Harrold, Harry Marlatt and Bill Routsong, were quite different from the years before. They were in the form of a cabaret dinner and dance. GIFT COMMITTEE The senior class of 1935 did well in their selection of their gift to their Alma Mater. It was put to a vote and the majority of the class decided upon a bronze tablet in memory of the late prin- cipal, Mr. john E. VVakeley. The com- mittee was made up of George Kining- hamgchairman, jean Stephens, Milbra Osborn and Russell Sager. MOTTO COMMITTEE Choosing a slogan for the class of T35 was quite a hard task for the motto com- mittee. This committee was composed of Bob Lammers, chairman, Robert Lock- wood, Veneta Gibbs and Helen Hen- drichs. Three meetings were necessary to choose fitting mottoes. These were put to vote and the seniors pride them- selves in saying 'fWe Strive to Conquer. COLOR COMMITTEE Among several recommendations of the color committee, crimson and silver were selected as the official color by the vote of the senior class. Gilbert Supple. chairman of this committee, was assisted by Rosemary Campbell, Doris Ames and William Smiley. Their selection was embodied in the Medley. SONG COMMITTEE The song is ended, but the melody lingers on forever and ever in the heart of every senior. john VVakeley, chair- man of the song committee, assisted by Eleanor Yeomans, jean Stewart and Frank Caughron, chose the song, Ex Aulis lmus, that will long be remem- bered. The words were written by Flora Sollars and the music was composed by James Coffing. INVITATION COMMITTEE Among the souvenirs of the ,35 gradu- ates will probably be found one of their graduation announcements. This signi- fies the work of the invitation committee who chose six different types of an- nouncements which they considered the best. This committee was composed of Louise Baum, chairman, assisted by Betty Hacker, Dick Frye and Ross Fair- child. The selection made by the ma- jority of the class was a modernistic type with the seal on the inside. PROGRAM COMMITTEE The program committee of the senior class, made up of Beth Utterback, chair- man, Betty Tracy, james Llewellyn, Mary Frances Rush, james Coffing, Elmer Lete and VVilmer Brown, with its original ideas and suggestions plan the stunt for the senior play and are, also, in charge of the program for Class Day.

lllr. John E. Wakeley Page Three Shortly before dawn of December eighteenth, nine- teen hundred and thirty-four, the soul of Mr. John E. VV'akeley passed to a great beyond, mowed down by one broad sweep of the Grim Reaper. Friend, coun- selor, guide-well it may be said of him, 'ihow nobly he did his share. Though taken in the prime of life while eager winds were kissing every sailf' he shall ever live on through the noble ideals and aspirations which he so indelibly imprinted upon every heart of D. H. S. To endeavor, in some small way, to pay a lasting tribute, We, the Medley Staff of 1935, dedicate this book to the memory of one whom Danville High School will never forget, John E. VVakeley.
