CHRISTMAS PARTIES The Yuletide spirit was glowing in D. H. S. at Christmas time, made so by the great number of Santa Claus parties that were given. As is the custom each year, practically every club or organization in school celebrated the Christmas sea- son with a party. At the top of the page Cleft to rightl are snaps from the International Club and Girl Reserve parties. At the bottom of the page are fleft to rightb snaps from the Girls' Club Tea Dance and the annual Dramatic Club Christmas Alumni dinner. The Christmas vacation wouldn't seem happy for the students without the memories of these club parties. l A...-154

y As Mr. Medley entered the door at the Circle Drive of Danville High School, he was greeted by a large sign that read as follows: A through D i,..,................. Room 117 E through K ..,,., ..... R Oom 216 L through R ,,,.,. ........ R oom 249 S through Z ...,..... ........ R oom 314 New Freshmen ...,.,............ Room 342 This told him that he must go to room 249 to get his program card which would contain his daily schedule for the coming semester. All around him, the hustle and bustle of both teachers and students reminded him that preparation for the new school year had al- ready begun. To start the day out right, Mr. Medley re- ported to his home room with the rest of the students as soon as he got to school in the morning for perhaps after a little hall walk- ingj. Everyone was to be in his seat by 8:30. The period was usually fifteen minutes in length and was used for various purposes. On Monday morning the announcements for the week were read, and the school newspa- per was passed out to subscribers. The stu- dents, with the assistance of their advisers, checked over their four year schedules and made out their next semester's program cards. When a student was failing in his work, he was given help by his adviser in this roll call period. Time not used for announce- ments and other various duties to be accom- plished in roll call was used for study. Wyfplfijil 71-IOME Roo M WW MM! 1 Y -.4 ' T A s Aw, 'T' rM ' Q.

Science Club Mr. Medley had taken biology when he was a sophomore and greatly enjoyed working in the laboratory. Because of his apparent in- terest the club advisers, Miss Dague and Miss Ernest, had encouraged him to join the Science Club. There were meetings, parties, and field trips, the latter was particularly appealing to him. Becoming well acquainted with the three major sciences, chemistry, bi- ology, and physics, he could name almost any tree on sight, tell you all about the oxidation- reduction reaction, or explain to you how the electric wiring in your home worked. Dur- ing the year, he made a notebook of drawings with nature as its subject and also carried out several experiments with gases. When summer and vacation time came, Mr. Medley realized how much he would miss these expe- riences in the practical application of science, but resolved to continue these experiments in his leisure time at home. The members of this year's cabinet, from left to right are Betty Boink, secre- tary, Jean Randolph, social chairman, Byron Robinson, vice-president, Norman Mayer, program chairman, Eileen Shephard, membership chairmang and Dorothy Lindley, 20 literary chairman. Seated is Jim Bost, this year's president. The cabinet for this year as pictured above is as follows, left to right: Bernice C. Hutner .... ............ .... ........ V 1 c e-President Joyce Murphy ...... ............. P resident Don Blary .....e., e,.. - Secretary-Treasurer Emerson Beck ........,.......... ,... P rogram Chairman Seated is Mr. Johnson, the club's adviser. Wranglers Club Because he realized the value of knowing how to speak properly and the help that Wranglers' Club could give him along this line, Mr. Medley was one of the first people to join during the new school year. The meetings through the year interested him a great deal and he was always on deck at the regular time in Room 114 on alternate Thursday nights. He also enjoyed the close friendships that he secured at these meetings and at the Well-planned Wranglers' parties. Mr. Medley always looked forward to the fine Thanksgiving assembly presented by his club every year on the day of Thanksgiving Vacation dismissal. g
