DMLE.ILLIN01S AN EDITORIAL, PICTORIAL AND ARTISTIC EDITOR’S STATEMENT The fundamental purpose of the 1941 Medley is to give to the students of Danville High a complete, informal, and interesting account of the important happenings during the school year 1940-1941. With this aim in mind the Medley Staff started to work in early September. In order to make the 1941 Medley a complete record, the staff decided to portray, if at all possible, all happenings which it deemed most important to the student body as a whole, in all the phases of school life. It, therefore, seemed easiest to divide our book into separate sections, each of which would represent one of these phases. Thus was created the motive for the following pictorial phases of school life for the 1941 Medley: classes, faculty, organizations, athletics, school life, social life, and autographs. Each of these phases will be shown in divisions relating to our central theme, Service, which will be explained in the last part of this section. By putting together the first letter of each divisional title the word Service is spelled out. In attempting to make the book informal in its style, the staff tried to eliminate, as much as possible, the old formal or posed type of picture. Instead, it was decided to picture the students in informal fashion or as they normally appear under ordinary school conditions. The results of our attempts to make the book interesting can only be decided by vou, the students of Danville High School. It seemed to us that one of the most essential tasks of our modern high schools is to educate their students so that when they become grown citizens, they will be worthwhile and useful assets to their community. Therefore, the staff is cooperating with the school in accomplishing this task by putting before the students’ eves one of the most important requirements of a good citizen, that of serving his community. Hence we try to show in the 1941 Medley how the high school student of today receives a foundation for this requirement by learning to serve. TIIE EDITOR. DEPICTION OF LIFE IN DANVILLE HIGH The youth of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Thus the twenty-two hundred students enrolled in Danville High School represent a certain proportion of Danville’s future citizenry. From this group will undoubtedly come many of our leaders of tomorrow including doctors, lawyers, politicians, and business executives. There will be many other types of jobs that they hold, of course, but the important point is that the majority of them will be good citizens and will serve their communitv well. This fact is probable because they are now in the stage of learning to serve and from their training in Dan- ille High it is very likely that they will put into application what they are learn- The purpose of this section, therefore, is to salute the citizens of tomorrow or the seniors, juniors, and underclassmen of Danville High School today. able time of the student’s high school career. At this time his participation in activities has usuallv reached a climax. He has also completed in this year the required amount of school work and is rewarded for this by being graduated in Danville High School. The junior year in our high school is a period when the student usually comes into prominence in school activities. He has just advanced from the undergraduate stage and has a feeling of much more importance now. The sophomore year is the period in which the student has become acquainted with all functions of school life and has naturally acquired a more sophisticated doors to the numerous possibilities that are in store for the new student. Danville High School is a friendly school and all former students, faculty and administration join to assist the new student in making enjovable adjustments. mg. The senior rear at Danville is in most cases the most important and enjov- at the annual commencement. Besides this there are many social functions given especially for the seniors. This year there were 366 students who were seniors air. The freshman year is one of many new experiences, each of which opens The following section is devoted entirely to individuals in these four classes. THE SENIOR THOSE WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY SERVED OUR SCHOOL FOR FOUR YEARS, AND NOW GRA Colors Motto GREEN AND GOLD TRUE PATRIOTS ALL; WE SERVE The Senior class was conducted as a small democracy all of its own. It elected officers and voted on the class colors, motto, and gift. Any student had the opportunity to write the words or music of the class song. Many of the students turned in their compositions and the song chairman, along with his committee, chose the best one. The motto selected was made a little differently, however. The motto committee wrote four or five mottos and then put them up to the Senior Class for an election. The one that received the greatest number of votes was adopted. The class colors were selected in the same manner. I he Senior Class gave a play in accordance with the custom. The money obtained from it was used for a gift to the school. 'I he gift committee made a list of several items from which the Senior Class voted to present a drop curtain for the stage and curtains for the balcony. The Junior and Senior classes cooperated in giving a prom. This year it was held in the High School Building and was entirely formal. This was one of the outstanding events of the year. The juniors and seniors looked forward to the prom for many months. Another Democratic activity was a day when College Representatives from the different schools around came to Danville High and discussed with the Seniors the problems of choosing a school to attend and the manner in which to go about it. The Seniors on College Day could go to the auditorium any Study Hall Period. We. the Seniors, felt that College Day was a good idea and has helped us with our problems.

These people are better known as the administration and faculty to the average student. In their job they are entrusted, to a certain point, with the shaping and development of a student’s life. The influence which they exert upon the student is sometimes immeasurable. Thus with the type of helpful training these people of DHS give, the amount of true service is given accordingly. Besides merely serving as a teacher each faculty member is in charge of a number of students during roll call period. Here he serves as an adviser and a personal friend to every student in his roll call. He is not only anxious to answer questions about school classes but any other school questions or problems that might arise in the student’s mind. In addition to serving as an adviser during roll call period, many teachers also serve as an adviser to a special club or organization. It is usually some club which is in connection with one of the teacher’s favorite interests. It is therefore easier for the teacher to be a good and helpful adviser. This task of the teacher necessitates giving up a certain amount of outside time and also requires additional work. The success of many former students now in college and the success of many business men who have graduated from DHS can be fundamentally attributed to the excellency of our present and past faculties and administrations. Our present system is under the capable direction of Mr. Clarence Vance, city superintendent of schools, and Mr. Russell Duffin, principal of Danville High School. They with the aid of our other administration leaders and faculty members have just completed another successful year during the 1940-41 school season. ville High School than that of those people who are endeavoring to mold mind, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” This phrase typifies our Principal. Russell M. Duffin, who with his willingness, leadership, and cheerfulness guides the students of Danville High School. MR. DUFFIN MR. SCHOOLCRAFT Many a student might well envy Mr. Schoolcraft for his overflow of enthusiasm as adviser of Booster Club and his patience and perseverance in his everyday duties as Dean of Boys. r- ' a MISS THOMPSON Successfully and capably fulfilling her first year as Dean of Girls in Danville High School, Miss Thompson has every right to look forward to a bright and rosy future. Truly a likable person is Mr. Faulk, or ‘‘Prof,” as he is commonly known by almost every student in Danville High School. As adviser of the Maroon and White, Mr. Faulk has won the admiration of all those with whom he has come in contact. MR.

Realizing this fact our high school has attempted to establish all types of organizations, clubs, and diversions to take care of these students’ wants. The main purpose of having these types of organizations is to give these students a chance of enjoying more fully their high school lives, and in some instances to further their knowledge along a particular line which otherwise would be impossible for them to gain through their school studies. Therefore, excluding athletics, which will be presented in the next section, this section is entirely devoted to the purpose of Representing the Students’ Common Interest. Membership in any of these organizations is not compulsory but is advised for the student. It is felt that if the student can get in an activity during the first years of his high school career, he will receive much benefit from it as he progresses through school. The organizations serve the school as well as the individual by bringing a closer relationship between the two. As the individual assumes a higher position in his activity, he also assumes more responsibilities which he must meet. Thus the organizations serve the student by preparing him for the added responsibilities he must meet when he goes out into the world. Since the interests of the students are continually changing many new organizations have come into being since the establishment of the first club in Danville High School in 1902. 'This club was called Girls’ Club. Throughout the years it has been in a dominating position and today stands as the one having the largest membership of any organization in school. Others were quickly added to the list until the total number of clubs reached thirty-seven when Model Airplane Club was established last year, 1940. Much of the success of these clubs is due to the club advisers. These advisers are teachers in DHS who have a special interest in the organization with which they are affiliated. Under the direction of these advisers and student elected officers the organizations hold meetings, enjoy social events and further their interest and education along their own chosen lines. This constitutes a complete year for the organization. THESE CHARACTER BUILDING CLUBS APPLY III- Y CLUB OFFICERS First Now—'Wayland, V. (I res.), Mr. Faulk, adviser.

Meetings are held throughout the school year, usually at the Y” on Thursday evenings. Programs generally consist of a speaker. These speakers and their subjects vary greatly, usually having something to do with one of the four parts of the Hi-Y slogan—clean living, clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship. Some of the special programs during the year are the Freshman Banquet, Alumni Banquet, “Y” Chicken Bake, Mother and Son Banquet, joint meetings with the Girl Reserves, district and state conventions, swims, and the spring picnic. The purpose of the Hi-Y is: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character.” LET’S EAT PLANNING HI-Y-GIRL RESERVE BANQUET WEALS OF SERVICE BY WORDS AND DEEDS GIRL RESERVES CABINET First Row—Adams, K.

LET’S SING This nation-wide organization holds a high place among the clubs of our school. Much information of value is given the members by means of interesting speakers and discussion groups. The girls will always remember the fun they had from the stunt shows, teas, picnics, and banquets which were held during the year. One of the highlights for some of the girls this last year was the convention which they attended at Decatur. This club served the school by building high ideals of citizenship and character among the girls. PRESIDENT RUTH ADAMS INSTALLS MEMBERS IN THE LIBRARY AND STUDENT GOVERNMENT LIBRARi Amid book-lined shelves and restful quiet, students of Danville High School did their library reference work. The library, under the direction o f M i s s French, opened its doors to students and teachers at 8:00 A. M. and closed at 4:00 I M. Besides the librarian, :here were student assistants who took care of routine library work and helped students locate material. These assistants were high school seniors interested in library work. Each girl received her training as a junior and put it into practice as a senior. In addition to the reference books, there was a collection of fiction books for the students to use. In this way the library served the school. Library assistants, first rote- Templeton. M., Foster, J., Hamer, A.. Royalty. 11. Second row—Quick. K., Watson. M. R.

PRESIDENT HOSCH CALLS THE MEETING TO ORDER The Student Council, consisting of representatives elected from each class and the presidents of ill school organizations represented the students in school government. Each month it met under the direction of Mr. Duffin to discuss all sorts of problems. Since it was an organization which worked for the good of the school, one of its first acts was to sponsor the annual assembly fund drive. The money it raised was used to purchase good assembly programs, which were presented during the year. With the start of the second semester, there was an overflow of students in the study halls. Knowing this the Council members agreed to supervise the small Honor Study Halls for the remainder of the year. M SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT AND ADVISER CONVERSE QUIZ KIDS In order to promote an active interest in science was the purpose of forming the Science Club, and it seems to be doing a very good job of just that among the members of the biology, chemistry, and physics departments of our school. During the year there was a great deal of fun and knowledge to be had from the meetings, parties, and field trips which were a part of the activities of a very worthwhile and energetic club. The members of the foreign language department were the lucky ones eligible to membership in International Club. During the school year the various departments—Spanish, French, Latin, and German- gave educational and entertaining programs. They served to increase the member’s knowledge of languages, customs, and countries and gave a great deal of pleasure to those being entertained.

Girls’ Club, the largest and oldest organization in Danville lligh School, proved its worth to the school in many ways. Its friendly, likeable atmosphere helped both old and new girls enjoy their school life more, and its ideals and airs gave them all something for which to strive. I hen there were the Christmas Party given for the poor children and the loan fund maintained by the club for the aid of needy girls in school, only a few examples of the generosities and activities of Girls’ club. It also sponsored the All-School Parties which we all enjoyed so much during the year. The girls in this club spread friendliness and good cheer and certainly serve the school in this wav.

Meetings were held twice a month with members designing and making posters and pictures for various organizations in the school. Many fine artists were discovered through this club. Around Christmas time the annual Art Club Christmas party was held in the high school cafeteria with all members joining in the gay and cheerful mood. WORTH WHILE WRITERS Poems, short stories, compositions, and all other kinds of writings were discussed and also written at the meetings of the Worth While Writers Club. This club was open to all students in high school. Membership was determined by each student presenting an original work to the club to be judged. Some of the members became fairly good writers, improving by practice. 'I'he students got much enjoyment from this club and were encouraged to strive for better form and thought in their writings. CHANCES TO SHOW IDEAS ARE GIVEN HERE, HOME ECONOMICS CLUB H o m e Economics Club was a club organized for girls interested in sewing, cooking, and homemaking. Through its interesting meetings and parties, it furthered the girls' education along these lines. The foods department furnished the refreshments for the parties and the clothing department gave a style show. The clothes worn at this time were the ones made by the girls in class. Everyone attending this club had a chance to see what the other girls were doing in limn ■ economics. In this way they learned many helpful and interesting facts. Cabin,-t first row—Starkey.

The broadcasts were put on almost entirely by the students, and during the year the various clubs, publications and productions were the themes of the programs. Tryouts were held at the beginning of the year to determine who would be on the staff. The staff gains a lot of experience by this work and adds much to the prestige of Danville High.

Membership is restricted to those students who have four year averages of ninety or above. '1 he society is a local one, with membership given to Danville High School students only. These seniors of 1940 are the charter members and we feel they have gained something special from their four years in Danville High. Honor Society certainly encourages students to do better work and provides a real reward for those who succeed. DEBATES CLIMAX SPEECH CLUB’S YEAR WRANGLERS Cabinet, left to riijlit Pouts, R.

Wranglers Club has served the school loyally since its founding in 1910 and is the second oldest club in school. Under its able officers the club year 1940-1941 was an active one for all members. The Wranglers held meetings, gave parties, and presented the annual Thanksgiving Day assembly. The last big event of the Wranglers’ year was sponsoring the Inter-Class debates. Student ideas on world affairs are aired each year by freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior debaters. These yearly debates, sponsored by Wranglers Club, are usually on some national or international question. The student opinions are interesting and often reflect public opinion. Each class was represented by two regular debaters and one alternate, who were chosen on the merits of their tryout speeches. Since the debates were formal, only the finals were held in the auditorium before the students. After the finals the judges announced the winning team. Eater the names of these students were engraved on the Inter - Class Debate Cup. The opportunity to have these debates is one that all students regard very highly and look forward to each year.

MORE NEWLY ORGANIZED CLUBS APPEAL TO TRIPLE A T h i s organization w a s formed at the end of the spring semester last year and has grown rapidly since its start. The boys have shown an active interest in the future of their club, which more than insures its success as one of our permanent organizations. Interesting meetings were held throughout the year and at Christmas a joint party between Phyllis Wheatley and Triple A was given. The purpose of this club was to interest the boys in joining other school organizations and getting them to take a more active part in school life. Officers, first r tc-- Derrickson, A. (Pres.).

These girls obtained a great deal of enjoyment from their meetings and parties and had a reputation for giving very instructive and entertaining programs. Their slogan, “as a Girl Reserve I will try to face life squarely,” and their purpose, ‘ to find and give the best,” helped them to develop mentally, spiritually, and physically.

This hobby must be a very enjoyable one, for the members of this new organization show lots of enthusiasm for their work. At the same time that the boys are enjoying themselves, they are also learning much information of value about airplanes. We hope that the membership in this club will increase, and that it will soon be a well established club in school. MODEL AIRPLANE EXHIBIT The exhibit at the right is one put on by the Model Airplane Club this last year. Near the end of the year there was an exhibit in the north hall which was an interesting and colorful display of different types of model airplanes. Everyone in school enjoyed these displays a great deal. It is things like these that make Danville High School more interesting. THE MAROON AND WHITE STAFF PREPARED MAROON AND ADVISER, MR. FAULK. “Prof! When’s this story due? Shall I cover that meeting?” Remarks such as these were often heard in room 244 during roll call and after school.

AND WITH THE AID OF ALL THESE GROUPS JUNIOR STAFF The Junior Staff of the Maroon and White served in two capacities this year. During the first semester it was a training staff, but during the second semester it was put on an equal standard editorially with the main staff. This means that this staff prepared various issues of the Maroon and White and had positions similar to those on the main staff. If there were any vacancies on the main staff, they were filled by the members of this staff. Room 312 was their roll call, and Miss Mielke was their adviser. QUILL AND SCROLL First row— Seymour, R.

However, both scholastic and journalistic requirements must be met, and each membership must be approved by its national officers. The purpose of this international organization is to recognize outstanding work done in high school publications. The two publications in Danville High School are the Maroon and White and the Medley. The students on these two staffs worked hard so that thev would be eligible for Quill and Scroll. This society encourages students to become better journalists and rewards those who succeed in this field. SERVED THE SCHOOL WELL DURING 1940-41 CUB BEPORTERS The Cul) Staff of the Maroon and White was a training staff It met during roll call in room 308 with Miss Stapp as the adviser. Only part of the staff was in there, but each Monday after school the entire group met with Mr. Faulk for instruction on the interesting subject of journalism. This large staff was permitted to attend the spring picnic of the Maroon and White staffs and those connected with them. Needless to say the ambition of these boys and girls was to make one of the two major staffs. CUB REPORTERS IX ROLL CALL 308 HOME ROOM AGENTS The Home Room Agents, although they were not on the regular Maroon and While staff, were closely connected with it. There was an agent in each roll room to deliver the Maroon and Whites to the subscribers in that particular roll call each Monday morning. I hey also helped the staff by collecting for the subscriptions. A contest was held between the agents in each roll call, and the one who obtained the most subscriptions in his particular roll call as compared to those in other roll calls was awarded a prize.

After some debate the theme, SERVICE, was decided upon, that of course was in September. With this idea in mind. Editor Tom McDonald and his assistants set their respective staffs to work. They tried to base everything on this one idea; naturally all plans and copy were subject to the approval or disapproval of the staff advisers. School staff, left to rig! t—Gallanis, C..

Occasionally, parents were invited so that they could see what the girls were doing in athletics. This club sponsored Good Posture Week, at which time it gave a prize to the roll call having the best poster on good posture. The purpose of this club was to promote, among the girls in school, better health and also to try and interest them in athletics. Third row—Alkire. B.. McCord. M . Shoemaker. I)., Smith, I,..

WHOSE MEMBERS HAVE SHOWN EXCELLENT GIRLS All during the school year the Girls’ Gym and the athletic field were filled with girls interested in sports. Among the outdoor sports they played were hockey, tennis, archery, soccer, and baseball. The indoor sports were basketball, swimming, volleyball, table tennis, and box hockey. These sports were taught in the gym classes and also after school. TENSE MOMENT MISS COOKE AND MISS BOCK CONVERSE FUN IN GYM CLASS TALENT IN THESE TYPES OF RECREATION ATHLETICS This year the Girls’ Athletic Department, along with the boys’ swimming team, put on the water carnival, “Kickapoo Kapers”. The annual ice skating trip to Urbana was one of the highlights of the winter activities. The girls also went to other schools for play days and were hosts to some who came here. The annual buddy breakfast held in the spring of the year closed the athletic season for the girls. IRC YOU A SUMS, SLOW, OR SLUMP?

Its pttr pose has been to make everyone “pep” conscious. The club had approximately one hundred girl members and one hundred boy members, with a girl and a boy president. It sponsored pep assemblies in the auditorium and gym, chartered busses to the out-of-town games, and gave the “Cherry Tree Twirl” after the Urbana game here. At the end of the year it gave a banquet, at which time the athletes, honored guests, received their awards for winter sports.

Included in this program are eight major sports. They are'varsity football, cross country, varsity basketball, swimming, wrestling, track, tennis, and golf. From these sports a boy has the opportunity of earning his letter, a “D”, or points toward this letter. The earning of the “D” means that the boy has given an outstanding performance during a complete season of actual competition in any of the above sports. In addition to the competitive requirement, an athlete must fulfill the following: proper attitude toward the school, faithfulness in practice, ability as a player, and a degree of scholarship sufficient to meet all eligibility requirements. Thus it is quite an achievement and a great honor to win a “D”. There are also two reserve sports in this program. They are reserve football and reserve basketball. These two are primarily for freshmen and sophomores who require training before making the varsity squad. In this stage a boy may earn points toward a letter. With this type of system in effect it would seem that any boy could find a sport at which he could earn his I)” and such is the case at Danville High School. Sports in the past few years have met with great success in our school. Much of the credit is due to our athletic director, Ned V. Whitesell, under whose guidance athletics have progressed to their highest known point. Characterizing the teams which Mr. Whitesell has turned out is their fighting spirit and will to win. An athlete having had Mr. Whitesell’s and other D. H. S. coaches’ training naturally has an advantage over the average graduate for he has learned many fundamental rules including sportsmanship that will be of great help in his future life. Thus we might sav that athletics in D. H. S. exemplifies in the truest form how Danville High School serves its students. In the following section. Vying with Foes for Athletic Recognition, we shall see the teams that did vie during the 1940-41 season and just how successful they were in winning recognition.

Despite several set-backs, and the loss of several hard fought battles, the team never lost heart. Under Sam Haun’s able leadership and Coach V hitescll's guidance, the boys continued to improve throughout the season, won a good share of games, and always gave a good account of themselves on the hardwood floor. The fans will long remember such games as the Champaign game, which the Maroons lost by one point, and the Wat-seka game, which the Maroons won despite many prophecies of their defeat. The season was culminated by the fine showing in the regional tournament, the team going into the sectional tournament. Basketball had, perhaps, the second largest attendance of any high school sport which gave it innumerable opportunities to serve the school and let the students' loyalty to their alma mater be shown.

Winning eight of its ten scheduled matches, it defeated Champaign, Big 12 champions, twice, Paris, lu ce, Bloomington, Lincoln, Decatur, and Proviso. Its two defeats came at the hands of the strong Wiley High of Terre Haute team. In tournament competition the net-ters were forced to settle for rnntier-up honors in both the district and Big 12. However, both tournaments were very closely contested, as Danville needed but one point for the District Championship and two points for the Big 12 Championship. Captain McDonald and Captain-elect McGrath made the best showing of any of the boys in the tournaments. They finished with first place honors in the district doubles and runner-up honors in the Big 12 doubles. By winning the district the boys qualified for the state tournament held at Champaign. Here, after reaching the second round, they were eliminated by an Oak Park team who were successful in winning their third straight state doubles championship. During the 1(H1 season the tennis squad should give a very good account of themselves for all the boys will be returning. BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Boy’s Athletic Association was a club open to all boys in high school. One of the club’s chief duties was helping to select the boys whose efforts had won them a “D”. The officers of the club along with the principal of the school, the Dean of Boys, the athletic director, and the captains of the various teams contributed to the final decision. This club also helped to promote better sportsmanship among the boys in school. Officers, left to right—Derrickson, A. (Pres.), Wayland, V., Carter, C., Campbell, J. ETIC ORGANIZATIONS BAA.

Danville High, as the others, serves as a foundation for the teaching, development and improvement of the democratic ways. As proof of this statement one needs only to look at the average graduate of a public high school. He is intelligent, a good citizen, and a firm believer in the principles of democracy. Furthermore, in some way he is serving his commu-nitv. Thus one can readily see the value and service rendered by our high schools in developing this type of citizen. Another important service given by D. H. S. is the preparation of its students for their future vocations. Whether the student wishes to go on to college and further his education or wishes to obtain employment immediately following graduation, courses are offered in our high school which will help him in gaining a sound foundation necessary in the business world today. However school life does not consist of merely the development of the student in mind and body, but also the pleasure obtained during school hours. Since this thought will be developed more thoroughly in the next section it is only appropriate to sav that friendships made with school chums often result in lifetime companionship. Thus in this short section of the book, not only actual school classes during school hours will be shown but also various activities in which students participate immediately after school. DURING SCHOOL HOURS WE STRIVE FOR AN ACADEMIC AND VOCATIONAL FOUNDATION 0 0 0 Parties, dances, banquets and picnics all highlighted by school assemblies and special productions mean but one thing. That is enjoyment. In Danville High one needs not look far before finding it for the social calendar is filled with numerous events from early September until the Tune graduation. In early fall students enjoy initiation banquets and parties for the new members of the different clubs and organizations in our school. At the same time other organizations enjoy picnics and hikes to start the year off right. As time moves on many after school, after game, and special dances are sponsored mainly by the Girls’ Club, Girls’ Athletic Association, and the Booster Club. The first of the two annual All-School Parties sponsored by the Girls’ Club features this season. At the right can be seen the climax of the first All-School Party this year. Moving on to the winter season the limelight turns to the holiday seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many special events including parties, dances, and banquets are staged at this time. The Dramatic Club seems to be most predominate during this period with their annual Christmas banquet and the presentation of their annual Dramatic Club Play. The play this year was “Young April.” With spring in the air the social events in DHS really blossom forth. Into this period are crowded the always entertaining musical production this year entitled “Moments Musical of 1941,” the water carnival, “Kickapoo Kapers,” the second All-School Party, the Junior-Senior Prom, and hosts of others climaxed for the seniors with Commencement. In addition to these seasonal treats many enjoyable outside and school planned assemblies are given which add to the enjoyment of Danville High School’s social life. i IN OUR OWN UNIQUE AND INFORMAL STYLE CHEm ■RUGCl TTERS BOOTH QtEGR AND GimPSES OF 0 ■JOHNNY ECKERT r WINI RANDALL (Scarlett quara) 9 9 9 rrniced It has become an established tradition in Danville High School to let the Medley serve as an autograph book as well as a record of school events. At the time of the distribution of the Medleys in the spring the students gather in groups long after school hours in order to exchange their signatures and a few pleasant words in writing with their friends and teachers. The types of autographs usually vary in length front the very common “Good luck in the future” type to the lengthy and descriptive lettei ty pe. Since a student usually wishes to see how many autographs he can collect, the first type mentioned seems to be more popular. However, in the case of close friendship between individuals the latter or letter type is usually preferred. This may be because it gives a person a better chance to recall his experiences obtained during his high school days. The Medley staff of 1941 realizes that it is practically impossible to deal with all sides of the students’ high school life and therefore, it has set aside this section of the book for the students of Danville High School lor their own personal use with the hope that they, in any manner desirable, may7 record their own personal memories which they might wish to preserve in the future. As we say good-bye to you, the reader of the 1941 Medley, we wish to be the first to autograph your book as you see has been done on the opposite page.
