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.
