Schoolcraft, our assistant prin- cipal and Dean of Boys, has shown his artistic ability in designing many of the clever posters and slogans used throughout the school. His insight into student problems made his coun- seling indispensable to the school. Miss Helen Thompson was kept busy not only with her duties as Dean of Girls, but also as adviser for Y-Teens and Student Council. Our guidance director and assistant prin- cipal, Mr. E. A. Bates, was very helpful to those students seeking advice on college, apti- tude tests, high school requirements, or grad- uation. The attendance office and the principal's ollice checked all records and kept the school functioning properly. Mr. Orr talked on the phone while, over his shoulder, Mrs. Hall and Judy Haas read the notes he took. Page Nineteen

Page Eigllfffll The number of hours spent by the High School Administration keeping our school functioning properly is beyond our realiza- tion. Because of its active interest and patient understanding of our school and its activities, we grew to respect their decisions and judg- ments. Checking records and helping solve the unexpected daily problems required much of the administration officials' time. The beginning of a new decade saw Mr. Milhon with twelve years of service to DHS. During these years, Mr. Milhon has gained the admiration and respect of both the faculty and the student body because of the inany services he has rendered to DHS in con- stantly striving to improve our facilities. ive all appreciated his understanding and his ex- cellent guidance.

A., l Three R' Ma tered at Danville llig tempt, but English students learned that they could never be too familiar with our language. The more they became acquainted with Eng- lish, the more they grew to enjoy it. Three years of English was required of all pupils at Danville High. The first year of English was an i tensified study of principles learned in t e grade schools. In the second year, the basic funda- mentals were continued with Shakes eare tak- ing the spotlight for a period. Spec h, taught in the second semester, was one of the most valuable courses taught at DHS. junior English students studied the prose and poetry of American Literature. Many industrious seniors divided their tim between English Literature and Senior Gram ar. Most seniors taking just one English cours were in Senior Grammar that they might r view the basic rules of grammar and review t eir rules for writing themes. Page Twenty
