Danville High was a busy place, but it looked quiet to Freddie as he saw it from the air. 2,200 Students As in the picture above, Danville High looked quiet during school hours. Actually, this was a place of perpetual motion in the daytime. The wheels of learning were in con- stant motion while extra-curricular activities also made their dent in the lives of those connected with DHS.

Page Szx Began A Profitable Danville High welcomed eight new teach- ers to the class-rooms including two more in the guidance office. This was the last year that DHS would be a four year high school. Next year those 600 freshmen will be scattered among the three Iunior Highs along with the seventh and eighth graders. This was also the last year that we reg- istered for our classes ourselves. Next year the job will be done for us by machinery.
