24 F 5 Class History The class of '24 entered Danville High School in the fall of 1920. forty-seven in number. We were as green as the green- est and as timid as the timidest. VVe ab- sorbed the drubbing which the upper class- men gave us for an initiation as best We could. Soon after school opened we held a class meeting and elected officers. john Hume was chosen president. Lenore Mar- ting secretary and VVorley lson treasurer. VVe were given a reception by the rest of the school at the club rooms of the Christian church. John made a speech for us there. And at last we settled down to school work. During our first year we took a good part in the activities of the school. Mar- garet Armstrong was 011 the girls' basket ball teamg john Comer and Ben Walker made the boys' team. Several of the boys went out for track but were not able to make the team. Margaret Armstrong and Alice McCoun were on the staff of the Gray and Crimson. Alice entered the music contest and won first place for the school. Elizabeth Haworth captured a third in the reading contest. We held one wiener roast, which was rather unsuccess- ful. We also had a party in the Christian church club rooms. We took the dignity of Sophomorehood the next fall with grace and ease. We judi- ciously directed the Freshmen to the wrong class rooms, and took a very active part in giving them a good initiation. For this year we elected John Hume president againg Margaret Armstrong vice presidentg and Edgar Franklin secretary and treas- urer. Our numbers were slightly dimin- ished. Being full-fledged members of the high school. this year we took even a greater part in the activities of the school. We were loyal supporters of the great basket ball team of that year, and Ben Walker was able to take a place as sub on it. Margaret Armstrong was 011 the girls' team as center. and Ben Walker were on the Joe Gibbs track team, in the first team in many years won the county meet. John that had Hume. our president. entered the discussion contest. and won the right to represent Danville in the county meet. The subject was The Housing Question. He won over Christine Ragland and Homer Clark. john won the county contest. He then went to the district, where he also won. He won sixth place in the state meet. We held a weiner roast as usual. We also helped in the annual reception for the Freshmen at the club rooms. We had a party at the home of Maxine Sears. We came back the Junior year even wiser. VVe were again slightly diminished in numbers. We elected Edgar Franklin presidentg Lenore Marting vice presidentg and Alice McCoun secretary and treasurer. We had David Forsyth for our class spon- recep- sor. We helped in the Freshman tion, both in giving it, and also with several numbers on the program. We held a weiner roast successfully this year. Later we had a party at the home of Donald XVoodward. VVe gave the Senior class a custom, banquet as has always been the excepting that ours was just-a little better than the 01165 before. Ben Walker, Joe Gibbs and john Comer represented us on the basket ball team. They, Emmet Stanley and Cecil Merritt made the track team. john Hume again won the local discussion contest, over Christine Ragland and Donald Woodward. The subject was the Immigration Prob- lem. He lost in the district meet. We came back this year thirty-two in number, as Seniors. Again we have taken part in all activities, and have added one more to the number of activities-the pub- lication of an Annual. With this year, our history as high school students is complete. We hope that we have succeeded. You can't laugh that off, said the offieffr as he adjusted the ball and links
