The Year Nineteen Hundred Four Marks An Epoch In The History Of The Danville High School, The Establishment Of An Annual. With The Second Volume, Now Issued By The Class Of 1905, We Think That "The Medley" Has Become A Permanent Feature Of High School Life. A Graduating Class Can Bequeath Nothing Better To The School It Leaves Than A Good Annual The Influence Of Such A Publication Is Wider And More Pronounced Than That Of A Single Gift, For Each Student May Possess An Individual Copy Which He Will Cherish Forever. The Annual Promotes Interest In The School, Good Fellowship Among The Members, And A Sense Of Responsibility In The Senior Class. Therefore, We Consider "The Medley" Beneficial To The Interest And To The Improvement Of The School.

Colors: Old Gold And Black
Yell: Aligaroo! Garah! Garoo! Rickety-Kex! Hullabaloo! Sis! Boom! Coxy-Malive! Danville High School! 1905!
History Of The Class Of 1905
We Started In By Commencing, A Very Good Way To Begin. Moreover, We Began All By Ourselves--"Nostra Sponte"--In A Perfectly Correct Manner In September, 1901--So No One Can Attach To Himself The Honor Of Discovering Us. And Now That We Have Ended In Just As Correct A Manner, It Is Only Right That We Leave Behind Us A Record Of The Few Footprints We Have Made In The Sands Of High School Life.
We Spent Most Of The Freshman Year In Watching And Waiting. We Were Just Ordinary Looking Freshmen, And Did Not Astound The Faculty By Any Promises Of Future Greatness. We Watched The Older Pupils To Find How Much They Were Getting Out Of Life, And Waited For The Time When We Could Go Them One Better. Meanwhile We Crawled Through Two Terms Of Algebra, And Came Back The Next Fall As Sophomores, Fully Prepared To Take Advantage Of Anything Coming Our Way.
In Our Own Opinion We Were Very Wise Indeed, But In Reality We Had Much To Learn. "Billy" Berry And A Few Other Dramatic Stars Loomed Up, And The Record Of The Literary Societies Began To Shine With The Names Of 1905. Aside From This, The Year Was Uneventful. The Tide Leading On To Fortune Came In Our Junior Year. We Took It At The Flood And Organized Our Class According To Precedent. "Shorty" Swarthout Was President, And Served Our Little Ship Of State In A Most Praiseworthy Manner. Can We Ever Forget Her Little "Spiel,""Seems Carried, And 'Tis Carried?" The Boys Insisted That We Select Prominent Colors, Partly For The Sake Of The Near-Sighted Seniors, So, Following Their Advice, We Have Always Been Loyal To Old Gold And Black. We Had All Kinds Of Fun That Fall; Hayracks, Picnics, Class Football Games And Parties, Both Our Own And The Seniors, For We Always Attended The Latter's Stayed For Refreshments, Tied The '04 Boys To Telephone Post And Occasionally Went Home In Carriages.
As Spring Came On We Elected Our Medley Staff, And Organized A Base-ball Team Which At The End Of The Season Had Won The Inter-Class Championship. In Connection With This, The '05 Girls Had Gained A Reputation For Rooting Which They Never Lost.
Other Classes May Have Contained Better Scholors Than 1905. We Never Pretended To Be Intellectual, But In Leaving We Feel That We--Perhaps More Than Any Other Class--Have Blended Together All The Phases Of Our School Life Into One Harmonious Whole, Which Will Awaken A Precious Memory In After Life, Bringing To Our Minds The Beloved Old
