1907

Forward

In The Publishing Of The Medley, The Real Purpose Is To Establish A Medium Between The Student Body Of The High School And The Public Interested In Its Actions.
Considering The Fact That The First Medley Was Printed But Three Years Ago, In The Spring Of Nineteen Hundred And Four, And The Approval With Which It Has Been Received Upon Publication Since That Time, We Feel That The Medley Will Soon Come Up To The Highest Expectations. It Is Also Well To Keep In Mind That The Reputation Of This Or Any Other High School Is Raised Or Lowered By The Annual It Presents--Thus, A Heavy Responsibilty Rest Upon Those Composing The Medley Staff, In That They Must Keep The Standard Of The Danville High School Above Par, By Editing An Interesting And Well Balanced Annual.
In The 1907 Medley, We Are Conscious Of The Fact That All The Above Requirements Have Not Been Fulfilled, But At The Same Time We Have Striven To That End And Have Always Given Precedence To Anything Which Will Add To The Welfare Of The School.
Prior To The Year Nineteen Hundred And Seven, The Medley Has Been The Solitary Publication Issued By High School Students. The Question Of Having A Monthly Paper Published Has Often Been Debated Upon And Pronounced To Be Impossible, But Our Principal Kept Things Moving In That Direction, Until His Object Has Been Achieved. "The Maroon And White," A Publication "By The Students And For The Students," Will Appear Before The Close Of The Year. It Will Tend To Promulgate A Closer Fraternal Feeling Between The Student, Strengthen The Influence Of The School, And Act As A Splendid Training School For The Publishing Of The Medley.
Any Who Have Aided In Some Way, No Matter How Much Or How Little, In The Production Of This Volume, Have Our Sincere Thanks And Our Deepest Gratitude.
As We Move Aside To Make Room For The Next Class, There Is That Sense Of Satisfaction That Comes Of Doing A Good Work And Making It Easier For Those Coming After.

Our Future Monthly
"The Maroon And White," A Monthly Magazine To Be Published By The Students Of The Danville High School, Is Directly Due To The Efforts Of Our Principal, Z.M. Smith, Who Has Been Advocating The Edition Of Some Sort Of Paper, Ever Since His Arrival In Danville. Finally In The First Part Of April, The Plans Were Completed And The Election Of A Staff Was Left To A Committee Of Ten, Composed Of The President And Secretary Of Each Class And Two Members Of The Faculty. The Staff Chosen Was:
Raymond Southworth, 09- Editor In Chief
Edwin McCord, 08- Business Manager
Assistants;
Marion Ferris- Junior Class
Walter Kiningham- Sophomore Class
Calhoun Swallow- Freshman Class
Earl Max Scharf, 08- Athletic Edition
Lola Olmstead, '08- Literary Editor
Bernard Austin, '08- News Editor
Flavilla Grant, '94- Alumni Editor

The Monthly Will Have Seven Issues During The School Year--The Months In Which Examinations Come Were Omitted As They Would Not Give The Staff Enough Time To Do Proper Justice To Their Work.
With The Above Mentioned Staff Running Things, The Publication Of "The Maroon And White" Should Be Attended By Success, In Every Particular.
