NEW

TRAINING ‘

SCHOOL BUILDING
IS DEDICATED

DR. BRIGGS DELIVERS ADDRESS

A capacity audience attended the
dedicatory exercises of the new Edu-
cation Building, in which the Train-
ing School is housed. last Friday
afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The exer—
cises were a part of the Educational
Conference which was held here Oc-
tober 24—25.

Although Gov. Flem D. Sampson
was unavoidably absent President
McVey accepted the building on be-
hlf of the University. The speakers
of the day were Dr. Thomas H.
Briggs of Columbia University and
Dr. Frank P. Bachman of George
Peabody College for Teachers. Dr.
Briggs‘ subject was "Fashions in
Education.“ and that of Dr. Bach—
man was “The Teacher of Tomor—
row.

Representatives of various educa-
tional and civic bodies were guests
of honor. Among them were, Mayor
James J. O'Brien, Dr. Henry Hill.
city superintendent of schools. and
Prof. D. Y. Dunn. superintendent
of Fayette County schools.

The entire building was open to
visitors during the afternoon.

Faculty Increased

Four teachers have been added to ‘

the faculty of U. H. this year. Mr.
Keffer comes to us from Ashland,
Kentucky where he has been teach-
ing the past two years. He is a
member of the class of ’27 of the
University of Kentucky, a Phi Beta
Kappa, and an all-round good fel-
low.

Mr. Keffer likes baseball and was
for the Athletics in the World Ser—
ies. He also likes football and we
think he is fine even if he does pull
down the shades so that the mem-
bers of his class cannot see the big
fires.

The new dean of girls is Miss
Martha Shipman. She teaches Sev-
enth and Eighth Grade Social
Science and English and claims Ar-
kansas as her native state. Her alma
mater is the University of Arkansas.
Upon being asked if she ever gets
lonesome. Miss Shipman replied.
"Yes, every evening at six o'clock I
am lonesome for my mother.”

Miss Rogers and Miss Griffin are ‘

the new home economics teachers.
Miss Rogers is a graduate of Union

College and Miss Griffin is a grad- i

uate of our own University of Ken-
tucky.

We welcome all of these new in-
structors and hope they are really
proud they are with us.

Junior Rotarians

At convocation on October 9 Mrf

Sherman G. Creighton

Mr. Sherman G. Crayton, who is
a native of Plainfield, Indiana, came
to us as head of the Training School
at. the opening of the fall semester.
Mr. Crayton is a gradute of Frank-
lin College and is now completing
work for his doctorate. He has had
wide experience in the public school
systems of Indiana.

Mr. Crayton is a member of the
honorary fraternity Pi Delta Kappa
and also a member of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon. He is joint author with
Dean Smith of Indiana University
of "Tentative Program for Teaching
World Friendship and Understand-
ing." This book was published last
June and has been translated into
thirty different languages.
Frands‘ Association of America is
now trying to buy the right to re-
print it.

At present Mr. Crayton is working
with Dean Smith on another book
which will be off the press the first
of March. This book deals with the
contributions of various nations to
civilization,

The school is fortunate in having
such an able man as its head.

New Organization
‘ Student Council members were
lchosen by the students of the school
‘Wednesday, October 15 in a special
home-room period after convoca-
tion.
i In the Senior Class, Dorothy Wil—
liams and Frank Langley were se-
(lected. James Irvine and Billy Mon-
ahan from the Junior Class; Vir-
ginia Robinson and Rex McSweeney
from the Sophomore Class; Robert
iStiltz. Freshman Class, Kenneth
lCobb. Eighth Grade and Ralph
jMohney. Seventh Grade.
J The purpose of this organization
[is not to show discipline, but on the
contrary. the real aim for which it
1will strive is to develope a more dis—
‘tinct feeling of citizenship in each
jindividual student and the group as
ja whole; to promote scholarship and
gleadership in ctivities; and in gen—
;eral to encourage higher ideals and
,better our school to the best of its
;ability.
The officers elected by the council
imembei's are as follows: Rex Mc-
éSweeney. president; Virginia Robin—
son, vice president; Jimmie Irvine,
,secretary, and Frank Langley, treas—
,‘urer.
1 We are sure every one in school
lreally wants the council to be a suc-
cess, and although it is shouldering
lthe main responsibility, it needs the
“whole—hearted cooperation of each
:pupil in school.

GIRL RESERVE

Peak. who has charge of all thei

Y. M. C. A. work on the campus,

talked to us about a Junior Rota—
rian. The Rotary Club has a meet—
ing every Thursday and each boy
elected attends four meetings. The
plan is to have all the Junior Ro-
tarians at one big meeting in May.

A spirited election was held and
"Sonny" Bishop was chosen to rep-
resent U. H. as first Junior Rota-
rian.

Mr. Peak told us that the Rotary
Club intends to have a Junior Ro-
tarian from all the High Schools in
Lexington and Fayette County.

Conversation is listening to your—
self in the presence of others.

i Thre meetings of the Girl Re-
serves, U. H. S. branch, have been
held since the beginning of the
school year under the direction of
Miss Peck, the recently elected
sponsor.

The Girl Reserves will aid in the
Y. W. C. A. financial drive this year.
Two delegates, Mary Heizer and
Virginia Robinson, have been chosen
to attend the Girl Reserve Confer-
ence which will be held at Danville,
Kentucky November 14-16.

Convocation ,

nate to have as its convocation
speaker a wok ago Wednesday. John
Y. Brown. This popular young law~

‘lyer addressed the students on the‘.

‘gsubject of the Kentucky Legislature.
mud explained to them some of the
racy. .ziimrtant bills 1.11090st at its
last session. As representative from
this district, he was well fitted for
these explanations and each girl
and boy not only better understood
the government of his home state,
but was more interested in it, after
Mr. Brown’s talk.

While the program mentioned
above was probably the “high spot"
in the convocation programs so far,
they have all been most entertain-
ing and worth while. One time Riley
Scott read us some of his poems,
and the beauty of them and his
pleasing personality quite won ev-
eryone‘s heart. The meeting before
that, Mr. Peak. who has charge of
all the Y. M. C. A. work on the U. of
K. campus, presented a plan to the
Senior Class. His plan was that
some boy from the Senior Class be
elected a Junior “Rotarian.” He
would attend each of the Rotary
Club meetings for a month. At the
end of this time, a new boy would
be chosen to perform the duties of
the first. This election will take
:place the first of each month, giving
nine boys the opportunity of meet-
ing the Lexington Rotarians. This
plan met with the approval of all
concerned and "Sonny” Bishop was

 

selected as the first Junior Rotarian

to represent this school.
No one should like convocation

because it lets them out from a class i

or dislike it for that reason. For it is

just as important a part of an edu— '

cation as the school room activities.
It is a great privilege and one of
which every boy and girl should
take advantage.

ORCHESTRA

3 University High really has an or—
1chestra. We don’t know how good
:it will be, but if it continues to pro-
!gress the way it has been progress—
ling, we hope to furnish the school
33. great deal of pleasure.

‘ Miss Wilson is our competent di-
grector and she has planned an in-
:‘teresting program for the year.

1 We have a brass section consisting
jof three Clarinets, three comets, two
saxophones and two trombones. The

FANS LOOK FOR HARD GAME

(By (‘arI-oll Fisher!

A driving rain Monday afternoon

On Tuesday Coach
Kcmper dished out a hard scrim-
mage between the first and second
t-ums. Glass carried the ball 16

1times from scrimmage with a. net
lresult of 91 yards, an average of 6

ards per trial.

Little is no accident on the Pur-
ple squad, playing his third year
and is desirous of making a good

1against Cynthiana.

The Purple mentor noted the
,swiftness of Roberson, a regular

tackle, and shifted him to half.
making an understudy to Langley.

In Wednesday‘s practice he was

here, there and everywhere, wig—
‘gling his hips in a manner that

would put Gilda. Gray to shame.

Roberson was not the whole show.

however, as the line opened holes
,tlmt resembled an old block of
Swiss cheese. The guard positions,
‘however, have been a weakness in

the defensive wall, but from now on
there will be a fight for this honor

tackle positions are well filled with
Yankee and Shipley.

Coach Kemper is taking the usual
squad of twenty, including Mana-

Impressions Of
A New Student

My impressions of University High
are very favorable.

The building is one of the most
beautiful on the cainpus. The plan
of the building is very new and mod—
ern. The only fault which I can find
with the building is that the stair—
ways are too narrow.

While the grounds are still in need
of improvement. there is a. chance
to make them the prettiest on the
campus.

Each member of the faculty seems
to be doing his work well with the
interest of the students at heart. As
this is my first experience with
practice teachers, I am not as yet
able to give my opinions of them.

The kindness with which my 1e1-
low students received me and their
friendly attitude dispelled all fears
which I held on entering a. new
school. Their school spirit is as good
as I have ever seen in any school I
have attended.

HI-Y

Due to football and many other
activities of the school, no action
has been taken toward the meeting
of the University Hi-Y Club. Just
as soon as possible a meeting will
be held and plans for the coming
season discussed. The following of-
ficers were elected at the last meet—
mg of the past year:

Jack Baker—President.

Howard Welch—Vice President.

Bob Elder—Secretary.

D. C. Kemper—Sponsor.

We have for many years in Uni-
versity High School edited a school
paper. It has been a mineographed
magazine type of paper, containing
moer feature material than news.
We all worked hard on it but we
felt we were greatly handicapped
when we read our splendid ex-
changes from other Kentucky
schools. Really there was little in
our publication to inspire us to
greater efforts.

«~~Bat«new allthis has changed and
we are prepared to be able to offer
for your approval, this thirty-first
day of October. 1930, a rejuvenated
U. Iii-Lights. It is, and will be
throughout this school year and we
hope many other school years, a
five—column, four—page p r in t e d
paper, financed by advertising, sub-
scriptions and student fees.

We have in mind for this year’s
work, three primary aims which we
intend to keep before us and you all
year. The first is to record for you
faithfully and truthfully the events
of our schol life. The second is to
reflect clearly the opinions of the
student body and to make ourselves
useful to them in every way. The
third is to build and maintain a
school spirit which will surpass that
of all other schools. And so we hope
this year to make the U. Hi-Lights,
which is your paper as well as ours,
a vital force in the life of our school
and in the lives of each of you as
individuals.

__,_._._.._.—

Patronize our advertisers! This is
the first time the U. Hi-Lights has
called upon the students to support
our advertisers, for until the pub
lication of this issue, ads were not
used. But since we are giving you a
printed paper and the business

firms of the city are so willinglyl

supporting us, is it not fair to ask
you to give them something in re-
turn? They deserve our patronage
and remember they are helping us.

Most of us go to shows, depart-

ment stores, drug stores, etc. So if,

there is any reason to visit them
more, do so in order to encourage
our advertising. Help us, our friends
who advertise, and yourselves by pa«
tronizing those who patronize us.

______________————-—

Do you think of the U. Hi-Lights
as your school paper or as the staff’s
paper? We certainly hope that all
of you have the former attitude, but
if you have not, may we have your
attention for a minute?

This paper is “of the students, for
the students, and by the students.”
(Apologies to Mr. Lincoln.) This
means you! We, the staff, are mere—
1y your representatives, your “mega-
phones" in a sense. This gives to us
a weighty responsibility, and one
which we hope to be able to shoul~
der well.

Just because you are not on the
staff is not a sign that the paper
doesn't need you. It does. It needs
all the friends it can have, friends,
who will not only show their loyal-
ty to the paper, and through it to
the school, by subscribing to it, but
who will talk it up and'back it up
and write for it. Yes, we mean
write! Our reporters are hard work-
ing news gatherers but they can not
cover every item which would in-
terest our rapidly widening circula—
tion list. So we are depending on
you to help them. Not only this, but
we would be most happy to wel-
lcome any suggestions from you as
. to how to improve the U. Hi-Lights.
‘If you will cooperate with us and let
l

us cooperate with you, we are sure

l SUNSET

 

= By Katherine Mansfield

A beam of light was shaken out of
the sky

On to the brimming tide, and there
it lay

Palely tossing like a creature con-

1 demned to die

Who has loved the bright day.

"Ah, who are these that
through the shadowy air?"

She cries, in agony. “Are they com-

‘ ing for me?"

[The big waves croon to her: “Hush
now! There—now—there!

There is nothing to see,"

wing

But her white arms lift to cover
her shining head

And she presses close to the waves
make herself small. . . .

On their listless knees the beam of
light lies dead,

And the birds of shadow fall.

 

IMMORTELLE

 

By Bliss Carman
My glorious enchantress,
She went in silken hose,
With swaying hip andfiurvingrup
And little tilted nose,
As full of fragrant fire
As any English rose.

Her voice across the morning.

Like olden balladry

Or magic notes from woodland
throats,

It laid a spell on me

As wondrous as the west wind

And haunting as the sea.

She might have walked with Chau-
cer

A—jesting all the way.

Her figure trim a joy to him.

Her beauty like the day,

[With that unfailing spirit

lWhich nothing can dismay.

 

 

 

Her heart was full of caring,

Her eyes were touched with dream.
In happy birth, in noble worth.

I thought that she did seem

As' fair as Kentish roses

:And rich as Devon cream.

I

,I loved her airy carriage,

.Her bearing clean and proud,
,When glad and fond she looked be-
t yond

lThe plaudits of the crowd,
‘:Or when in prayer or sorrow
lHer comely head was bowed.

I loved her eerie piping
10f measures without name.
lWild as a faun at rosy dawn,
lOut of the crowd she came
lTo breathe upon old altars

EA fresh untroubled flame.

II loved her lyric ardor,

\Her chosen words and dress,
'Her dryad’s face, her yielding grace,
~Her glowing waywardness,

Her deep adoring passion

‘No careless eye would guess.

And all the while as lovely

’As early daffodils,

‘When woodland Spring comes blos-
i soming

,Among the western hills,

iAnd from her trailing garments
1A mystic glory spills.

. 0 sorceress of raptures

Beyond the dream of art,

‘ Be still our guide to walk beside
iAnd choose the better part-—
Thou lyric of enchantments
.Thou flower of Nature’s heart!

‘Purples Spank

 

(By Carroll Fisher)

Forty degrees above zero. a rip
roaring wind, and University High
swept through the city of Cynthiana
without losing its velocity.

Captain Glass, one of the main
cogs in Kemper’s scoring machine,
penetrated the Bulldogs‘ line for a
touchdown in the first quarter. The
try for the extra point fell too short.
This tally was due to a poor place-
ment on the opening kick-off, when
Cynthiana booted the ball only 8
yards and John Baker recovered it.

Durng the second qurter, “Sonny"

‘ ney made a beautiful block, and sent
lone of the Bulldogs to the ground.
Bishop was running toward the goal,
but the safety man met him face to
face. From out of an unclear field,
Hillard sprang up and made a body
block that sent the Cynthiana quar-
terback sprawling to the ground.
Bishop now had a clear field and
ran for the second touchdown of the
game.

Coach Pete Kemper has not yet
discovered a Red Grange or B0 Mc-
Millan. but will not be dissatisfied

in cooperation as it has up to this
date. The first game was a victory
over Falmouth, by a score of 9-7.
“Rabbit” Little and “Dave" Griffith
shared honors in this tilt. In the
second game, the Purples walloped

Hillard began the promenade by
making a touchdown on the opening
kick—off. “Sonny” Bishop snagged a
pass and ran for a touchdown. Cap-
tain Glass may be called a phantom
as he vanishes through the line of
scrimmage. The two games with
Springfield and Corbin turned out
to be perfect Waterloos. In these
two games there was absolutely no
offensive powers shown and very lit-
tle defensive.

University High has certainly
been rewarded by not having any
serious injuries. To the present time
only three casualities have cropped
up in. camp. Floyd Herd has been
lost to the squad because of appen—
dicitis. Robert Olney. a younger
brother of the famous “Windy" Ol-
ney, is suffering with an injured
will probably keep him out of the
finger that was broken in two
places.

Sonny Bishop‘s finger was broken

tilt with the Danville Deaf and
Dumb Institute today. The Pur-
ples will miss his splendid brand
of football.

 

Charles “Chuck” Randal has de—
veloped himself into a tennis player
of future national recognition. Dur-
! ing the past summer months, he has
played number one players and has
3conquered them love games and
isometimes love sets. “Chuck” has
‘almost mastered his serving and
1back hand strokes.

One would think tennis a summer

‘sport but you’d change your opinion
gafter observing Randal’s playing at
120 degrees above zero.
, One early morning last fall, while
Randal was playing tennis, a heavy
,snow began to fall, and being too
lenthused, Randal never realized it
;and several hours later was seen
using his rackets as snow shoes and
,trodding across the university cam-
pus in white trousers.

 

 

WHO WANTS A DOLLAR?

 

1 Yes, who wants a dollar? Proba-
fbly many of you would like to have
fithe dollar, but (yep, there is a
lcatch in it) you will have to ful-
:fill our requirement which is to
get the greatest number of subscrip-
ltions to The U-Hi-Lights.

' Perhaps some of you have not
iheard of the great subcription cam-
jpaign, 0 here is our proposition.
jThe U-Hi-Lights is printed this
lyea'r, thus—it is costing several
lhundred dollars. So———in order to
lraise enough money to finance a
gprinted paper we are putting on a
lsubscription campaign. We have
idistributed subscription forms to all
{students who are willing to solicit
isubscribers outside of school. Now,
!here is an opportunity for you to
earn a dollar and to help your
lschool finance a printed paper.

and get behind your school paper.

LIBRARY

The students of the University

‘ High are given the utmost privileges
‘ in using the library. The large study
room of the library is the most spa-
cious in the building.

The side on the northeast con-
tains some 2,000 volumes, and in-
cludes books of fiction, biography.
travel, science, and language. The
north section has shelves filled with
magazines, and newspapers.

The study room has in it seven
tables and forty-two chairs. The
. handsome charging desk adds great-
‘ ly to the beauty of the room.

‘ Adjoining the main study room
at the north end is the juvenile li-
brary. One would not exagerate by
,saying it is the “cutest" of its kind.

The shelves in this room are filled
with about 400 books, of the newest
editions. This section also has mag—
‘azines that would tempt any one to
read.

In this room may be found five
small tables and thirty chairs built
for the tiny students. The walls are
‘adorned with maps, posters. etc..
lwhich add to the attractiveness of
the room.

The library suite includes also a
jlibrary class room. two conference
rooms, and the office of the libra-
rian.

 

 

LACK OF PRACTISE TEACHERS

 

We were greatly surprised when
the time approached for our prac-
‘tise teachers to appear. to find that
the Senior English had been com-
‘ pletely ignored. Not a single girl or
lboy had chosen to practise on us,
ithe Seniors. This was probably the
‘first instance in the history of the
.school in which the Senior class had
ibeen so slighted. We had to have
an alibi, or it would seem a personal
,insult to the class. It turned out
lthat there was a scarcity of practise
‘teachers all through the high school
,and that we have been utterly de-
iserted by these university student
teachers. We hope, even if we are
,hurt. that theijill be as greatly ap-
preciated in the Elementary School
as they always have been over here.
and that they will find their new
work even more pleasant and profit-
able.

 

U-HIGH TO HAVE TRIO

 

This week a trio was organized
‘by Miss Lenora Wilson who will
|sponsor and direct it. Those chosen
for the parts were, Virginia Robin-
'son, soprano; Cora Holland, alto;
and Charles Spaulding, tenor. Now
don’t feel hurt because you haven’t
been asked to to take part in this
1trio, because Miss Wilson would be
glad to have anyone else who has
a good voice and can read music
reasonably well.

No definite plans have as yet been
made for the trio, but it promises to
lbe quit a success, not only because

a wonderful vocal talent is chosen.
but because of the interest and en—
thusiasm shown by the director and
the members of the trio.

 

 

Elementary School
Is A Part Of Us

During the past semester Janet
Fergus, of the Fifth Grade. has suc-
ceeded in being the only one who
has not missed a word in spelling.
She has also been the only one to
maintain a grade of 100 in history
to the present date.

Members of the Fifth Grade have
been taking up the study of astron-
omy in their science class. Under
the direction of Miss Palmer they
have studied about various planets
and a few of the constellations. Ad—
ded to this interesting subject is a
chart picturing many of the constel-
lation drawn by their teacher.

Every Friday morning the Sixth
Grade students put on an interest-
ing radio program, consisting of
various subjects such as poems, stor-
ies and music. The station is
iU. K. T. S. and its announcer is
Billy Belt.

Monday morning, October 20, the
Fourth Grade gave a play in the
auditorium entitled “Dreams." It
was given in celebration of the op-
ening of the juvenile library. Mem-
bers of the class represented char-
acters in several well known books.
Tom Sawyer, Hans Brinker and Lit-
tle Women were the books which
were dramatized. The audience
guessed from what story the charac—
ters came.

Many interesting activities are be-
ing held by the Fourth Grade. One
of them is a curent event chart held
on every Tuesday. If all the ques-
tions are answered correctly, a blue
circle is placed on the chart. If a
score of “good" is made, a black cir-
cle is placed on it, and a red circle
imeans a grade of “passing."
