THREE BITS

 

By Bee Bee
I feel like you look like and feel
like I sound like you feel like we
act when we are here (in short.
here we are) starting out a new
school year with a new principal,
seeing new faces, taking new
classes, and some of us are having
new teachers. On the other hand.
many old friends are gone, and
we‘ll miss some of those old faces
we used to shake hands with ('9).
But, of course, all our mistakes are
behind, time has dulled any sharp
feelings, all petty quarrels are for-
gotten and we're starting out anew.
So let’s work with contentment.
a s it
My friends! It is for no little rea—
son we're puffing up our chests.
It‘s no petty excuse we offer for our
patting ourselves on the back. Great
honour has been granted to us;
last year we were almost unknown,
but now we bear the laurels and
shine in brilliant glory. We have in
our enrollment the actual son of
a candidate for Governor, Mr.
(Shhhhh! Bet it’s the first time he
got that title) Richards Swope (I
had the honor of lending him 20
cents the other day.)
:7: >1: 1‘!

I get quite a few laughs at the
way Mr. Mitchell (No, I wouldn't
even mention his smooth head) gets
his words tangled up. Oh, what
wouldn’t I give to hear him try to
say “rubber buggy bumpers” three
times straight. Or “Still the sink-
ing steamer sunk” or “a bottle of
blue bugs blood.” But I have a sur-
prise next week. Until then, Appy
Heaster. I mean Happy Easter.

MR. WILLIAMS

 

University High welcomes its new
principal, Prof. J. D, Williams. who
took office on the first of Septem-
ber.

Mr. Williams is a native Ken-
tuckian. although he comes to us
from Norris, Tennessee. where he
has been head of the fine schools
in the T. V. A. town throughout
the past year.

Professor Williams is a graduate
of the University of Kentucky and
was a member of the class of ‘26.
He received his master of arts de-
gree from that same institution of
learning in 1929. And so. you see,
he can't be so very old after all!

From 1929 until June of last year
Danville High was headed by Mr.
Williams. At Danville he was well
liked and under him the school had
some of its best years.

Professor Williams is intensely
interested in football. basketball;
vculub, , ‘ ‘ ' ,
intends to put University High on
the map in these sports, as well as
in a scholastic way.

We believe that if the pupils will
get behind Mr. Williams and con—
tinue to cooperate with him in ev-
ery way, University High will have
one of the best years that it has
ever had. Mr. Williams is not try-
ing to make the pupils conform to
a set pattern; he is trying to make
the school conform to the students.

Professor Williams takes the
place of Dr. Sherman G. Crayton
who served at University High five
years. ever since the school has
been situated across the campus in
the new buildings. We want to
wish Mr. Williams the very best of
luck and assure him of our sincere
cooperation. We welcome you. Mr.
Williams, on behalf of the student
body. to University High.

 

Those from the classes on the
social committee are: seniors, Leigh
Brown and Austin Triplett; juniors,
Margaret Randall and John Court-
ney; sophomores, Margaret Brown

 

and Jimmy Marlowe. The eighth
grade has elected one. Martha
Koppius.

MUSIC CLUBS

REORGANIZED
Tlll_S_§EASON

Orchestra Is Reporting
Big Increase in
Membership

The music classes for the year
have been reorganized. The second
period every day will be devoted
entirely to Glee Clubs and mixed
chorus, under the direction of Miss
Helen Ide Morse, and the orchestra.
under the direction of Mr. Alex-
ander Capurso.

The Girls' Glee Club numbers 24
members. while the Boys' Glee Club
has only 17. The mixed chorus is
a combination of the two, totaling
41 members. During the second pe-
riod, two days a week, Monday and
Tuesday, the Boys’ Glee Club meets.
The Girls’ Glee Club meets the
second period on ednesdays and
Thursdays. Mixed chorus meets on
Friday. On Tuesdays and Thurs-
days the orchestra meets in the
auditorium and the Glee Clubs in
room 108, for which a piano has
been bought.

The orchestra, directed by Mr.
Capurso, has increased greatly over
former years and now includes ap-
proximately 30 members.

Besides the regular music sched-
ule, Miss Morse plans a cantata
sometime during the year with the
whole school, from kindergarten to
Senior High. cooperating. All the
teachers will have some part in the
production, and Miss Morse will be
musical director and production
manager. More complete plans will
be announced later.

With so much time devoted to

put
ex—
pected from University High in the
way of musical achievement.

Williams Announces
Social Committees

 

For the soeial functions of the
school this year, Mr. Williams has
arranged for a social committee
consisting of three parents, three
members of the faculty and two
students. one boy and one girl from
each class from the seventh to the
twelfth grades. This committee is
for the purpose of arranging social
affairs for the school.

If one of these grades should de—
sire a certain social affair, they
should tell their two representa—
tives, and they will see if it is pos-
sible for them to have what they
wish.

What you want should be told
to your two representatives and
they will make this known at the
meeting of the committee.

Mr. Williams feels that this is a

good plan and hopes that it may be 7

a satisfying one to all.

When school started this year.
quite a number of new pupils were
listed among the old in the class
roll books. Also new in the school
is Mr. Williams, the principal, who
was recently head of the schools in
Tennessee, under the Tennessee
Valley Project, and has made a
very good impression on the faculty
and student body.

In Miss Anderson‘s Senior home
room are Elizabeth Offutt and
Francis Hannon from Hamilton.
Libby, exen in the short time she
has been at U-Hi is noted for her
ability to keep the class and the li-
brary laughing. Ralph Mohney, a’
star basketball player from Pica—
dome. is also in the Senior home
room. University High basketballl
fans expect to see him on the floor
during the basketball season. -

The Juniors, under Miss Rogers,
have two new pupils; namely. Char—
les Candioto from Picadome and
George Poole from Henry Clay.
They bring the total to 22, the

The sophomores have a better
showing of new pupils than any
other class in the school. One of the ,
most outstanding is Henrietta Hall, ‘
late of Lexington Junior High.
While there she sang in the Girls",
Glee Club which won the State1
Music contest last year. Doris:
Schaffnei went to Morton Junior,
High last year. She played the lead
in her class play entitled “Littler

sophomore class from Picadome are
Carola Saunders and Jimmy Mc—
Cubbing. From the Francis Willard
Junior High School in Santa Anna, 1
California, comes Ramona Sch—I

Kentucky.

Among the Freshmen and eighth?
graders are Marjorie Cobb and
Mary Ann Webb from Sayre Col—j

Of course, all the seventh grad-1
ers are new to the Senior High'
School, but new to them are Julia

and William Rose.

The U-Hi Lights wishes each of
these new-comers a good year.

Students Travel During Summer Months

Vacations—They‘re gone but not i

forgotten. As we look at the pa—
pers we see that a ten cent store:
in Denver has been looted, abso—
lutely cleaned out. That could mean
but one thing. Miss Peck was loose
in Denver!!

And while Miss Anderson resided
in her “hacienda" on the Versailles
Pike, Miss West was at home on
her ranch in Walton, Ky. We also
heard that “Pop“ Mitchell was
serving a. broken sentence at Frank—
fort (maybe it was for raising two
daughters like his). Now that the
faculty is dispensed with. let’s see
what the high and mighty seniors
were doing. Willard Overstreet,
president of the Senior Class, didn’t
leave the old home town much, ex-
cept for a. week’s stay at the lake.
Personally, I'd say he spent most
of his time on the Leestown pike.
David Sageser went to Louisiana
sightseeing, so I am informed. Ruth
Peak also went to Louisiana, but

 

not sightseeing. She stayed a month

and, from what I’ve heard, had a
rip roaring good time, “Trip" di-
vided his time between Fort Knox,

Jayne Weil hada two weeks' stay at
the Edgewater Beach hotel in Chi—
cago. Janet Fergus, a junior. had a.
two weeks' stay in Dayton, after
which, accompanied by her family
and Betty Mitchell, went to Lake
George in the “Mutt” cottage. Aris-
tocratic sounding, isn’t it? Betty
also had a most enjoyable time at
Culver Military Academy where she
visited Ensign John Courtney. This
was John‘s third and last year there.
After leaving Culver, his family
took him to Niagara. Falls. It's a
pity too, ruining his honeymoon
like that. Evelyn Bradley also was

A new method is going to be

holds. He must uphold the stand—

, ards of the class by doing his duty

in the best manner he knows how.

January, 1915: “There

Will the treasury of the United States grant loans to for—

eign nations at war?"
The world was at war in 1915.

The murder of the little‘

arch-duke of Austria in Serbia had touched off the spark to

a magazine that had been filling for half a century.

France

and England, old time enemies, Italy, and Russia were joined

against the common foe.

could they continue their neutrality?

Only the United States under
President Wilson, laborer for peace. had stayed out.

But

That question was answered in the final month of 1915
when a bill came up before the Congress of the United States
which was to decide whether there would be any foreign

loans.

The bill, introduced by a few far—seeing profiteers,

was skilfully disguised as “safe” and “profitable.” The bill

passed. Next day in the war offices of Europe the news ofl
the available loans broke as a bombshell.

It is a fact that

war would have been forced to a much-needed end in March
of the same year without the resources of the United States

treasury.

Today, with all eyes turned on the little black nation, the

world wonders what America will do.

Already Haile Selas-

sie, astute Ethiopian Emperor, has made an attempt to gain

money.

In the form of an oil concession granted to an
American oil concern he seeks money for his aims.

This

plan has failed, and the United States has warned Ethiopia;

but she will try again.

They must or they will lose every-

thing, for they have arms but only enough ammunition for

about three days of modern warfare.

S LITERARY

Elizabeth, Empress of Austria

Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, by
Maureen Sullivan turned out to be
a poor biography. It has many of
the characteristics by which a poor
biography may be readily discerned.
The chapters instead of being sens-
ibly numbered are given stupid
names which are, I suppose, in-

 

tended to be significant of emo—,

tions. In the second place there are
long descriptions of emotions. which
are to me essentially annoying and
boring in a biography. because after
all, a biography should be what has
happened and not what people
have thought. and how can a mere
biographer know the innermost
thoughts of the character about
whom he is concerned? It is true.
however, that in the foreword the
author announces that her book is

iography, so perhaps my criticisms

are unjust as an historical novel
is a medium in which these things
are commonly committed. There-
for I am not writing of Elizabeth.
Empress of Austria, because of its
merit as a book, but because of the
romance and the glamor of the sub-
ject.

Elizabeth was the daughter of
Archduchess Ludoveca and Arch-
duke Maximilian Joseph of the royal
houses of Austria and Hungary. but

far removed from the thrones of »

either country. Therefore Ludoveca
eagerly cherished the hope of see-
ing her daughters married to the
heirs of kings. While Ludoveca was
forming her plans Elizabeth grew
up in the companionship and devo-
tion of her father. Maxmilian was
of a very gay and unambitious na-
regarding happiness beyond

i thrones. He and Elizabeth would go
gon long expeditions on horseback
I which lasted for several days; and

is a motion before the housefl

the nights they would spend in the
homes of devoted peasants. Eliza-
beth grew up wild and free and of

iremarkable beauty. She was tall

 

l

and very slender and had magnifi-
cent dark hair which hung to her
knees. She was in after life con-
sidered by many to be the most
beautiful woman in the world even
surpassing Eugenie. Empress of
France. While Elizabeth and her
father were having such delightful
times together Ludoveca had ma-
neuvered an engagement between
her eldest daughter. Helene, and
the heir to the Austrian throne.
Franz Joseph. When plans were
made for the wedding party to Aus-
tria. it was agreed that Elizabeth
should go too.

Franz Joseph was reluctant to
marry the none too attractive
daughter of his aunt, and no sooner
had he seen Elizabeth than his
heart was set on her. Despite the
protestations of both families the

edding was arranged between

izabeth and Franz Joseph, and
the scorned Helene retreated un-
happily to her native land. Eliza-
beth had three children, the Crown
Prince Rudolph, Gazela, and Va-
lerie.

In her later life Prince Rudolph
brought her great sorrow. A mar-
riage was arranged between Prince
Rudolph and Crown Princess Ste-
phanie of Belgium for purely poli-
tical reasons. He was intensely un—

 

happy with the rather dull Belgian
princess, and became deeply in love
with a Greek lady. The affair was
so hopeless that both Rudolph and
theGreek killed themselves, and so
died the heir to the Austrian throne.
Elizabeth‘s married life was made
unhappy by her selfish and aggres-
sive mother-in-law. the Archduch-
ess Sophie. and her stupid and re-
actionary husband. They did not
realize what an aid she was in their
unpopular government because of
the love which her subjects had for
her.

Because of her unhappiness she
travelled constantly throughout the
world in her small yacht. She vi-
sited the ill fated Carlotta and
Maximilian at their villa and bade
them good-bye on their disastrous

Remarkable in a queen of a wide
realm were her liberal and demo-
cratic ideals, and extraordinary was
her prophecy of the fall of the
Hapsburgs in Austria and the un-
furling of red flags from the win
dows of the royal palace. Elizabeth
met her tragic and unnecessary
death in 1898 when she was in early
middle life. She had just left a
shop where she had purchased a
victrola for her grandchildren. and
was on her way to her yacht when
she was shot by a crazed anarchist,
and in that was a beautiful and
gallant person passed from the
earth.

Kill the Editors

 

This is written in defense of edi-
tors. They are those strange crea-
tures who roam around these hal-
lowed halls with their hair all
mussed up and biting their finger
nails. We have discovered why they
kill those creators. There are sev—
eral reasons; they are:

1. If we print jokes we're ac-
cused of being too silly.

2. If we don‘t print jokes, we’re
accused of being too serious.

3. If so-and—so’s article doesn't
get in, we don‘t know good articles
when we see them.

4. If their articles do get in. they
tell us that the article wasn’t any
good anyway.

5. If we print your name in a
scandal column. we ought to be
shot, and

6. If we don’t put your name in
the scandal column. we don‘t know
good scandal.

EXCHANGES

 

Well. make way for the little
that‘s coming. As many of our old-
time exchanges haven’t come roll—
ing in as yet. it looks as if we‘ll
have to start off by using the Ve-
dette and McClymonds Record. ex-
clusively. My apologies!

We also want to thank Culver for
sending us its issues of the paper
through the summer. We appreci—
ate it.

In the July 13th issue of the Ve«
dette. we see that Culver has or—
ganized a jazz band and plans to
start playing at once for all their
school dances.

The McClymonds Record of Sep-
tember 10th informs us that their
first dance of the season is one to
welcome the sophomores into their
school and as a door prize they are
going to give away a Ford. Not a
bad idea, eh what?

In the Vedette issue of July 20th

. we find that Culver plans to open

a Junior College this winter and it
is to be conducted as a preparatory
school for Culver.

The McClymonds Record of April
29th informs us that the Manual
Arts High School in Los Angeles
has Candy Day once a. term
and they give away 3,000 bars of
candy as they say it increases their
sale. I c‘on‘t think that would be
a bad policy for all schools to fol-
low, do you?

While on the subject of candy.
I see in “It’s a Fact Column" of
the same issue that candy phono-
graph records have been patented
in England, so all you have to do
when you get tired of hearing the
record, is to eat it. In this same
column. it states that all you need
to carry on an ordinary conversa—
tion is 850 words. That seems little
enough.

Just to end up with a bang. here‘s
one from The Excelsior of Victoria
Texas:

Taylor: "I think Buck’s girl is as
pretty as a picture.

Ward: "Yes! But what a frame!"

and tales care of his nephew‘s girl
at the same time. giving this pic-
ture its reason for being.

Ann Shirley and John McGuire
as the young lovers; Irvin S. Cobb.
the rival captain, Berton Churchill,
a revivalist; Eugene Pallette, the
lazy jailer; Francis Ford and Step—
en Fetchit are all exceptionally
fine, as the supporting cast.

Rogers has never given a surer
performance.

Kentucky, Thursday:
“ORCHIDS TO YOU"

“Orchids to You" is the story 0f
a girl, who running a flower shop.
knows all the private lives and
scandals of her patrons. She sells
orchids to men to send to other
men’s wives. John Boles plays the
part of one of these men and Jean
Muir, the part of the flower girl
who shields him. Charles Butter—
worth is good as usual in the part
of the persistent lover whom Jean
Muir won’t marry.

This is the same old story told
the same fashion as usual.
..Strand, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday:

:3 =11 1:
“OUR LITTLE GIRL"

This offering from Shirley Tem-
ple is “Our Little Girl," in which
she reunites her parents. In this,
Shirley is a picnic-loving child
whose father, Joel McCrea, is so
interested in his career that he
neglects his wife, Rosemary Ames,
and forgets to take the family on
the usual outings.

Shirley runs away and talks to a
tramp, J. Farrell MacDonald, and
he, in turn, talks to her parents
who see their error.

In the supporting cast are Lyle
Talbot and Erin O'Brien Moore.

A typical Shirley Temple picture
in which she exploits a. few new
camera tricks of her own.
