Interesting Subjects
Offered for Students

New subjects introduced to the

students of University High School
at the opening of school this year

are Journalism. Home Problems,
Speech and Music Theory.

Jilwal i s in, ans-.cnicste;
course which may be substituted
for one semester of English, is op—
en to the members of the sopho—
more, junior and senior grades. The
course assists the students to learn
the fundamentals of newspaper
writing. Practical work is available
on the University High paper. The

 

«

students” intelligent understanding
of local, national and world pro—
blems is developed through the

reading of newspapers and current
magazines and fluency in writing
is brought about through constant
practice.

Home problems, a course open
to eleventh and twelth grade stue
dents, which will enable them to
become better adjusted individuals,
more intelligent consumers and
more responsible citizens, is to be
offered this year. Studies are made
of the traits needed by individuals
to advance in their work, including
courtesy and consideration for oth—
ers. Where to buy, how to pay for
goods, when to buy and related
questions will be discussed by
specialists and many field trips will
be made. Housing problems, both
personal and community, are to be
studied.

The purposes of the course in
Speech are to develop the indi—
vidual’s personality to develop a
pleasing speaking voice, to speak
effectively before a group, and to
read from a printed page so that
those listening can understand
more thoroughly. Toward the end
of the year the student gains the
ability to use the fundamental and
practical principles of oral discus—
sion and debate, and to reason
soundly and speak persuasively.

Orchestra, Glee ClubSa
Plan Work For Year

Mr. Capurso, director of the Uni—
versity High School Orchestra, an-
nounced that the orchestra intends
to give two or three preformances
for the benefit of the student body
in some coming convocation pro—
grams. Mr. Capurso went on to
say that he exepects to cooperate
with Miss Herman‘s dramatic class
in the plays which they give.

Mr. Capurso sends on invitation
to any student in junior or senior
high school (senior high school
preferred) to join the orchestra.
and also, if necessary, he will give
private lessons to any student who
wishes instruction.

In spite of the loss of students,
the orchestra is larger than last
year. Mr. Capurso said that the
increase in the orchestra is due to
the fact that students who have
been trained in the punior high
are now able to take up the work
which the orchestra needs.

The orchestra now consists of'
some fifteen or sixteen students
fro mthe Juniorf and Senior high
combined.

Miss Helen I. Morse. director of
the University High School Glee
Clubs. announced that she will be
able. to give a very interesting
Christmas program. This program,
Miss Mors said, will not be a can-
tata but will be a program con»—
sisting of Christmas music. Miss
Morse stated that she is not sure
whether there will be a Boys‘ Glee
Club or not but thalshe mild: “
is poSSible.
_ The Girls' Glee Club is progress-
ing excellently and will probably
be very good this year.

Sibilities this year because of the
splendid material.

THE SPIRIT OF ’36

School—when we hear that word, we know it means
the end of summer vacations. We must put behind us our
summer pleasures and prepare for work.

Those of us who entered the doors of U. Hi this Sep—
tember felt one of three emotions. We were either elated
with the opening of school, we were indifferent, or we wished
vehemently we were going out these doors for good and not
just entering.

We who entered feeling that nothing could defeat us—
will go about our work for the first two weeks of school ful-
ly resolved that we will make the highest grades possible
and there shall be no limit to gaining knowledge. “Excel-
sior” will be our motto. But after a while Father Time may
dim this determination; apathy and complacency can bring
defeat and will, if we allow it to.

If we were indifferent, failure will attend us unless an
interest in our work or fellow workers can be aroused.
School is as good place to find and arouse this interest as
can be found.

But those of us who wish there were no school—we are
the group to be united. For whether we like it or not, hu-
man progress comes through struggles; and those who give
way without an effort, firnaya‘as wkell 1'1le begin.

OPPORTUNITY

How little we realize the opportunities which Univer-
sity High school offers us to make us well rounded ind1v1d—
iuals. Much time and energy has been spent in learning the
most effective way to teach to bring out the individuality of
each of us. Various courses have been offered to improve us
in different lines. Speech is offered to improve our Englsih,
our choice in manner of presentation, and to learn bodily
control. _ .

Heavier subjects such as mathematics and the scrences
are offered to Widen our knowledge and to make us think
clearly and quickly. Commercial subjects are offered not so
much to make us accountants or secretaries, as to give us
a fair knowledge of the systematic keeping of records.

A varied program of sports is recreation. A soc1a1 pro—
gram has been organized so as to give every one a chance to
enjoy all phases of social life. Nothing has been overlooked
in the plan to make us better ind1v1duals and we should ac-
knowledge these and take advantagefipf them.

GREETINGS! HELLO FRESHMEN!

You’re like a duck out of water and your fellows sym-
pathize. About six years ago, the greeneest bunch of fresh-
men that ever got past the first s1x grades could“be seen
wandering around. taking in all tales and so-called friendly

advice” with fish—like gullibility. They suffered and learned.
And those freshmen of six years ago are your own upper-

smile and pity them and wonder how it feels to drop from
the heights as cocky seniors to become once more tortured,
tormented freshmen. “Theirs not to reason why, theirs but
to work or fry.” Yet they too, if we who are so soon to as—
sume their fate are in a position to speak calmly, will grow
older and wiser. And they after four years, will asusme roles
as freshmen which they will never leave, for it is in the
school of life that one never graduates. There is too much
to learn. Sad is he who considers that a college degree brings
with it all necessary knowledge, under lock and key. His
sixteen years in school have been spent in learning the

ahead.

way to knowledge although he may not have realized it.

Say freshmen, don’t feel the way a stranger would.
We’re all green underneath our feathered exteriors. We don’t
know half the things you think we do and probably we never
will. You have an inheritance of tradition and honor, in a
school which we think can’t be beaten, that neither you nor
we can or will appreciate. You have your life as we have ours

“Therefore so live that when the summons comes

LITERARY

“Gone With the Wind”

Undoubtedly one of the out-
standing books of 1936 and one of
the best sellers is “Gone With the
Wind,” by Margaret Mitchell. It
has sold in startlingly large num—
bers. The story deals with the pe-
riod before, during, and after the
Civil War. In length, the book is
another “Anthony Adverse,” hav—
ing a little over 1,000 pages.

Scarlett O’Hara, the main char—
acter in the story, is a lovely, sel—
fish, determined young lady of 16,
the belle of the country and thor—
oughly hated by the neighboring
girls. 'I'ara, the plantation that the
O’Hara’s own, was a beautiful one
with a lovely, white, spread—out
house where guests were always
welcome. Ellen Rabillard, the
girls’ mother, set the example for
them to follow, a manner of gen—
tleness, ladylikeness, and timidity
which had little effect on Scarlett,
but Suellen and Careen, Scarlett’s
sisters, took her teachings to heart.
Suellen wished to use them to at—
tract while Careen learned them
simply because she had no wish to
do otherwise. Gerald O’Hara, as
their father, seldom showed any
authority, for he wished little to
do with disciplining his children,
for Suellen had too sharp a tongue
and Careen was too quiet, while
Scarlett was too much like her
father with just a slight veneer of
Ellen’s training.

One afternoon in the summer,
seated on the porch of Tara, Scar-
lett was being entertained by the
Tarleton twins, Brent and Stuart,
who had just been ejected from
their fourth college in two years.
Naturally their two brothers, Boyd
and Tom, would not stay at a col—
lege from which their brothers had
been expelled. At the moment
Boyd was at home trying to explain
to his mother the reasons why the
twins could not stay at a college
where they had been insulted. In
the conversation the boys men-
tioned that they had passed through
Atlanta on their way home and
had visited Miss Pitty Wilkes. She
had told them that there were two
engagements to be announced the
next evening. Scarlett shook her
head fretfully and exclaimed, “Ev—
eryone knows that Honey Wilkes
and Charles Hamilton are to be en-
gaged.” However, the boys laughed
and said it was Ashley Wilkes and
Melanie Hamilton.

Scarlett hastened down the lane
to the gate to wait for her father to
see if the report was true. Finally
Gerald came, a cocky figure on his
horse singing slightly off key until
interrupted by his daughter calling.
After a tedious conversation Scar—
lett finally asked her father the
tormenting question and only too
true it was. Gerald jestingly made
the remark that Ashley would be
around Tara no more, but since
she made no answer he looked at
her closely and perceived her

"' l
EXCHANGES I
___ l

Hi ho, everybody! Here we are
back at school again after spending
delightful vacations all over our
United States. We are all ready
for another year of hard work and
play.

Things change from year to year
and this year is by no means an
exception. We have brand new
seniors roaming our halls, perhaps
blinking a little at the unreality
of being a senior, at last. We find
many new students in our classes
and we wish them the best of luck
and are glad to have them join us.
We have a new teacher, too, who
is fast gaining our admiration, re—
spect, and we hope our cooperation.
Last but not least we find our own
U—Hi Lights is new hands. We are
aiming toward a bigger and better
school year for all of us and we
want the U-Hi Lights to profit with
us. Let us remember that what—
ever we go in for, we’ll get out of
it just what we put into it. So
let’s all put the very best we’ve got
into our activities and classes, and
everything considered will profit.

This year we have a real long
exchange list and we want to make
it stretch and be even longer. Other
schools are doing different things,
partaking of different activities
that we‘d all like to hear about.
We enjoy hearing about other
schools’ dances, clubs, classes, and
their students’ gay “affairs.” It is
interesting to not in reading dif-
ferent papers how alike the spirit
is. We want a gay spirit in our
school, one of cooperation, and as
Dean Taylor told us recently, one
of hspitality. We want the whole
world to think hatt there’s not an-
other school anywhere where the
students learn as much and have
as much fun as at University High.
When our school paper is sent out
twice monthly to schools all over
the United States, we want the
people who read it to say, “My,
that's a good all around school. I’d
like to go there myself.” We want
to make the older people wish they
could be back in high school and
the younger ones look forward to
it ’with all their enthusiasm; jhat
is the‘ spirit f old U—Hi.
boost our school higher and high—
er by working for it and putting
our best into it.

 

 

trouble. Trying to comfort her he
became angry at her unreasoning
love for Ashley and told her that
no daughter of his would make her-
self the laughing stock of the
country. The next morning, on
her way back to the barbeque at
the Wilkes, Scarlett planned that
she would elope with Ashley. Try
though she would, Ashley never
left Melanie’s side. Scarlett, who
was always self—dependent, became
frightened. That afternoon while
all of the girls were resting, Scar-
lett crept down the stairs looking
for Ashley. Finding him in the li—
brary she told him of her love for
him, how they could elope, but
Ashley, though he confessed his
love for her, would not leave Mel-
anie and left the room. Looking
around the room, Scarlett picked
up a small glass dish and threw it
at the mantle, clearing the couch
by only a few inches. A voice then
exclaimed, “This is too much,” and
rising from the couch laughing was
Rhett Butler, the young man who
was Mr. Wilkes’ guest for the day
and the one person Scarlett had
ever feared. Fleeing from the room
she met Charles Hamilton, who was
a fool in her eyes, but to save her
face she decided coldly to marry
him. So to his surprise when he
proposed she accepted, and their
wedding was the day before Ash—
ley’s. From then on, to the end of
the war and later, Scarlett did
things that scandalized Atlanta so-
ciety, that she was cut for, that
she was laughed at for, but through
it all her love for Tara, her home,
stands out.

“Gone With the Wind" to me is
an over-drawn picture of the Civil
War with Scarlett O’Hara as the
main interest of the book. Miss
Mitchell makes you hate Scarlett
and also the Northerners, for she
paints too vividly the cruelty of
the North. For anyone wishing an
outstanding and lengthy novel, I
would advise them to read this.

so THEY SAY

Now that Emma's gone the way

of all scandal writers I can “rest
in peace," but really the new res—
ponsibility that's been placed on
our heads by last year’s graduating
class is almost too much to stand
but never—th—less some are hav-
ing a big time.

Our two lovebirds of the junior
class are at each other’s throats
again. In fact when I asked Mila
about it all she would say was, “ask
him!”

Mary Conant is still as big a
sucker as ever. In fact she’s as bad
off now as she was last year. Oh!
well. it didn‘t take much work did
it, Ovey?”

John asked Martha for a date
Sunday night, we wonder why. Is
he losing interest in “little Mitch,”
or is he trying to make her jea-
lous or is somebody beating his
time? Now there‘s an angle!

Our high and mighty senior class
elected a president recently. Wil—
