Outing Held
In Estill Lea!

(‘lub Holds Its Second Meet-i
ing At Farm On Win-
chester Pike

Student Interest Increases As
Fun and Food Draw
Many

On Tuesday, October 5, the Uni-
versity High School Outing Club
met at Estill Farm on the Win—
chester Pike. The members met at

the school at five o'clock.
Miss Evelyn Coleman and Mr.

Bernie Shively chaperoned the
group.

Many games were played. Ham-
burgers were cooked over the fire—
place by the food committee, ap-
pointed by Jimmie Marlowe, presi—
dent of the club, at the previous
meeting. They were Lloyd Ramsey,
chairman; Vladimir Dupre, Ange—
line Wyatt, and Margaret Brown.
Jimmy Marlowe called a meeting
afterwards, to introduce the new
members, and welcome them into
the club.

The president also appointed
committees. Those in charge of the
menu and place for the next meet-
ing are Tom Moody, chairman;
Caroyln Conant, Jack Drummy,
and John Allen Fears. I

The ones on the entertainment
committee are Seth Botts, chair—
man; Jane Daniels and Margaret
Ellison. Those arranging for the
transportation are Clayton Robin—
son, chairman; Angeline Wyatt and
Bobby Martin.

Jimmy Marlowe brought up thel
idea about rho ("cab giving a dance'

much discussion on this subject.
Since it was just a suggestion by
the president, no definite plans
have been made.

After the meeting, the members

enjoyed many more games, and
then marshmallows were passed
around afterwards.
Transportation for this outing was,
furnished by Miss Coleman. Mr.
Shively, Vladimir Dupre, Jimmy
Marlowe, Bobby Courtney and
Clayton Robinson.

 

THREE BITS

By SEE ARE

 

The Outing Club has a new ac—
complishment to add to its list. Be—
sides providing real, honest to good—
ness friendship (yeh man)* to all
for its members it has at last en—
lightened them on a. few . good
points. The club, very unofficially
of course, showed quite a few of
its “city slicker” members what the
beautiful interior of a full tobacco
barn looked like. This unusual op—
portunity presented itself when we
were all gathered on the farm be-
longing to Mr. Rhodes Estill who
many times has graciously given us
the run of his place for an outing.
Mr. Estill, thank you!

Getting to the point (*Ditto!)
however is another problem. We,
the city slickers and I, were playing
our most popular game, 16., Capture
the Flag. To call it a game is lowly
degrading our American English,
but we’ll call it that for the sake of ‘
proud papas and mamas whose
children play nice games. Now un—
derstand there’s nothing wrong with
the game, it’s just the after effects
that give you such vivid impressions
or maybe I should say imprints.

What? Oh yes, the barn was the
subject. The boundaries included a
large barn inside of which various
members of both teams pursued
each other trying vainly to capture
a prisioner. Insrde the barn was
the beautiful brown tobacco hung
for the curing process. The coke
stoves were here and there and
“man's first need” brushed your
face. Yes, it was really beautiful.
We couldn’t even see our own
thoughts.

The Girl Reserves of University[
High met for the first time thisi‘
year, on Thursday evening, Octo-
ber 7, 1937 at the Y. W. C. A. After
dinner the meeting was called to
order by the president, Dorothy
Preston. The meeting consisted of
a series of talks given by the presi—
dent and the girls who had gone to
the Girl Reserves conferences the
past summer. Miss Peck, the spon-

INTEREST DRAWN
WITH GOOD HOME
ROOM PROGRAMS

During Home Room periods the
various grades have had a few
very interesting programs, although
much of the time has been taken
up with business meetings.

Some of the seniors are starting
plans for a class picnic, and the
matter will be brought to the at—
tention of the whole class in a short
time.

The juniors have had some in-
teresting Home Room programs. In
the first one, Billy Gabbert told the
members of the class about his ad—
ventures last summer at Camp Pet—
o—se-ga on Lake Michigan. He also
showed pictures of the camp and
the group of boys who were there.
Boys from U-Hi who attended be—
sides Billy Gabbert were Sonny Hall
and Richard Daniels. On another
day Mr. Kemper showed moving
pictures on balloons and balloon
racing.

The sophomores have had the
pleasure of seeing Lewis Sawin’s
moving pictures of his trip to the
West Coast. These pictures which
he took himself. show many inter-
esting scenes in the West. The rest
of the sophomore Home Room
periods have been given over to
baseball, spelling and business.

The ninth grade boys have been
.planning a picnic. The ninth grade
girls had also planned one but it

Marlowe. Robinson, Drummy
Are U-High Representa-
tives to Convention

Three delegates from University
.High School will attend the 1937
convention of the National Student
Government Association. The con—
vention will be held at Knoxville,
Tennessee, Friday and Saturday,
IOctober 15-16. Clayton Robinson
|and Jimmy Marlowe. Senior Class

representatives of the Student Gov—
ernment organization of University
High, and Jack Drummy, a Junior
Class representative, will be sent
by the University High student
government to Knoxville for the
convention. The delegates plan to
leave Thursday morning and to
arrive in time for the first confer-
ence Friday.

During the meetings of the con--
vention the University High dele-
gates expect to learn how other stu—
dent government organizations over
the United States are working out
their programs and problems. Our
delegates hope to get ideas from
other representatives that would be
profitable to our system of student
government in University High.

As a part of the program planned
by the association the delegates
may attend the Alabama-Tennes—
see game. The climax, however, of
this profitable convention will be a
banquet and dance on Friday night,
October 15.

It is a custom of each school
which sends representatives to the
convention of the National Student
Government Association, to send
each year to the convention some-

student body. These things from
schools all over the country are put
on exhibition for the various school
representatives to see. From these
‘ the delegates can get ideas for their
, schools.

I This year University High will
present a volume of the U-Hi Lights
to the convention for exhibition.
The Student Government and Mr.
Williams believe that this is a good
example of lthe work done by the
students ni University High.

Last year the National Strident
Government Association called the
annual convention here in Lexing-
ton at Henry Clay High School.
They had a large and interesting
conference with varied programs
and numerous plans for extra ac-
tivities. Evelyn Bradley and Clay-
ton Robinson represented the Sen-—
ior High grades in University High
and Mildred Miller from the Junior
High grades attended the conven—
tion and was elected to preside over
the meetings of the Junior High
Student Government.

Registration of members will be
Thursday afternoon. Thursday and
Friday nights the delegates will be
entertained in private homes. Busi-
ness sessions and luncheon will be
held Friday until 4 o’clock in the

 

 

Knoxville High School. A tour of

.the city will follow these sessions

and the banquet and dance are from
7 to 12 o’clock. Saturday morning
lthere will be a trip to Norris Dam
followed by the final session and
luncheon. The afternoon is open to
delegates who wish to attend the
football game.

ART APPRECIATION

There is an old saying that, we don’t know how important
something is to us until we are forced to doavithout it. So it is
with our art department. .

\'\'hen we had the privilege of using the art department 1n the
Elementary School perhaps we did not: appreciate this fact. But
now the need is great. Often we find that we need to do some art
work.

This is plainly shown in many of our classes and studies. Take.
for instance, our library. Often we need colorful posters or read-
ing displays to add to the interest of the library. In our other
classes there is the need for it in certain projects such as wall
friezes, maps charts or working with clay. In the Junior High
School the need is especially imperative because art has been almost
as important in elementary training as many of the academic
studies.

There is no legimate reason why this training should stop. \\'e
have a music department for those who have talent along that par-
ticular line; why not have an art department for those who have
talent or artistic ability? If we had an art department perhaps
those who have talent would take the opportunity to develop it,
and perhaps an interest would be aroused in others. This would
give everyone an opportunity for self expression and creativeness
and would keep the students who have to use the art room from
“pouncing” upon Mrs. Haines when she is busily occupied with
other classes. It is unfair to her and yet it can’t wholly blamed
upon the students as they are justified in wanting to use the art
room.

So if we all cooperated and expressed the desire for a high
school art department, maybe we could get one. Let’s try!

MUSIC ENJOYMENT

One of the reasons students take part in any extra curricular
activities in our school is for the enjoyment of the student, himself
However, this does no necssarily determine the value of the ac-1
tivities. Both enjoyment and value should be considered when
choosing an activity. j

Music has both of these characteristics. The enjoyment of bC‘;
ing in the glee club or orchestra can be discovered by asking any i
of its members. The association with other members, all having
the same aim, causes a mutual enjoyment with one another. An-
other source of enjoyment is the state contests in which you can
hear some of the outstanding musical organizations in the state.
Moreover. there is a value in musical training which increases
hourly. Today, as never before, good music is available at the
turn of a dial. Such famous operatic stars as Nelson Eddy. Jeanette
.\Iacl)onald, Grace Moore, Nino Martini. Richard Cook, and oth-
ers. together with world famous orchestras and choral groups are
making inevitable a knowledge, understanding, and apprec1atton
of the beauty in music.

There is a definite necessity for training in musical apprecia-
tion. therefore, for to enjoy music one must understand it. The
beauty of music incr *ases with one‘s familiarity with it. Because
of this, a membership in our orchesrta or glee clubs is advan-
tageous to one’s happiness now and in later life.

LITERARY

In Calico and Crimson—Eleanor
Sickles

In almost any history book a per—
son can read of the important
events of the early American people.
This is all very well but it is so
much more interesting to know the
men and women behind these
events.

Few boks mention the part that
women play in history. Eleanor
Sickles, the author of “In Calico
and Crimson", realized this fact
and has given to us one of the most
realistic stories ever written about
the more ordinary women of this
time.

Written in chronological order,
this book serves not only as a book
to read for pleasure, but also as a
book to read along with history
which will help you to become bet—
ter acquainted with the types of
people during this period.

The story has been described as
the presentation of a motion pic—
ture. The stage is three thousand
miles wide and the plot provides
plenty of thrill and excitement.

It takes someone willing to bear
hardships, who will leave a home
to come to a new world not knowing
what to expect upon their arrival.
Such a thing as this is just what
the first people who came to Amer—

 

' iea did.

The first part of the book deals

received have been interesting, there
isn‘t yet a complete exchange.

Wondered as I was sending out
the first issue of the U—Hi Lights,
how it would measure up with oth«
er school papers. Those other schools
had good papers, but I have confi—
dence in the staff of the U- Hi
Lights.

Schools all over the country have
new students like those that have
come among us. Can‘t you imagine»
how lost they feel? Other schools
are getting organized in classes,

like we are. We’ve had two girll

think?
It seems strange that when I'
glance at the headlines of so many

of the papers before reading them
that the classes are so distinctly
divided. Many of the schools have
their extra activities divided accord—
ing to their classes. Here at U High
the classes are not large and the
students are thrown together more.
We have only the Junior and Se—
nior High divisions, for which we
should be thankful.

Some of the papers last year ran
articles that We were very interested
in, and we are glad to see so many
of them there again this year.

Sequoia Union High School has
started something new in the line
of tests, in which these are only two
questions. One is “Have you ever
cheated on a test this year?” The
other is ”As a result of cheating
have you received a better grade?"
The results were shocking. Ninety
per cent of the students had cheat—
ed. We learn all this from the Me!
Clymonds—Record. We wonder
what would happen to a test like
that here at U—High.

And for people who dote on puns,
here are a few from “The Log” to
remember to spring next time. How
many people know how much they
have to know to know how little
they know. And flattery is ninety
per sent soap and soap is niney per
cent lye. And it is better to be a
wreckless driver than a reckless
driver.

From the Holmes Spun we find
this advice:

on, it‘s never a matter of beauty,

or brawn.
Of learning, or cut of your clothes;

To be really worth while, is to

feel like a smile
When somebody steps on your toes.

PROGRAM IS RECOGNIZED

 

The book week program presented
by University High School last year
received honorable mention in a
contest sponsored by the National
Council of Teachers of English. A
‘ part of the program as is was writ—
ten appears in a discussion of sev-
eral of the book week programs
from other schools in an article in
the October issue of the English

 

 

 

Journal.

The American Indians were the
first ever to be known to use it on
a large scale. They smoked it in
their peacepipes in trbal ceremonies,
which was a very old custom,
chewed it for pleasure, and some
of it was used for snuff.

It was first introduced in Europe

about 1559 and in England in about .

1585 through Sir Frances Drake.
However it was through the illus—
trious example of Sir Walter Ra—
liegh, who “took a pipe of tobacco
a little before he went to the scaf—

tfolde”, that smoking became popu—
:lar among all classes of people. At
,first smoking was strongly opposed

by both the church and the state,

clubs, sports, glee clubs, and fun and its users were threatened with!

down, and before long it had spread

throughout most of the eastern
hemisphere.
Today, tobacco has become so

popular with people from every
part of the world that it is one of
the largest industries in America.
Although Kentucky is one of the
best tobacco producing centers in
the United States, the tobacco in-
dustry provides employment in
many other states. Tobacco which
is grown in Kentucky is taken to an
outside state to be manufactured
into the finished product. Only the
income tax is a greater source of
revenue to the American Govern—
emnt than the tax on tobacco in its
various forms.

The chief products of tobacco are
cigars, cigarettes, and smoking and
chewing tobacco. Cigars and ciga-
rettes are made from the better
parts of the tobacco plant by cut—
ting it into small pieces and rolling
it into specially prepared wrappers.
Tobacco for chewing is usually
called a “plug", which is a cake of
pressed tobacco flavored with lico—
rice, chocolate and other ingredi—
ents, while smoking tobacco is pre—
pared on the order similar to that
of the cigar and cigarette, only it is
put in small tin cans for keeping.

The people of Lexington are proud
of the fact that this city is the
largest loose-leaf tobacco market
in the world and that the Blue
Grass comprises the best producing
burley area in the United States
and each one hopes that it may
continue to be the best in its field.

 

RADIO PROGRAMS

 

The Unversity High radio players
are working on a very busy sched—
ule. At present the play “The Ra-
ven’s First Night,” by Gladys
Schmitt, is under production and
is rapidly rounding into shape. The
cast of characters is as follows:
Mrs. Chinn, Louise Ewan; Virginia

Chinn, Mildred Pierson; Edgar Al—1

len Poe, Clayton Robnson;
Kennedy, James Marlowe; Mr.
Burke, Lloyd Ramsey. The sound
effects are under the supervsion of
Mila Hains and Tony McCain.

The radio players have been
working very hard on “The Ravens
First Night" under the excellent
directorship of Mrs. Miller.

food to keep his family through the
winter, it seems almost imposible to
believe that any woman would be
brave enough to remain at her home
alone. Usually the homes were small
cabins near the woods. It was not
an uncommon occurence for Indi-
ans to come and tear up anything
ythey could put their hands on. The
lwhite man tried to remain friends
with the Indians but it is always
impossible to keep everyone satisfied.

The first women were brought to
Virginia in 1619. Everyone was
dressed up and waiting for the boat
1 to arrive. Imagine the excitement of
lthe men who had been over here

without seeing any women except
their little Indians friend, Po—
cohontas. who was continually help—
ing in some way. When the women
descended from the boat every man
seemed to pick out the woman he
wanted for a wife.

Pocohantas was first alarmed at
these women who could not keep
from staring at her. She continued
to wear her Indian dress and at
times shocked the women. More
than once did Pocohantas prove
herself the white people‘s friend.
She often interpreted the sayings
of the Indians to, the white man.
When the food supply ran low Po—
cohantas, would always make an
attempt to bring in some berries or
something to keep the people going.

Several times the colony almost
reached the pointL of starvation, but
through the clever planing of wom—
en were put back on their feet.
written about Ann Hutchinson who
believed she was right and no one
could sway her opinion. Her name
was brought up in meetings, she
was pointed out and stared at in
the streets, and her name was whis—
pered among all the people of Mas—
sachusetts. Anne Hutchinson was
as undaunted on the day of her trial
as any other day. She did not wel—
come all of the criticism that had
been given her, because she had a
family and was proud and hated to
have them outcast all because of
her.

After she and her family had
been banished from Massachu—
setts they moved to Rhode Island.
Several times after they had es—
tablished their home they were
asked to come back to Massachu—
setts but never would Anne Hutch-
inson submit to such a thing.

Such names as Dicey Laugston,
Lydia Darraugh, Marie—Madeliene,
Betty Martin and many others are
the women who had the power to
face unknown dangers and urge
the men not to quit but to keep on.
t The name “In Calico .and Crin—
oline” was chosen because it seems
to point out the type of women.
Some wore rough calico some soft
crmoline, some wore the colonial
cap, others were the Quaker bonnet.

Each one of these stories seemed

to make a scene in the great drama
of America.
