Entitled ‘Death Pulse’

The Dramatics Department, under
the guidance of Mrs. Miller, instruc-
tor, has completed the first in a
series of radio broadcasts. entitled
the "Death Pulse."

The class will present these quar-
ter hour installments of exciting
radio drama bimonthly until the
serial is complete.

The cast in the first episode was
as follows:

Dr. Fenwick. a physician domin-

 

ated by a strange power. Sam Cad-
l dy.

Sound effects were conducted by
Jane Mag'rudq'r, Marianne Webb,
Tom Poole and Harry Miller.

The climax will remain a. mys—
tery to all. including the cast. un-
til the preparations are made for
the presentation of the final epi—
sode.

Besides presenting this series of
radio plays. the Dramatios class
hopes to give several one act plays
in convocation sometime in the near
future. It also is planning several
trips out of town to see several
theatrical productions. However. it
has not decided which play the
students want to attend. Last year
the class went to Cincinnati to see
the current production, “The Doll’s
House.” Also the class will enter
the play cont-est sponsored by the
Cincinnati College of Music of Cin-
cinnati and Lexington. The class
is now engaged in reading and se-

lecting plays for the group.

 

Faculty Enjoy Vacation

 

 

 

Well, the daily (?) grind has
started once more. Vacation is be-
hind and so are some of our assign-
ments. Why bring that up? Well,
anyhoo, to continue. Probably we

all know what our classmates did!

this summer, but what about the
faculty? By scouting around I tried
to find out.

Mr. Betz spent an
vacation in New York.

interesting
In inter-

viewing hiin I found out he saw all‘

the sights of the city, including the
bowery. Chinatown, and the sky-
scrapers. On returning to Lexing-
ton he enjoyed a camping trip.

Miss Peck was next on my list
to be interviewed. She spent most
of her vacation in the south. She
visited a niece in Waco, Texas, and
a brother in Ponca City, Oklahoma.
She was gone a month.

Miss Miller told me that nothing
so eventful had happened in the
course of her vacation. She spent

, most of her time reading new plays
land books and planning the activi-
lties of the dramatics class. Ah,
lyes! I nearly forgot. She learned
3to drive! At last! the dramatics
lcl'ass is saved! (puff—puff)
,_ Mr. Kemper spent most of his
; vacation going to school and study-
ing in Nashville, Tennessee. He said
on the Whole his summer was quite
enjoyable although he DID go to
school. My but he’s an optimist!
Miss Elizabeth Anderson, our
home economics teacher, tourned the
west this summer. She traveled in
twelve states. In answer to my
question concerning what she liked
best. she said a rodeo that she at-
tended in Ogden, Utah. After her
western tour, Miss Anderson came
home and spent the remainder of
the summer at Herrington Lake.
Miss Gibbs, our new art teacher,
who recently joined the faculty,
spent most of the summer teaching
in Cincinnati at the art museum.

 

The classes she taught were on the
order of our Saturday art classes.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams and their
daughter went to New York, where
Mr. Williams studied at Columbia
University, after summer school was
over. After the term at Columbia
they visited in Columbus and Cin—
cinnati, Ohio. From Cincinnat,
they returned to Lexngton and back
to work.

Mr. Mitchell spent the summer in
Buffalo, New York, where he taught
in a teacher’s college.

As I talked with the teachers I

in their voices (somethin’ I et no
doubt) as they said “and then
school started." I know when I
say “then school started" there is
‘definitely regret in my voice. No
kiddin’, vacation is pretty swell,
but school isn’t so bad. It could
be worse—after all the people we

 

copy from could quit school. And
then where would we be?

Spends Much Of Time In
England and France Study-
ing School Curricula

Dean W. S. Taylor, dean of the
College of Education, has recently
returned to the University of Ken-
tucky after a year spent in Europe
studying the European school sys-

tem.

Accompanied by Mrs. Taylor and
Nancy Ellen. Dean Taylor toured
England, Scotland, Wales, France,
Germany. Italy, Switzerland, Hol-
land. Belgium, Denmark. Norway,
and Sweden, visiting schools in each
country.

Dean Taylor described European
schools as being very different from
American schools. They have long~
er school hours; for instance, in
France the hours are from eight
o‘clock in the morning to six o’-
clock in the evening.

He spent more time studying the
English school system than any oth-
er. English children start to school
at the age of five. When they are ten
years old they are given an exam-
ination to determine whether or not
they have the ability to go through
high school. If they do not pass
this test the children stay in the
first eight. grades until they are
fourteen years old and then leave
school. For this reason there is a
comparatively small number of
children in high school.

The high school and elementary
classes are always in separate build-
ings in England and the children
always pay tuition. The curricul-
um is much the same as in the
United States. but more emphasis is
placed on the classics. Although a
'reat deal of attention is given to
recreation, it is almost all within
the individual school; there are few
games or contests carried on be-
tween two or more schools. Not
much time is given to music in
the schools, except singing. There
are almost no high school orches-
tras or hands in England. They
have no music contests carried on
between schools, just as there are
few games between different schools.
Th side of the schools in England
differs but the usual number of
pupils is about three hundred. The
wealthy private schools are often
much larger.

In France the secondary schools
sometimes have as many as one
thousand pupils.

Dean Taylor found that though
the schools of Europe differ great-
ly in details, they are fundament—
ally the same.

WELCOME STUDENTS
J. D. WILLIAMS, Guest Writer

To each of the two hundred members of the University High
School student body I extend hearty greetings at the opening of
the school year of 1938—39. I hope that all of you will enjoy the
year's work and that at its completion you will possess that deep
satisfaction that comes to those who successfully complete a diffi-
cult but worthwhile job.

Experiences of this year will become a very real part of you.
Our teachers are working to provide as many opportunities as
possible for you to have those experiences that will contribute most
to your growth and development. Our school w111 succeed to the
extent that these experiences help you to make wiser chorces, more
accurate decisions, and more understanding judgments. You learn
to be a good leader by practicing the principles of good leader-
ship, you learn consideration for others by practicing such consid-
erations, you learn courtesy by practicing courtesy, and you de-
velop into a well—balanced and an attractive person by consciously
working toward that objective. You become proficient in reading,
writing, and numbers by the correct practice of those skills. You
become proficent in science and the use of the laboratory by study
and the correct. practice in the laboratory. You become acquainted
with the problems and achievements of man throughout recorded
time by means of the printed page. You gain perspective by such
study and are able more nearly to interpret our own times. All
of the opportunities mentioned are available to you and many
more. Our teachers want to help you to select the experiences
and to give you the necessary assistance that will make the most of
you. Because of their education and special preparation, they
have this contribution to make to you.

In the last analysis the extent to which you grow in vision,
understanding, usefulness, and character depends upon you. The
old saying, “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make
him drink,” just as certainly holds for your own development.
Perhaps such a saying could be paraphased, “you can offer all of
the opportunities for a person’s growth and development such as
an excellent library, superior teachers, well-equipped laboratories,
and all of the advantages of the foremost modern school but all
of these to little avail if the person will not participate actively in
his own development.”

This year I should like to see every one enrolled in University
High actively participate in makng its facilities serve his worthy

l purposes. Also, that everyone would determine to contribute his

best to the welfare of his own family, his fellow workers, and his
associates. Such objectives actively sought will keep our‘ school
one of top rank in Kentucky and will bring it worthy recognition.
Some of the indications that University High is such a school
should be apparent to the most casual visitor. These indications
are the prevailing and never failing spirit of courtesy, unselfish—
ness, and consideration for others, and the deep and sincere loyal-
ty to high ideals and to the school.

May we work together for these thi

EXAMINE YOUR ()\\'N CHIMNEY

()n a beautiful spring morning when every bud was bursting
with new life, and all nature was in the merriest tune, a young
man stood observing the wonderful scene when suddenly a shower
of soot fell on the lawn and street. causing a blackish hue on every-
thing it touched. At once this young man began thinking of the
carelessness of his neighbors and how thoughtless they were of
other people. He said as much to a passer-by, only to receive the
merited reply, “It's coming out of your chimney, sir.” Only then
did it become apparent to the young man how much better it
would have been had he been more careful to keep his own
chimney clean and less critical of his neighbors.

The book of books states, “And why beholdest thou the mote
that's in thy brother’s eye when there is a beam in thine own
eye." But today this seems to be human nature. \Ve are all more
or less guilty of finding fault with others. even if those faults are
even so slight. But how few of us will unbiasedly analyze our—
selves and admit that we are guilty? One of the most persistent
weaknesses in human nature is man's aptitude at detecting other
people's faults and his blindness to his own.

It may be our own faults and not our neighbor’s that cast the
blackish hue on the atmosphere. It. is our chimney that is smok—
ing! If we would be more severe in our self-judgment, we would
be more lenient in our judgment of others. \\'e are able to judge
ourselves with some measure of fairness, but. when we start judg—
ing other people our judgment becomes very much mistaken. No
matter how many virtues are vested within us. if we have the fault,
of constantly criticizing not, only those who are our close friends,
but. also our acquaintances, all these virtues are of no value.

Besides being a bad habit this business of constantly finding
fault is no less painful to the one to whom it is directed than
many forms of physcal violence. Certainly you know how biting
the pain can be if you have ever had your feelings hurt. A blow
to one’s pride, a shock to one's fairness, or an accusation of un-
faithfulness can produce a mental anguish which is not compar-
able to any physical pain. A great scholar once said, “On one side
self-love blinds us to ourselves, on the other envy and malice give
piercing eyes in respect to others. When we shall have as much
zeal to correct ourselves as we have inclination to reprove and cor-
rect others. we shall know our own defects better than we know
those of our neighbor."

1<‘1<12r.1)o.\t or OPINION

The ability of the American people to think for themselves
was demonstrated recently in several state primaries in various
parts of the United States. Some of the candidates were conserva-
tives whose opinions differ with, the chief executive on certain
legislative issues. As a result of this difference of opinion the
President made speeches in these states and requested that these
men not be elected to congress, hs chief reason being — they are
not “yes" men or words which meant the same thing. The Presi—
dent's plea, however, was (lisregarded in most cases and the people
voted for the candidate they thought would serve them and not a
political party.

\Ve should not think of this as a blow to the “New Deal”,
but we should think of it as proof that the citizens of our country
still know how to govern themselves. It shows that we are still
as far frotn dictatorship as we ever were.

Nevertheless, if we look at nations which do have dictators,
we might conclude that this form of government was the inevit-
able result of the strife and depression which followed the World
\Var. Therefore. is no our greatest problem that of staying out of
war:

It is very likely that we will not go to war with anyone if we
obey a simple rule which some people call the eleventh command-
ment. That rule is, of course. ”mind your own business.” Stop
worrying about situations in Europe, Spain, or China. Don’t try
to protect some big oil company's interests in Mexico. Our prob-
lems are here in our own country. \Vhen we've solved the prob-
lems of unemployment, housing, education, and dozens of oth—
ers, then we can think about the German minority in Czecho-
sloyakia.

Remember, if the United States becomes involved in a war
it will be our fault. The only good reason for fighting would be
to defend our country against an invading army and you can rest
assured no nation is big enough to think of attempting this. Yes,
if we mind our own business the United States of America a hun—
dred years from now will still be the “land of the free."

, THE CITADEL

By A. J. Cronin

It is fitting that the first book
to be reviewed this year should be
a best seller of the past months.
More than likely a large number of
readers have already read “The
Citadel” by A. J. Cronin, but for
the benefit of those of you who
haven’t, I am going to review this
story of a young doctor’s struggle.

The story concerns one Andrew
Manson, a penniless young assist-
ant to a Welsh general practitioner.
Young Doctor Manson is under 0b—
ligation to the Glen Endowment
through which he had been able to
continue his course at St. Andrews,
at the death of his widowed mother.
This fund later enabled him to
study at the medical schools in Dun-
dee. Andrew possessed an inherent
and inconvenient honesty which led
him to accept a position in South
Wales. He chose this in preference
to a clinical appointment at Edin-
burg Royal which he would much
rather have had, but that it would
have forced him to put off the re-
payment of the loan from the en-
dowment.

Upon arriving in Blaenelly, he
finds his immediate superior, Doctor
Page, afflicted with a paralysis
which prevents him from carrying
on the practice himself. Young An-
drew was forced to take over the en-
tire practice at a miserly stipend.
Dr. Page is completely under the
control of his wife whose main des—
ire seems to be to get all the work
possible out of Page’s assistant. at
the least sum of money. Although
everybody in the village gradually
comes to know that Dr. Page will
never be able to take over his prac-
tice again, she alone tries to keep
up a front.

Soon after his arrival Andrew is
paid a visit by Philip Denny, a M.
S. whq has been driven to Blaenelly
and drink by the desertion of an
unsympathetic wife. Denny and
Manson come oft in contact and
become fairly close friends to the
disgust of Blodwen Page. Denny
and Manson secretly blow up the
town‘s unsanitary sewer system,
thereby forcing the installation of
a new system.

Andrew meets and falls in love
with one of the schoolteachers. Af—
ter inauspiciously starting their
friendship with a quarrel they be-
come fast friends, and when An-
drew is tentatively offered a posi-
tion for which he would be more
acceptable if burdened with wife he
accepts. After which he hurries
back to Blaenelly to see if Christine
will have him. Luckily for him she
accepts his proposal because An-
dre whad previously “given notice"
at Doctor Page’s.

Abelalaw is the setting for their

lnew life together and although An-

drew has some trouble in acquiring
the friendship and trust of the com—
munity. he finally wins out. Doctor
Manson becomes interested in the
prevalence of tuberculosis among
the anthracite workers and writes

a thesis on this subject which brings
‘him into correspondence with Mr.
1Stillman of Oregon. Trouble over
his right to use guinea pigs in con—
nection with this thesis causes him
to hand in his resignation imme-
diately after winning his case and
take a holday.

After this holiday the Mansons
return, not to the little town in
Wales, but to London to continue
his work under the auspices of the
coal and metalliferous mines fatigue
board of M. F. B. Working in a
laboratory in the building which
houses this organization is a Doc-
tor Hope, an ironic man who be-
comes ,a flast friend of Andrew.
Andrew is contented until he dis-
covers that there is very little
chance of his getting to carry on
his own field of work for some
time. He finally hands in his resig-
nation here also.

Manson and his wife, Christine,
buy a private practice in London,
and manage somehow, to live on
Andrew’s small, and few, fees until
they are invited to dinner with a
wealthy doctor, a friend of Andrew’s

WE AND THEY

w

 

Well, here we are again, starting
the new year with a clean slate.
We have not as yet received any
papers to review or criticize.

As you probably know, the ex-
change column is for the purpose
of knowing the what, why, and
wherefore of other schools. Though
we cannot visit all the schools, we
can tell by their papers in exchange
for ours just what they are doing,
in what fields they are growing,
the appearance and size of their
alma mater. Thus, even if we
haven‘t been formally introduced
we can know other schools through
their public actions.

You other schools! We won’t for-
get your friendliness towards us.
Each individual of your school adds
to our enjoyment in reading both
your papers and our exchange col-
umns. We are as interested as you
as to whether you have a good, foot-
ball team, or how many new stu—
dents have been enrolled this year,
or how your new athletic fields are
coming along. We need your papers,
yes, every one.

However, it is not only that you
give us enjoyment. You also give us
records to live up to. By reading
what you have been doing in scho‘
lastic and athletic activities, we are
made more ambitious at least to
live up to your records, and you
can bet your boots we do our best
to beat You.

But these two reasons, the es-
tablishment of friendly relations
and friendly competition, aren’t the
only ones. Another very important
one is the opportunity of comparing
our ideas and activities with yours.
No one can possibly know the good
which has been derived from oth-
ers viewpoints, activities and cus-
toms. By just scanning through an-
other school’s paper you can un—
consciously absorb many ideas. Just
think what you could if you con-
centrated on learning from other
schools.

Miraculously, my space is nearly
