look forward to. They chose their
vacations with care that their time
might be put to the best use.

Miss West spent July and August
in a trip to Europe. As a member
of a party of six. she first took a
Mediterranean cruise which lasted
two weeks. Among the places they
visited were Lislon, Portugal, Algeria,
and Sicily. They landed at Naples,
Italy, and visited the Italian cities,
Rome, Florence, and Venice. From
there they went to Austria, Berlin,
and saw the Passion Play in Ger-

THREE BITS

By BEEH BHEE

Ever heard 120 people cough at
the same time? Ought'a been in
the cafeteria Monday, September
23, 1934, Twentieth Century A. D.
The refrigerator busted (burst)
and let out some species of gas.
If one person wasn’t coughing,
two, three or four were. You’d
think they had coughinjitis. Some
people felt that this coughing
might mean coffin, but most of us
laughed (and coughed) it off.
One, two, three, cough.

Don’t those High School boys
really sit up and sing when Miss
Morse leads them. They seem to
be feeling that ”it’s a long, long
trail" to their “home on the
range” where the deer and the
cantaloupe play “in the evening”
by the “moonlight and roses,” but
“keep the home fires burning” “till
the moon comes over the moun-
tain," and they’ll come “sailing
home."

Poor Mr. Crayton has to, when
saying “Mary had a ittle Lamb"
say:

Mary possessed a diminutive genuis
Ovis,

Whoses hersute epidermis resem-
bled snow,

And wheresoever Mary perambu-
lated,

That genuis Ovs spontaniously did
go.

He accompanied her to her abode

Which was undeniably contrary
to the rule,

Ah, those youthful genius Humans

wish that the Training school have

material for one.

The Student Council will be re-
organized as that is the custom each
fall. The Sophomores, Juniors, and
Seniors will elect two members from
each of their home rooms, while the
seventh, eighth, and ninth grades
will elect one member from each
home room.

Collegiate Groups
Pledge Graduates

University High was in tears last
year when it opened its doors for our
senior class to march stately out.
But the University of Kentucky was
all smiles because they were await—
ing with open arms to take our
seniors in to their social activities.

They showed their appreciation of
our graduates by immediately taking
them into their sororities and fra—
ternities. The Kappa Kappa Gam-
ma sorority was very lucky in ob-
taining Misses Jane Freeman, and
Jeanne Belt as pledges. A number
of the fraternities were also very
fortunate in having our boys pledge
their organizations. The fraterni-
ties that U-High boys pledged were:
Delta Tau Delta, Robert Olney, Rob-
ert Fish, John Chambers; Pi Kappa
Alpha, Robert Stilz; Alpha Tau
Omega, Lloyd Mahan; Kappa Alpha,
Ethelbert Breckinridge, and Sigma
Phi Epsilon, Dudley Kelly.

The University of Kentucky was
fortunate indeed to have so many
of our graduates attend their univer-
sity. But other colleges were also
very lucky. Sewanee and Lawrence-
ville are the schools to be exact.

Messrs. Sammy Walton, Hendree
Milward, and Carrick Shropshire
are attending Sewanee. Mr. Hope
Wiedeman is attending Lawrence—
ville, a preparatory school for
Princeton.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Koppius is
attending Breneau College for girls.

Our graduates have chosen diff-
erent types of schools for their col—
lege education but they will work
for high honors in the colleges of
their choice.

John Courtney attended Camp

he perfected his swimming and boat-
ing.

Among those attending the World’s
Fair in Chicago were Charles Kellv.

Potter. and Mary Ann Stilz at-
tended the Girl Reserve Tri-State
conference at Camp Lenmary in
Indiana. They received many bene-

should help to make the club of this
year better than it has ever been.

Among those who vacationed at
Camp Otonka were Eythl Land Byrd.
Dorothy Woolcott, Betty Mitchell.
Janet Fergus, Mary Conant, and
Mary James.

Gladys Dimock, Ann Chambers,

They took trips to Detroit and other
points of interest near the camp.

Mr. Crayton completed the work
for his doctor’s degree at Indiana
university at Bloomington, Indiana.
Later he and Mrs. Crayton motored
up the eastern coast through New

in

 

England and into Canada. The trip
occupied about three week’s time.

High-Lights Staff
Picnics at Camp

The annual staff picnic for the
writers and workers of U-Hi-Lights
was held Wednesday, September 26
at Camp Suits-Us on the Kentucky
river, owned by the parents of Mary
Anne Stilz.

As the camp was on the river
many of the party went in swim-
ming. For those who did not swim,
cards were furnished and a great
many games were played. A player
piano supplied musk. Another pop-
ular pastime for the hungry was to
haunt the kitchen until supper.

The biggest feature of the evening
was the supper consisting of hot
coffee, steaks, and buns, pickles, po-
tato chips, sandwiches of mayonaise,
and as a desert gingerbread was
served. Those in charge of the plans
for the picnic ‘were Donald Van
Irvine, Gladys Dimock, and Leigh
Brown.

After supper for an hour or so,
some of the party danced, with music
being furnished by the player piano.
A few games and cards were also
played until about 8:30 p. m. when
the picnic ended.

money for the supper and trans—
portation was furnished by James

HELLO !

Welcome, newcomer! We know you’re going to like it
here, so make yourself at home. We’re glad to see you and we
hope you are glad to see us.

You know, you are in for the time of your life here at
University High. True, you’ll have to work, but we'bet that
when the year’s over you’ll say it’s the best old school you
ever attended. There are plenty of good times coming and
we want you to join in them with us. We are certainly glad
you’re here to share them.

If there’s anything you want to know or anyone you
want to meet, don’t wait for a formal introduction. Go right
up and say hello and get in the circle. They want you to.
There’s not a friendlier school in the U. S. than University
High, so get acquainted.

We hope you have as successful a time here as We had,
and hope that you dig in with the bunch as soon as possiblt.

Shake, newcomer!

OPPORTUNITIES

“Opportunity knocks but once,” says the old adage. Tak-
en literally, this would imply that there is a scarcity of oppor-
tunities. This, however, is not the case. Life is made up of
opportunities. We live in an atmosphere of them.

Like many other things with which we come in daily con—

tact, they are often taken as a matter of course and over-‘
looked entirely. If a single opportunity were the allotment of ,

a lifetime, we would undoubtedly take advantage of it, but
surrounded as we are by them we are prone to forget their
existence.

Each individual has his own set of opportunities with
which he may do as he chooses. These serve as steps in the
w1nd1ng stairway of success. The steps are of diver’s heights
so we must proceed cautiously in order to retain our footing.
Frequently we may find it impossible to take one huge step
in place of numerous small ones. However, if we choose to
turn our backs upon the staircase, we can no longer see our
way, and so can proceed but slowly. We are also in danger of
losmg the main staircase and following one of the lesser ones.

Perhaps you say, “But if the saying does not mean that
opportunities are few, what does it mean? It means simply
this; that the big opportunity of a lifetime comes but once.
If we fail to avail ourselves of this opportunity when it comes,
it is lost to us forever. We feel our way on up the stairway
with small hope of ultimately gaining the top. But if we
are alert and grasp this opportunity, the way becomes
straight and easy to follow.‘

Are not the words of the adage filled with warning—
warning not to miss the opportunity of our lifetime? Let’s
learn to take advantage of our opportunities as they offer
themselves to us that we may be ablt to recognize the big one
when it arrives.

THE U-HI-LIGHTS
THE U-HI LIGHTS IS REBORN

The first issue!

It holds promise of what is to come and lays a founda-
tion for its successors. It is a measure by which unrealized
anticipations of the future are gauged. Like a vane, it tells
which way the wind lies. Perhaps, the breeze is favorable.
We sincerely hope that it is.

With this, the first publication for the 34—35 season, .the
staff takes up its task with new strength and determlnation.
There is a tradition behind us, which we must not only satis-
fy, but must build up to new heights; until this journalistic
year will be a mark aimed at for semesters to come. More

3 than that, we feel that, having been trusted with this pleas-

urable duty, we are honor bound to dispose it as best we
may. We hope that in our work on the paper we will please
you, for this is your paper. We want not only to make it the
best publication yet to be issued, but we want to make it the
most interesting to the reader. In features, news stories and

‘ departments we will strive for improvement. The addition

of new members to the staff will aid in this direction. Every
effort will be made for improvements in all phases of the

, club if she doesn’t ask you to keep

 

work.

Now that the new year has begun, the days will stride
swiftly to its close in May. That is a brief period, certainly.
In that fleeting stretch of weeks, proof will be tendered of

the worthiness of our paper.

New departments will be

formed; old ones will return. News stories will be lively and
accurate and features will be the best of their kind.

In December the Kentucky High School Press Associa-
tion convenes at the University. It is a fond hope of ours that
we will carry off some honors at that session; even more hon-
ors than have been won by the U-Hi Lights in the past.

These, then, are our hopes for the coming year. With

confidence, we sally into the future, whatever it may hold.

 

EXCllrlNGES .

Here we are beginning another
school year with about fourteen ex- ,
change columns ahead. Ah, woel
is me! i

The “Vide-Hi” from Culver Mili-I
tary Academy announces a new:
plan for the papers. Instead of
holding to the set ways of news-
paper technique, its editors will
endeavor to express individuality.
Editorials will be written only when
there is occasion for them. Head—
lines will not be confined to a cer-
tain number of spaces, but are to
be as long as necessary to express
the meaning of the article. We
wish you luck on your enterprise,
cadets.

Also from the Vide-Hi is one
boys’ opinion on that ever-impor-
tant subject—girls:

“Graham says that there are
two kinds of girls in his home
town, those who walk home from
automobile rides, and those who
ride home from walks.”

“In the M. M. I. Communicadet
we find several definitions of a.
neighbor:

A neighbor is the person who
will borrow anything in your house
from the living room suite to your
tooth brush.

A neighbor will bring you a pan
of hot rolls just when the one
thing in the world you want is
hot rolls.

A neighbor will keep your chil—
dren while you go to the brdge

 

hers first.

A neighbor will listen with both
ears while you have a family
fight.

A neighbor will lend you her new ,
pair of stockings before she has'
ever worn them. (Then she is not
only a neighbor but a Christian.

A neighbor will criticize you
when you are rich and lend you
money when you are broke.

A neighbor will fuss with you
when you‘re well, nurse you when,
you’re sick and lay you out when,
you die. ‘

In short, a neighbor is some-1
thing no home should be without. ‘

From the articles in the Western
Reserve Record many of the fac-;
ulty- and students must have had,l
enjoyable summers. Two instruc-l
tors traveled in Europe, one had
a honeymoon in Hawaii and the
others went to California, Canada,
or were councilors in various:
summer on a cruise in Europe,
another went to Canada and oth-—
ers were in Michigan or Maine at
their summer homes or camps.

After such grand vacations it
must be hard to settle down to
the routine of school.

PREVIEWS AND REVIEWS

By DONALD VAN IRVINE

At the Kentucky today:
“The Personality Kid”

Stacatto Pat O’Brien adds to his
list of performances the part of a
pugilist, in which, to be sure, he is,
slightly miscast. but nevertheless
gives a worthy rendition of afore—
mentioned part. The selection of
Mr. O’Brien as Ritzy, the egotistical
leather-pusher, may ai’fend your
sense of propriety a little if you have
seen him in his raucons repertorial
roles.

The story is trite, but well done.
Ritzy, the boxer believes he is win-
ning on his own ability as a fighter,
but he finds out that his victories
are but the deft frame-ups of his
manager-wife, Glenda Farrell. Out-
raged, he leaves Miss Farrell and
goes down, down, down, and down.
Having reached rock bottom, the
discovery that he is about to be-
come a parent inspires him to rise
once more. He accepts a framed
fight, crossed up the crossers, and
takes the dough home to the little
woman, which brings the picture to
the usual happy close.

At the Ben Ali today:
“Death on the Diamond”

David Landaw, manager of a base-
ball team. has staked his bottom
dollar on his team winning the pen-
nant. If he loses, a meanie of a
grafter will take over his squad.
Also, C. Henry Gordon (the villain,
hiss, hiss!) has one million dollars

, bet that Landaw’s team will lose, so

you can see what their victory would
mean to him. Then the slaughter
begins, and various members of the
team are murdered just as scores are
about to be made. Who did it?
Gordon, probably. But did he? The
eventual solution is found by Robert
Young. ace pitcher.

The supporting cast includes
Madge Evans, Ted Healy and Nat
Pendlton. You should enjoy this
one, so try to drop in.

THE GLOBE THEATRE

 

One of the most delightful amuse-
ments at the Chicago Fair was the
Globe Theatre in the English Vil-
lage. It was supposed to be an
exact reproduction of the Globe
Theatre where Shakespeare‘s plays

were acted before the audiences of
Merrie England. The theater was
round and from the outside had the
look of a fortification with narrow
windows and battlements on the top.
The real Globe Theatre was open to
the sky therefore the ceiling to this
one was blue and clouds passed by
and at night stars twinkled in the
darkness. The stage jutted out into
the pit. At the front of the stage
were two columns. and at the back
two. From these columns the cur-
tains were withdrawn at the brgin-
ning of an act and drawn at the
end. There were two pages dressed
in green who sat on the stage the
whole time, waiting for the signal
to draw the curtain. There were
three levels of action: the stage it—
self, a room recessed at the back
about five steps above the stage
level and with its own curtain, and
a balcony high above for the bal-
cony scene in Romeo and Juliet and
for angels to appear on in Doctor
Faustus.

Apart from what was done in
Shakespeare’s time ladies‘ parts were
not taken by men, but were taken by
capable actresses. and the male cast
was good too. The cast was said
to have come from England. Diction
of the players was pleasant, and the
tempo fast, they threw themselves
whole heartedl yinto the play, yet
they acted in unisi-on. The costumes
were excellent and the staging good.
Thousands came to sit on the rustic
benches for an hour to be carried
away by Shakespeare’s art as the
plays were abbreviated only to in-
clude the most beautiful and neces-
sary parts.

I saw three plays, Shakespeare‘s
“The Taming of the Shrew," “The
Comedy of Errors,” and Marlowe’s
“Doctor Faustus.” “The Taming of
the Shrew,” was acted with spirit.
In fact it was made slapstick for the
heroine‘swile temper was provtzdrbe-
fore the audience as well as the
hero’s jovial roughness. The Comedy
of Errors was also presented in a
very lively manner. It is the old
and forever funny it seems story of
mistaken identity caused in this case
by twin brothers called the Dromios
and their twin servants. Marlowe's
Doctor Faustus was much more re-
strained than the other two, and got
a much greater dramatic effect. It
is the same story of Wagner’s won—
derful opera, Faust—the story of a
learned professor who sold his soul
to the devil in order that he might
practice black magic. He conjures
Helen of Troy to whom he says:

“Ah, Helen thou art fairer than the
evening air,

Clad in the beauty of a thousand
stars.”

Angels call to him to rescue his soul
from the devil, then the devil ap-
pears in glistening armor with bat
wings and his face black and shin-
ning to reassure Faustus in his
wickedness. All that passes through
the mind of Faustus appear on the
stage. The abstract being create a
wonderful illusion, and when the
devil suddenly springs from behind
a column you do feel a shiver creep
up your spine.

After the play everybody goes out
on the village green where there is
ballet and music.

It seems like years since I have
taken out the old pen (now rusty)
to scribble off a few lines for our
dear old paper. If you have kept
your eyes open while strolling
through the halls I imagine you
have seen a lot of old faces, new
faces, dirty faces, and shiny faces.

How’s About Tomorrow Nite

Of course you all know who that
good-looking, friendly girl is with
the ever-ready smile, well if you
don’t I‘ll tell you. It‘s Jane Potter.
Now that you are formally intro-
duced the rest is up to you.

Kicking That Gong Around

Sure—Oh “Minnie the Moocher”—
Oh pardon me I mean Antoinette
Bergeron the girl with the “dreat
big eyes") How‘s she doin’ huh Carl?

Austin Triplett has really “broken”
into our premises with a bang. He
hails from the state of Texas but
seems to like tha. southern gals.
