News Briefs

By GEORGE ROGERS

 

 

 

Ah, the old familiar walls ring
again with the clamor of happy ('9)
students. Again the pupils trudge
their weary way down the rainbow
colored halls to pink and blue
classrooms.

In convocation Friday, September
21, Mr. Williams introduced his
successor, Mr. Seay, to the student
body. Mr. Seay gave a short speech
also introducing himself.

Mr. Kurachek doesn’t realize what
havoc he caused the editors, for by
canceling Outing Club he almost
eliminated the scandal column, the
back bone of the paper.

Rumor has it that during the
summer that old Boga—boo, marri—
age, crept upon another innocent
victim, Mr. Kemper. However, the
staff wishes Mr. and the new Mrs.
Kemper every happiness.

Director Heard
At Convocation

At the convocation last Friday,
the Stu dents of University High‘
were introduced to Mr. Maurice
Seay, director in the absence of Mr.i
J. D. Williams, who is going to!
Columbia to take some advanced
work. Mr. Seay was presented to
the student body by the retiring di-
rector. Mr. Williams, who told how
he and Mr. Seay had crossed each
other’s paths many times during
their educational work.

The subject of Mr. Seay’s talk
was “The Purposes of an Introduc-
tion.” These purposes were first, to
get the name right, and second, to
start an intelligent conversation,
which of course meant that he
wanted everyone to get his name
right and to see and make friends
with him. In connection with his
talk he told several amusing anec—
does. among them one in which the
preacher of the town in which they
lived gave a sermon about Mrs. A
who was good, Mrs. B. who was
wicked, and Mrs. C who was 'a
gossip. The connection is very ob-
Vious.

The Bible reading was conducted
by Jean Phipps.

On Friday, September 28, Miss
,Harriet Abraham, soprano, will give
a p:ogram of vocal selections. She
will be accompanied by Miss Jean
Marie McConnell. ,

 

OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN

!cussion Mildred Miller was elected
president and succeeds herself from

U-Hi Receives

New Teachers

University High welcomes several
new members to its faculty this
year. In the physical education
department they have Mrs. Stella
Spicer Gilb, who will be remembered
from former years, replacing Miss
Evelyn Coleman.

Taking the place of Mr. Mitchell,
who is taking extra duties, as
teacher of seventh and eighth
grade mathematics and second year
algebra is Mr. V. L. Christian, grad-
uate of Teachers College, Columbia,
New York, and of George Peabody
College for Teachers, Nashville,
Tennessee. Mr. Christian was su-
perintendent of schools in Horse
Cave, Kentucky, previous to his
position at University High.

Miss Dorothy Cleek, graduate of
the University of Kentucky and
former psychologist at Eastern
State Hospital has assumed her
duties as new psychologist.

In the music department are Mr.
Charles V. Magurean, who will
teach bass and woodwind instru-
ments and direct the Universiity
High band. Mr. Magurean studied
at Vander Cook School, Chicago,
and directed the Public School of
Music in Tennessee. Mr. Robert
B. Ogle, a baritone soloist, and
student of Chicago, New York, and
Rome, Italy, will have charge of
junior and senior boys’ glee club at

.University High and all vocal mu-

sic at the University of Kentucky.
Teaching piano classes at University
High is Mr. John Richardson, stu-
dent of New England Conservatory
of Music. Miss Gertrude Straight
of Victoria, British Columbia, will
be graduate assistant in music.

U-Hi Students Wander Far

 

It seems that during the summer
there was a general exodus of U.-
Hi student from the city. West,
east, north, and south, all directions,
lbut they all went.

Marion Pirkey took an extensive
tour of Europe—France, Switzerland,
and Italy. G. B. Brown went to
Canada; Arthur and Mary Beth
MacFarlan spent the summer in
Clearwater, Florida. George Rogers
went to Houston, Texas.

Lewis Sawin went to the New York
World’s Fair early in the summer
and later to Point Nipigon, Michi-
gan. Others who visited the fair
were: Dan Marshall, Julia Foley,
Mary Jane Grimes, Betty Anne Al-
len, Marie Thompson, Mr. Betz, and
J. L. Vallandingham who went to
both the New York fair and the
:San Francisco Exposition. Also at-

' tending the San Francisco fair were
the Marlowe twins.

 

 

Dan Marshall, Nixe Peak and Nel-
son Wooloott drove to Norris Dam
and the Great Smokies in Dan’s car.
While there it is rumored that they
stopped at a tourist home because
some young lady of fair features
was also there.

Virginia Cornell and Betty Anne
Ginnochio went to Camp Otanka
while Mildred Moore attended Camp
Pavino.

Turning to our faculty, Dr. and
Mrs. Miller went to the Smokies
where Mrs. Miller and a horse
climbed a mountain — incidentally
the horse lived. Miss Peck took a
trip through the east—Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Virginia. The por-
tion which imperssed her most was

Act As Adviser To Seay

Mr. J. D. Williams, who has since
1935 been the director of the Uni-
versity school, has left us to take a
well deserved leave of absence this
year at Columbia. Mr. Williams
was accompanied by Mrs. Williams
and their small daughter. While at
Columbia, MhWilliams will take
courses in psychology, sociology and
economics. and the administration
of teacher education. His classes
began Tuesday, and he will be hard

Coach Kemper
Takes A Bride

Significant among the events of
the summer was that of the wed-
ding of our coach and teacher, Mr.
D. C. Kemper, and Miss Katherine
Hammock.

They were married on August 2,

at the bride’s home in London, Ky.
Coach Adolph Rupp and his wife
were the only guests outside of t e1
immediate family. After the wed-‘
ding a small reception was held at
Mrs. Hammock's home in honor of
the bridal pair. ,

Mr. and Mrs. Kemper then left;
for an extensive motor trip includ-'
ing the Skyline Drive in Virginia,
New York and the World’s Fair, the
New England States, Quebec, Toron-
to, and Niagara Falls.

Mrs. Kemper has been the Place-
ment Bureau secretary of the Uni—
versity of Kentucky since 1931. Mr.
Kemper entered here from Owens-
boro in 1929.

At present they are at. home on
1401 Audubon Avenue.

PURPLE POUNDERS WIN

Yesterday the Purple Founders

highly touted Metropoles 14 to 11.

officers from each class sponsored

It is interesting to note that the
careers of Mr. Williams and Pro-
fessor Seay have followed each
other in many instances. Professor
Seay was at one time, several years
ago, principal at Danville. He
moved to Barbourville. Mr. Wil-
liams came to Danville. Later, Mr.
Williams went to Norris Dam; Pro-
ifessor Seay was there at the same
ltime. Their jobs here, one as di-
rector of the University school, the
other as head of the Bureau of
School Service, have coincided. Now
Professor Seay steps in to fill Mr.
William’s shoes while he is away.
The school year of 1939-40 will find
a capable head in charge, as always.

New Students
Welcomed To
University Hi

As the new school year 1939-40
comes up on the calendar, Univer-
sity Hi finds many new students in
its enrollment to fill the vacancies
of the 1938-39 year.

The Senior Class welcomes Audrey
Koppel from Chicago, Kenneth
Miller, from Adrian, Michigan, and
Iva Leggett, who comes from Bryan
Station.

The Juniors rate two new mem-
bers: Lorraine Smith of Lexington,
and Don Hollingsworth from St.
Louis. ‘

The Sophomores also have two
new members, Mary Jane Gallaher
and Sam Wagers.

The new Freshmen are John Hol-
lingsworth, Donald Koppel from
Chicago, and Hubert Mulder, bro-
ther of John Mulder.

Mr. Williams’ Absence

The students of University High School great-
ly regret the departure of their director for this
coming year. We who have come up with him
ever since he first came to University High have
been looking forward very much to graduating
under his leadership. His leaving will be more
of a loss to the graduating class than to the un-
derclassmen who will graduate under him the
following years. We only hope that his stay at
Columbia will be an exceedingly pleasant one
and that the benefits which he gains from his
year there will help make University High the
best high school in all America.

Now let's look at a brighter side of the pic-
ture. Our new director, Mr. Seay, comes to us
with the highest recommendations from Mr.
IVilliams. From that, we know that the position
will be most ably filled. Not only will we have
Mr. Seay but we will also have Mr. Mitchell as
acting principal. So you see, we will have excel-
lent leadership throughout the entire school
year. The truth of the matter is that we, the
students, are in a way a little spoiled. IVe have
been used to such excellent guidance that we
wouldn’t know do without it. Cer—
tainly this year will prove as successful as ever,
if Mr. \Villiams is leaving us.

what to

The staff of the U-Hi Lights as well as every
student in the school wishes Mr. Williams a very
successful year. In order to make his stay seem
as short as possible, we are going to send him
each issue of the U-Hi Lights. Thus in our small
way we hope that you, Mr. Williams, will be
able to keep that watchful eye on your students
even though you are nine hundred miles away
from us. (

 

School—War

It does not seem to make any difference whe-
ther people are killing each other over in
Europe or not, school starts on its merry (P) way
anyhow. They may be sounding the air~raid
alarm over there, but they do not stop the old
school bell from ringing at U-Hi. No fooling,
here we are back again, and I think that we
should, since they are so bent on tearing up
everything across the pond, be more careful

 

than ever of what we have right here. I mean,
the building of old U—Hi.

As all the students of University High know,
we have no rules and regulations here that force
us to toe the mark. We have no proctors, which
position it seems to me just about corresponds
to that of a trusty in a prison. If we take a
little care, we won't need any.

In the first place, we ought to be glad that we
are going to school at all. Millions of boys and
girls can not go to school and certainly wish
they could return, free from the menace of
air raids and artillery fire.

In the second place, we should take care not
to deface the building. There are certainly some
glaring examples of the sculptor's art on our
front columns. \Ve could be a lot more con-
structive and show our appreciation much more,
if we cut that out.

Third, how about littering up the halls. You
may be a big league pitcher, but please toss
your strikes into the waste basket, instead of into
the corner. This goes not only for candy wrap-
pers but for paper towels as well.

In conclusion, let’s do all we can to keep our
school in good condition, not only to please the
teachers and to satisfy our sense of pride in
our school, but also to let everybody know that
you know you're better off than those poor kids
in Europe.

 

Propaganda

Once more the guns of an armed Europe are
roaring their message of strife and chaos, once
again the Powers are engaged in a struggle for
their very existence. Even here, in America,
the war fever is kindled. The movies begin with
the national anthem, marches and patriotic
hymns are heard over the radio. Here in Lex-
ington a recruiting drive was begun with a
band concert on the courthouse steps.

You may ask, “How does all this concern me?”
This question vitally concerns every high school
and college boy and girl. If America should
be involved, it is the high school and college boys
who will march off Io glory with the determina
tion to “return with their shields or on them,"
only to return on them.

America can and must be kept out of war, and
our government is taking all steps to that effect,
but you, the students of U-Hi can help. Today,
everybody seems to be talking and thinking war.
Boys jokingly refer to the guns they will receive
as diplomas and the free trip to Europe at the
government's expense. This is definitely the
wrong attitude. Instead of thinking war; think
peace, tall: peace, and believe peace. If you
believe that war is inevitable keep it to your-
self. 111 this way you can help keep peace in
America.

 

Defeat, A Victory

“Nothing in his life became him as the leaving
of it” is quoted as a line from Shakespeare’s
“l\~Iacbeth.” lt referred to a person who was a
traitor to the king of Scotland and was final'ly
executed. Although he has been ignored while
alive, he was so gallant in death, that the king
paid him tribute. This man who was a traitor
and had failed in his attempt to overthrow the
king, was honored. That was the value of a
failure.

Anyone can take a victory, therefore people
can not be judged by their victories, but by their
defeats and failures. Therein is the test of a
man. If defeat can be taken with the same smile
as victory, a victory has been gained.

If a student enters a competition in the school
and fails; this failure should be taken in the
same good spirit as a victory. A failure well-
taken is never held against a person. Learn to
profit by your failures, they have a high value in
life—Tech Life, Washington, D. C.

 

THIS VVEEK’S POSTER SAYS:

The object of Discipline is not to repress In-
dividuality—but to serve as the rungs of a ladder
which enables youth to mount to the height of
Self Defense. When that is accomplished char-
acter is built and education has achieved the
chiefest end—Commentator, Irvine, Ky.

 

 

 

‘ WE AND THEY

 

Well, here we are starting out the
first exchange column with oh such!
an anemic-looking blank page bold-
ly staring us in the face. So maybe
I should try to start filling t?) it
up.

As you know, the main reason
for an exchange column is to trade
ideas (or anything else you might
want to call them) with other
schools both in Kentucky and oth—
er states. Each issue of the U-Hi
Lights is sent to about. fifty differ-
ent schools anywhere “from the
rock bound coast of the Atlantic to
the sunny shores of the Pacific.” And
incidentally, if there's somebody or
something going to some other
school that you want to get some
dirt on this is a wonderful way to
keep tab on ’em. The only trouble
is that they can keep track of you1
which is verra, verra, sad. Why on-
ly last year there was a tragic case
of a. young man who had to be good
all year so his name wouldn’t get
in the scandal column. Tsk! Tsk!

 

He should have tried bribing.

Don‘t get the idea though that
keeping up with people is the only
asset ('9?) of exchanging papers.f
Often you can really get some quite‘
valuable ideas from rival schools.
F’rinstance, you who can’t keep up.

Iota—get this finished soon
Tau—be or not to be

So you see I did know what I
was talking about, kinda, maybe,

Attention! Something very im-
portant is casting a blot. on the
fair (1’) face of the exchange col—
umn. To be specific, it is (ahem)
its name! Does anyone know a
scrambunctious, wonderful, colossal,
gigantic name that could be applied
to this column (no profanity ac-
cepted!) Can anyone think of a
cognomen which would pick ’em up
and throw ’em down??? Huh? If
anyone can help us in this dire
need please turn in the name to
Miss Anderson or anybody else that
will take it. Come comrades, don’t
let us down. ’ ‘

Well. I guess that’s just about all.

DEAR

By BETSY KNAPP

DIARY

 

 

Dear Diary:

Well, things have been happening
lately. I sometimes wonder what
this old school is coming to. Of

course there’s the old saying, “Ash-
es to ashes, and Dump to dump.’

It"s grand to have a few new

faces to greet in the hall, and a.

few new things to think about.
Frankly, dear Diary, I do sometimes
get tired of telling you all about
the same old people, the same old
things in the same old way.
Believe it or not, I was not tardy
this morning. In fact, I arrived in
the southwest corner (I hope that's
right;
direction) to find that the class—
room was decidedly empty. How-
ever, when Dooney appeared, I
concluded that there was to be a
class because I know that he does
not haunt the school unless abso-
lutely necessary. Algebra is very
interesting in a vague sort of way.
Esther appears to be trying a
combination of the air of tragedy
and an affectation of coyness at
one and the same time. Margaret

is just Margaret. As for the rest of t

the Senior Class, they are about
the same. The juniors are ’raring
to go,‘ and sad be the fate of
those who attempt to argue. The
personality of the Sophomore class
as a whole as far as I can see has
not yet made itself evident.

I’m somewhat hazy as to,

| The Czarina of the Third Hour
lStudy Hall and the Empress of the
lKingdom of the Library were on
lthe warpath. A few poor scholars
somewhat resembled the balls used
in a game of tennis when in play.
Another example of controlled de-
mocracy: Ban placed on the wear-
ing of ribbons by a closed corpora-
ltion for pleasure‘s sake.

The lunch line does dwindle from
day to day. So does the crowd in
the front hall. Little book of scrib-
blings, did you hear, by any chance,
something which sounded like a
feud between the Martins and the
Coys? Well, that was Emmett’s
runabout. Yes, really!

When French begins to interfere
with the
