Of The Council

MISS WEST STILL HEAD}

l

The representatives for the Stu—I
dent Government were elected last
week for the coming year.

Student Government members arel
elected by the point system based}
upon activities and above average‘
grades of the last semester’s work.
Those elected for 1940—1941 are sen-
iors: Edith Conant, Jeanne Valleau,
Carroll Robie, Billy Gabbert; jun-
iors: Ellen Marshall, Betty Ann
Ginocchio, Billy Mathoades, Ben
Buckley; sophomores: Mary Jane
Grimes, Mary Simpson. As yet
representatives have not been chosen
by the sophomore boys, freshmen,
and seventh and eight grades.

Last year the Student Govern-
ment members had a very useful
year. They were responsible for the
beginning of work on a recreation
room for the high school and were
also fortunate in being able to send
two representatives to a convention
in Charleston, W. Va.

(re/This year the Comicil under the
direction of Miss Mary West, facul-
ty advisor, has several important
tasks to accomplish. Again they
are planning to send two students
to a convention which is going to
be held in Tulsa, Okla. These trips
to the conventions are very worth
while. It not only brings back good
ideas for the Council but it also
gives the individual a better idea
of what the Council does.

 

THIS-N-THAT

By Billy Hockaday

 

 

 

Steamships in 1625!

According to an eminent histori-
cal authority, the English came over
to Jamestown in the early 17th cen-
tury on steamships. This astound-
ing news was released by Miss Anna
B. Peck, historical teacher in the
Education building of the Unwer»
sity of Kentucky. Miss Peck seemed
a little embarrassed after forwar ing
this statement. ??

At Last

I’ll leave out the “flash” in the
heading of this paragraph to make
a little variety, and do we need

 

variety! For long and painstaking
years the W.P.A. workers have la
bored on our tennis courts. There
was no variey in this for some, be—
cause as “one project became half
finished they would start a new one.
But at last a tennis court has been
finished and that is a pleasing kind
of variety. Lets all play tennis.
Standing Invitation

As we all know well, Mr. Williams
is back with us again after his stay1
in New York. He mentioneed in
his speech in assembly on the 20th
that he would like his next speech
to be invited instead of more or
less compulsory. I think that all of
us feel the same way, and Mr. Wil-
liams may consider it a standing in—
vitation to speak to us in assembly.

RADIO SERIES
GETS UNDER WAY

WITH THREE PLAYS

The Microphone Players of Uni—
versity High School opened their
new series of radio plays Tuesday,
September 17.

The purpose of these programs is
to dramatize outstanding American
classics to a high point of interest
in the story, and then close by re—
ferring the listener to his local li-
brary. This should encourage more
reading of better books.

The series opened with “The Auto
crat of the Breakfast Table” which
was written about Oliver Wendell
Holmes. This play is especially
cherished for its wit and charm,
but not everyone knows that is is
suppose to contain Holmes own love
story. 'rnose who participated in
“The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table” were: Lucy Meyer, Sissie
Smith, Dick Arnspiger, John Mulder,
Jeanne Valleau. Fred Wachs. Mary
Beale Mylar.

The second play presented by the
Microphone Players was, “The Man
Without a Country" which might
have been called a story Without an
author when it appeared. unsigned,
in the Atlantic Monthly seventy-
four years ago. It is the story of
Philip Nolan who requested in the
court room that he might never see
nor hear of the United States of
America again and was put on out—
bound ships and so sailed the seven
seas. Those who took part in the
play were: Fred Wachs, Dick Arn-
spiger, Bob Moler, Buddy Brown,
John Dupre, Jimmy Morris, Lela
Nichols, Bob Collins, and Irwin
Stern.

HEADS GIRL RESERVE

I

MISS ELIZABETH ANDERSON

The Girl Reserve Club of Univer—
sity High has started the year with
a new sponsor. Miss Peck, who for
many years acted as sponsor, has
retired, and Miss Elizabeth Anderson
has taken her place as Faculy Ad—
viser.

Miss Anderson is Home Economics
teacher for all classes in Junior and
Senior High, and Home Room tea-
cher for the Sophomore girls. She
came to University High in nine-1
teen hundred thirty-seven from Ver-
sailles High school, where she had
teaching.

 

 

 

been

Miss Anderson was a member of
the Paris High School Girl Reserves
and held the office of treasurer in
her club. She has attended several
Girl Reserve Conferences. These
conferences open to all Girl Re-
serves who wish to get inspiration
and instruction in the building up
of active clubs.

Miss Anderson, because of her
work in Home Economics, is espe-
cially good in helping with the food.
The food for the suppers has become
a real problem to the entire club.

The retirement of Miss Peck is
deeply regretted, but the club warm-
‘y welcomes Miss Anderson as its

 

new sponSrIr.

 

' Williams Talks

At First Convo

The first convocation of this
school year was held Friday the
twentieth at one o‘clock in the
school auditorium.

Professor J. D. Williams. director
of University School, presented a
very fine and interesting talk on
our school.

Mr. Williams, who has been away
a year studying at Columbia Uni-
versity in New York, told how ex-
periences which he had had this
summer enabled him to believe more
and more in the form of education
we have at University School.

He stated that learning was not
achieved best by the method of
school work alone, but by having
the experience and putting to use
your knowledge of what arises in
your everyday problems. Also Pro-
fessor Williams suggested something
about the government in this school
by the pupils themselves. Let the
student body make suggestions to
problems in the school, or tell what
they want in the way of convoca—
tion programs so as to get the most
from them.

In other words let teachers and
‘ndent body work hand and hand
for the benefit of our school, so
as to be more democratic.

Outing Club Meets

The first meeting of the Outing
Club of the school year was assem—
bled at hdith Conant’s farm off the
Elkchester Pike Thursday after~
noon September 19.

The Cars assembled at the back
of the school around 4:30 and then
proceeded directly to the farm. At
the beginning of the Elkchester
pike all freshmen had to get out of
the cars and were made to walk to
the farm which was about three
miles. Another part of the initia-
tion was the spreading of lipstick on
the freshmen.

Afterwards a hard game of cap-
ture the flag was played until time
to leave for home. Our chaperones
were Mr. Kuracheck and Mr. Betz.

 

 

 

 

U-Hians Hit Summer Trail

 

 

With the closing of School last
May many of the students and
faculty of University High School
heard the “call of the road” and
“shook. the dust from their heels"
to start out on a long summer of
going places and seeing things.
First of these travelers was Miss
Elizabeth Anderson who, among
other places, visited New York City,
Virginia Beach, and New Orleans.
Another members of the faculty to
make an extension trip during the
summer was Mr. Betz, who, accord—
ing to all reports, traveled “from
the rock—bound coast of Maine to
the sun-kissed shores of California."

-Seriously, though, while gathering

information, I learned that Mr. Betz
was reported to have been in Myrtle
‘Beach, South Carolina, and in Mex-
ico simultaneously, which is quite
a feat, even for Mr. Betz. Miss
Grace Anderson spent some of her
summer teaching and some studying
ing at Chicago University. Mrs. Mil—
ler, Mr. Betz, Miss Shipman, and

[Miss Peck, attended the work shop

of the Southern Education Con-
ference.

Now let us turn to some of the
journeyings of members of the stu-
dent body. Fritzie Liebel, it seems,
traveled nearly all summer long. At
least, she covered a great amount of
territory, Canada, points of interest
in New England, New York, and of
course the World’s Fair and Wash-
ington D. C. Speaking of well—
rounded vacations, listen to this:
Lela Nichols went from Lexington to
Atlanta, Ga., where she attended a
Girl Reserve Conference, back to
Lexington, then to Washington, D.
0., back home again and finally to
a hotel resort in Myrtle Beach, S.
Carolina.

John Dupre was in Michagan for
several days, and then almost as
soon as he was home off he went
again, this time to Buzzard’s Bay, in
Mass. Emily Knight must like to
travel too, for she took a lengthy
trip to Florida, and stopped at all
the places of interest along the way.

Billy Gabbert left Lexington in the
middle of the summer to be a coun-
selor at Camp Petosega, in Michigan.
On the way home he stopped at
Chicago, among other places, where

 

 

 

it is reported that he had a gay
old time.

Ellen O'Bannon had an exciting
time “shooting the rapids" on an
extensive canoe trip in connection
with the northern camp she stayed
at. Nancy Ellen Taylor was an-
other traveler to the Smoky Moun—
tains. She also visited Boston, and
other points in New England. John
Mulder went to Pennsylvania and
later to Gettysburg. Lucy Meyer de-
serted Lexington for the Maine (pun
intended) part of the summer.
Mary Jo and Christine Whitehouse
journeyed to Washington D. C.

Ewing Brown, Mary Jane Galleher,

and Jane and Carolyn Thomas all
went to various camps.
Of course these are not all the
travelers away from Lexington. I’m
sure nearly all of us at one time or
another visited relatives or friends
and I can’t think of anyone who
wasn’t at Herrington Lake for a
short time at least.

Whether we went away or stayed
at home, from all reports everyone
was happy an that is practically all
that counts for a glorious summer.

Together Again!

The summer months have passed, and we are
together again for another year of work and
play. Some of us are new and inexperienced
, in our work and surroundings. \Ve have stepped
into greater responsibilities and must accept
these responsibilities with eagerness and with
the urge and desire to go ahead and do these
asks wholeheartedly and earnslly.

For th Seniors, it is their last year in high
school. The years that have been gloriously
termed, “the best years of your life.”

To the underclassmen, will come the training
of preparedness for leadership in the coming
years.

Both, those that have had experience, and
those that are inexperienced are needed in
the various phases of school work to make a
successful year. The accomplishments of both
will serve in the future of our school.

The future of our school is in your hands,
you as an individual or you as a student body
can make or break its reputation. The students
who have gone before us have made a reputa-
tion, worthy of the schools name, the University
School, let us, the students of 1940-1941 keep
in line with this tradition and uphold our repu-
tation of being one of the best schools in the
country.

We must remember to keep loyalty, sincerity,
and cooperation in our minds. Loyalty to our
classes and classmates, sincerity in our work
and aims, cooperation with the teachers, with
the clubs and the student body as a whole.

Thus, in the coming year of school, let us strive
to make it the happiest and most successful of
all, the past, and equal, if not better than tlIt‘
years that follow after.

Purpose Of U-Hi

J. D. WILLIAMS, Guest Writer
University High has a purpose. Its purpose is
to create and maintain an environment which
will stimulate the development of “men and
women whose feelings toward the world and its

 

people are right; whose knowledge of accurate
and broad; who think' with trained minds; and
whose actions, while expressing individuality,
contribute to the welfare of the group, the state,
and the world in which they live."

University High cooperates with each mem
ber of the student body in establishing his high
purposes. This procedure is responsible for the
hard work that is being done by many students.
Most of us will work hard on those things in
which we are interested and that will contribute
to our immediate or ultimate purposes. Few of
us will work hard on something inconsistent
with our purposes simply because someone de
mands that we should.

University High believes in the democratic
way of living. The acquiring of a group conscious-
ness is developed hand in hand with other
needs of the individual student. Basic to all of
our actions is the inspiration for the dignity of
man. The future of democracy in the world may
well rest upon the shoulders of the American
people during the years and decades immediate-
ly ahead. Therefore it is most important that
those boys and girls now in high school should
understand democracy, show it works and how
to participate in its working. Every opportunity
that presents itself for students, teachers, parents,
and others to work togeher co-operatively and
democratically is utilized. “’0 strive honestly
and effectively to apply the ideas, values, and
outlooks that are consistent with democracy.

University High belim cs that such a program,
if honest and vigorous, has more appeal to the
youth of America than the brutal and savage
doctrines and practices, the tribal loyalties and
worship, the racial and national lIatrcds. the
sadism and persecutions, the cult of unreason
and anti-science of fascism.

University High is developing in each slu«
dent a feeling of personal competence and ad
quacy; a profound allegiance to the principle of
human equality, brotherhood, dignity, and worth;
a deep loyalty to the process of free discussion
and criticism, to the great liberties of thought.
belief, speech, press, assemblage, and petition:
a mentality marked by fairmindedness, intellecz
tual integrity, respect for truth, faith in the hu-
man mind, and loyaly to scienific method and
spirit; a sense of the fundamental obligation to
work; and an enlightened devotion to the com~
mon good. -

Finally, University High students are happy
in their school work. Happiness is the result
of balance, poise, achievement, acceptableness
and adequacy on the part of the individual.

These characteristics make University High
outstanding among the secondary education in»
stitutions of the United States. We feel that the
purposes expressed and the program described
will contribute most to the moral, spiritual,
mental. and physical defense of our great dc
mocracy in these critical times.

Tribute To Miss Peck

It is with genuine regret that the Girl Re
serve Club of University gives up Miss Anna
B. Peck as club sponsor.

But more important than that we congratu-
late ourselves on having been privileged to be
with her so long.

There are few people that have the ability
to bring out one’s best and this greatest tribute
to any teacher I give to Miss Peck. Aside from
her intellectual guidance, her stress on character
building leaves an imprint on her students
that is life-long.

We love her for her ready sympathy, her keen
sense of humor, her brilliant mind and her
depth of spirituality.

We welcome this opportunity to voice our
appreciation and to wish for her all the good
things that life has to offer.

 

 

WE AND THEY

 

Once agan here we are starting
work on our paper with a clean
slate and a reputation to live up

-. As yet we have received only
three other schools papers to enjoy
and criticize, but if things continue
as they were last year we should
have many by the next U-Hi Lights
issue.

In case we have a few new read-
ers maybe I had better explain. the
purpose of this exchange column.
It is written so that we all may
know the why, what and wherefore
of the other schools of the United
States. We cannot visit all of them,
but it is interesting to read in their
papers, which are exchanged for
ours, what they are doing in the
way of sports and other activities,
and how they are obtaining their
goals of becoming better schools
through these activities.

And now a word to the other
tchools to express our enjoyment and
appreciation for the privilege of
exchanging papers with them.

Not only do we get enjoyment from
this practice but also an ambition
md goal to work toward. From
reading your papers we see in what
fields you are growing, what is go—
ing on in your student body, what
sort of football or basketball team
you have this year, and what im-
provements are being made on your
*hletic field or school building.

This is not all we gain from you,
but also by reading of your athletic

High Hopes

Have you students enjoyed our
new recreation room? Isn’t it
wonderful! And how about your
tennis game? Isn‘t it improving,
since .you practice daily on our
lovely new courts across the street?

Seriously, I know that many of
you have been wondering why we
haven’t had the promises of the
above mentioned improvements ful-
filled. So I interviwed Mr. Mitchell
and here are the facts. Our new
recreation room will be ready in
about two months, they hope! The
reason for the delay is this, as you
know there is a good bit of building
going on across Limestone on the
campus. Our recreation room was
supposed to be completed by this
fall, but some of the new buildings
over there just had to be made
ready for the summer school session
and it was imperative that others
open up their doors to gather in
the new large enrollment expected
this fall. So we had to Wait, as
our playroom seemed of lesser im-
portance. But I give you Mr. Mit-
chell’s word that we will have it
in a comparatively short time. He
said it was to be under the library
and very nice.

Now, about those tennis courts.
Doubtless you have seen trucks
arrive, workmen by the dozen pile
out with equipment galore and you
have thought to yourself, “Ah! at
last they’re going to complete the
tennis courts! Now I can improve
both my strokes and form in be—
tween classes at lunch time too! Oh!
happy day!" But alas! dear stu-
dent as you sat and watched out the
history and English room windows,
your dreams suddenly seemed to
crash around you with an awful
thud! The workmen had painted
the posts a lovely silver and were
departing, leaving the courts un-
finished!

Now the Physical Education De-
partment of the University of Ken-
tucky faithfully assures us that not
only will they rte-surface and black-
top the courts back of the build-
i'ng‘s, but (miracles do ,hapnen!)
across the street also.

Now children do not take my word
or Mr. Mitchell’s that these things
will come to pass, but if they do,
take care of them so as to preserve
them for future generations and be
gloriously happy and gleeful!

 

 

 

and scholastic achievements we
strive harder to live up to our own
records and top yours.

These reasons alone are enough
to justify the practice of exchanges,
but there still remains another. We
are given the opportunity of com-
paring our activities and ideas with
yours. No one can imagine the good
which has come from this compari-
son.

Again, I wish to say thanks for
each and everyone of your papers
and hope that you continue send-
ing them.

Also, I want to thank those
schools who continued sending ex-
changes during the summer months.
Although we do not issue a summer
paper it is a pleasure to receive
them from those of you who do.

I hope for your sake that I will
have some more papers before the
next issue so give me one more
chance before you quit reading my
column in despair.

Before we call it quits, you U-Hi
students, who are interested in read-
ing these papers of other schools
for yourselves can find them in

wire basket on the back table
in Miss Anderson’s room. They are
yours so help yourselves, only don't
tear or lose them please.

Horse Sen'se

 

A horseback riding class has at
last been organized. Every Wed-
nesday a large number of U-Hi
girls, under the direction of Mrs.

~Gilb and Mrs. Miller, gather at the

Chevy Chase Riding School for a
ride of about thirty—five minutes
duration.

Nearly everyone had a success
ful ride with the exception of Nancy
Ellen Taylor, who had a hard time
convicing the horse that she was the
calm and peaceful type (he finally
slowed down to a gallop). Caroline
Thomas looked just too cute for
words in a green and brown ridin
habit. (She‘s a good rider, too.)

The girls went in shifts of eight
Mrs. Gilb and Mrs. Miller taking
turns going with each group.

All high school girls are invited
to go, so sign up for it next week.

I‘ll tell you some more experiences
of U—Hians on horses (or perhaps
I should say off horses). Well, first
there’s the experience of Preston
Price, who was riding a horse at
the same time some men were dyna—
miting. You can probably guess
what happened. The horse got
scared and ran right out from un-
derneath Preston, leaving him just
setting there. Then there was
Marie Thompson, who broke the 1940
speed record for a one mile dash
on what was supposed to be a worn
out nag.

After all these experiences you
would think some of our students
could hardly get around, but outside
of a few minor ailments, like some
bumps and bruises, they are all do-
ing quite fine, thank you.

I’ll close with this poem which
expresses exactly some of the senti—
ments we have when mounting our
“gallant steadsz"

When you go to ride a horse

Be sure he’s plenty slow.

For the important thing is to

make him stop,

Not to make him go.

And now my dear children, as
all good (5’) things must end, I will
stop this rambling and let by gones
be bygones.

I MARRIED ADVENTURE
By Osa Leighty Johnson
(Mrs Martin Johnson)

This book, written by Osa John-
son, is a story of her adventure with
her husband, Martin Johnson. She
met Martin Johnson in Kansas when
she was only sixteen years old and
after a whirlwind courtship they
were married. After six months they
decided to go on a trip to the South
seas and photograph savage can—
nibal in their natural surroundings.
They sold their wedding presents
and their furniture to raise money
for the expedition. Then they went
on a barnstorming tour of the
United States and Canada with the
motion pictures Martin Johnson had
made before he met her. He told,

 

also, about his experiences on the
Snark with Jack London and Mrs.
Johnson sang.

Finally they reached the can-
nibals. Their first encounter began
as an amusing incident, but ended
in a flight for their lives. Neverthe-
less, it is typical of them that they
hung onto their camera and other
equipment and all came through
unharmed.

Sometime later they spent time
in Tanganyika, photographing lions.
Mrs. Johnson says they almost be-
came friends with them, too, as
they learned to recognize the dif-
ferent types and character. She
says, “We saw the leonine prototypes
of the entire human race: the clown,
the outcast, the arrogant, the tra-
gic, the noble, the dictator, yes, and
even the flirt."

Martin Johnson is no longer liv-
ing but his memory and that of
Mrs. Osa L. Johnson will remain in
their many pictures and in the
book. What the Johnsons were then,
they will always be.

CURRENT CINEMA

Opening tomorrow at the Ken-
tucky is “No Time For Comedy"
highlighting James Stewart and
Rosaland Russell, who both put out
a good show. This show has been
playing on Broadway and made a
“big hit" with these two characters
in the leading roles I can assure you
it will be a hit on the screen as
well as the stage

Now playing at the Ben Ali is a
double feature. Captain Caution
with Leo Carillo and Victor Mature.

 

Also Wayne Morris and Virginia

tertainment.

land, Micky Rooney along with I

_-.teman and his orchestra in
