HI-Y, RESERVES
BEGIN YEAR WITH
NEW SPONSORS

Where’s my big sister?” This will
probably be heard frequently
around the halls of U. Hi in the
next few weeks, as the Girl Reserves
get started with their fall program.

“Little sister” and “big sister” are
a part of the Girl Reserves’ pro-
gram as the school year gets under
way. The old members are taking
new girls under their wings—show-
ing them around, getting them out
of (and in!) jams, and being just
that—big sisters!

This year the constitution was
changed completely and committees
of the major points in their pro-
have been appointed to take charge
gram. It won’t be cut and dried,
for already the members have‘ plan-
ned a picnic next Thursday in hon-
or of the new girls.

Later a tea will be given and then
the G. R.’s and Hi Y will join in
giving parties and dances.

Pat Griffin is the president, Mar-
tha Linney will stand by her as
vice president, and Floye Mullin-
aux will hold the purse strings as
treasurer, and Carolyn McMeekin
will take care of the secretarial
duties. The girls welcome Mrs.
Roemer, who is the new sponsor.

The Hi Y program is being work-
ed out by the boys, who had their
first meeting Monday before last.
The officers are John Marlowe,
president; Jack Field, vice presi-
dent; Morris Beebe, secretary, and
Charles MoMeekin, treasurer.

At the first meeting, Mr. Ray-
mond Hill, executive secretary of
the Lexington YM.C.A., spoke to
the club on “Building Up Hi-Y and
Y.M.C.A.” A business meeting was
held and John Marlowe named a
project committee to work out pos-
sible activities for the Hi Y club.

Last Wednesday the officers of
the U-Hi, Cassidy, Farquhar, and
Clay clubs met at the Inter—Club
Council and although no definite
plans were made, the boys are ready
for a “bang—up” year.

 

THIS-N-THAT

By Dorcas Hollingsworth

 

Well, back to school. Pat and Bil-
ly, backbone of the scandal column
this year (inherited from Sonny
and Ewing last year) seem to be
hitting things off pretty well. It
seems as though two Juniors are,
too—ask a blonde.

Sorry as we are to have Dr. Wil-
liams go, we rejoice in the pleas-
ure he must have in his new posi-
tion and further extend a hearty
welcome to our new principal, Dr.
Hardfort, who has already endeared
himself to the University High
school.

The square dance was loads of
fun, and everyone was on the
square. From what I gather every-
one wants to have another one.
Let’s do, Intramural club! What
about a candy pull?

It’s mighty nice to come back and
see all your old friends but oh, what
a hole the seniors left behind them.
Personally, I can see some pretty
nice fellers around the new Senior
class. That reminds me, have you
noticed the new freshman class?
If you haven’t, you’re not smart
enough to read this column and if
you have you’ll see we’ve got some
mighty good material coming up.

UNIVERSITY HIGH
WELCOMES SIX
NEW TEACHERS

University High School has ac-
quired several new faculty members
during the latter part of last year,
the summer months, and this fall.
As in other things, the war has
played an important part in these
changes.

It goes without saying that the
former members of our faculty, Dr.
Williams, Mr. Keffer, Mr. Kura-
check, Mr. Betz, and Mr. Briggs,
have meant a lot to University Hi
and will not be forgotten. However,
University Hi is considered fortun-
ate to have secured the services of
the splendid new instructors in
their places.

Dr. Ellis Hartford, the new di-
rector, comes to us from the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority. He form-
erly taught social science at Manual
High School in Louisville. He has
taken the position vacated by Dr.
J. D. Williams here and teaches
American Government.

Mr. Alfred Reece is the new
physical education and gymnasium
instructor. He is well known in Lex-
ington and has been prominent in
athletic affairs for several years.
His position was formerly occupied
by Mr. Pete Kuracheck, who went
to the army in March, 1942. Mr.
Shwartz finished the year’s pro—
gram.

Mr. J. L. Kefier, former science
and mathematics teacher, left dur-
ing the summer. He is now a re-
search chemist for Old Gold cig-
arettes at Middletown, Ohio. Mrs.
Forest Mercer was called upon to
replace this loss. She formerly
taught at Lafayette and Morton
High Schools. Her subjects here
are plane and solid geometry, first
and second year algebra, and bi-
ology.

Miss Margaret Bell Humphries,
the new typing, shorthand, and ac-
counting instructor, previously
taught at Lexington Junior Hi, and
at Henry Clay. She replaces Mr.
Leslie Betz, who is now in the U. S.
Army.

Miss Genevieve Rhoemer has
formerly taught in the Russellville
High School, Russellville, Kentucky.
She replaces Mrs. Helen Randle as
home economics teacher at U-Hi.

Mrs. Raymond Miller teaches
dramatics, speech, and part of the
English program. She taught at
Georgetown College before taking
her position here, replacing Mr.
Wallace Briggs, who is now at Fort
Thomas, Kentucky.

Asbury Honored

Thomas Holey (Tommy) Asbury,
15, son of Mr. and M’rs. Charles A.
Asbury of the Briar Hill pike, a
junior student at University High
school, was designated as the Lex-
ington Optimist Club “Boy of the
Month.” He was given custody of
a silver trophy upon which his
name will be inscribed as an “hon-
or” boy and which he will surren-
der to his successor next month.

Presentation of the cup took place
at the club’s weekly meeting where
Frank L. Satterwhite, assistant
county agent in charge of 4-H club
activities, made the chief talk. In
making the presentation Mr. Sat-
terwhite lauded Asbury for his 4-H
club leadership, explaining he had
been in club work six years, had
completed 10 projects and had won
the 4-H state Jersey championship.

DR. ELLIS HARTFORD

 

NEW STUDENTS
EXPAND U—HIGH

When University High opened
this year, twenty-seven new stu-
dents, in addition to the new sev—
enth grade, were admitted to take
the places of those who left by

graduation, or to go to other schools.
In spite of the rubber shortage and
the prospect of gas rationing, U-Hi
students have “found a way” for
transportation, and the enrollment
continues about the same.

The Senior class is proud to add
the names of Mary Adams from
Midway, Frank Leach from Lafay-
ette, Lalla R. Kirk, and Mattie
Louise Miracle from Pineville.

To the Junior class room U—Hi is
happy to add the names of : Glenna
Ritchie from Sayre College, Dianne
LeStourgeon from Henry Clay,
Nancy Skeen from Paducah, and
Greenberry Marshall, who returned
to U-Hi after an absence of one
year at St. Joseph's School for Boys
at Bardstown. Welcome back, G'. B.
We missed you last year.

Three students from Morton have
joined the Sophomore class: Shirley
Younger, Mary Jane Agnew, and
Richard Wallace and two from La-
fayette, Loyall Prewitt, and a form—
er student, Charles Wachtman.
Glad to have you back, Charles!

The Freshman class boasts the
largest number of new members.
We are grateful to Hamilton Prep-
aratory for a large number of
these: Charlotte Garr, Mary Agnes
Amick, Patricia Thompson, Jane
Clemmons and Louise VanMeter.
Joyce Barker comes from the Hill
School in Middlesburg, Virginia.
James Barker was a student at
Stuyvesent School in Warrenton,
Virginia; Don Sturgill comes from
Morton, and Phil Cuny from Wash-
ington, D. C.

Judith Forman from Sayre, Don
Bowmar from Versailles, and Jack
Barker, also from Stuyvesant
School at Warrenton, Virginia, have
joined the eighth grade. We might
mention here that Don Bowmar’s
father was one of the members of
the first graduating class in 1920 of
the old Model High School, as U-Hi
was then called.

To the seventh grade have come
Betty Simpson from Briar Hill
School, and Edwin Cortland from
St. Catherine’s. Other members of
the 7th grade entered from the Un-

 

 

iversity elementary school.

Dr. Ellis Hartford Becomes
q Head Of University School

 

Class Leaders
Chosen For Year

Election of class officers have
been held during the past week
from the seventh through the
twelfth grades, excepting the eighth
grade, which has not elected offi-
cers as yet.

John Marlowe will lead the Sen—
iors in the highly coveted position
of president. His associates will be
Mary Jane Guines as vice presi-
dent; Roger Miller, secretary; Sal-
ly Van Meter, treasurer. This elec-
tion took place Monday, September
the twenty-first.

Lafon Ingles came out on top in
the election for president in the
Junior class which also took place
Monday, the twenty-first. Morris
Beebe is the new vice president.
Flaye Mullinaux was elected secre-
tary-treasurer, a position which she
very creditably held last year.

The Sophomore class elected Bet-
ty Jo Harris to be the new presi-
dent. Dot Tharp was chosen vice
president; Peggy Berryman as sec-
retary, and Mary Jane Agnew, a
new student, was elected as treas-
urer.

Phil Cuny, also a new student,

Has Held Positions In
Kentucky Schools
And T.V.A.

With the opening of school this
September, Dr. Ellis Hartford as-
sumed the position of Director of
the University School, taking the
place left vacant by the resignation
of Dr. J. D. Williams. Dr. Hartford
is the third director which the
school has had since the present
building was occupied in 1930. Dr.
Sherman G. Crayton was head of
the school from 1930-1933 and Dr.
Williams from 1933 to 1942.

Dr. Hartford comes to Lexington
from Tennessee where he was our-
riculum consultant for the Tennes-
see Valley Authority. He earlier
served as principal and superinten—
dent of the Williamstown Schools,
going from there to du Pont Man-
ual Training School, where he was
head of the department of social
studies. He resigned the Louisville
post to take the TVA appointment.

Dr. Hartford is a native of Fords-
ville, Kentucky. He received his
education at the University, having
been granted both his B. A. degree
in 1930 and his M. A. degree four
years later from that institution.

 

ranks as president in the Freshman
class. Barbara Fisher was elected
the new vice president and Lida
Ingels is the secretary-treasurer.

 

The seventh grade election seems
to be a great success. Gardner
Turner was chosen president; Andy
DeisS, vice president; Nancy James,
secretary, and Juliet Shouse, treas-
urer.

The election of Student Govern-
ment representatives and members
of the social committee is to be held
as soon as the faculty and Dr.
Hartford decide upon the rules.

A special period has not been set
aside for home rooms. They will be
called when the sponsor and the
officers decide there is a problem or
question of importance.

U-Hi Makes Plans
For War Work

The desire to help in the war ef-
fort is being felt throughout the
school.

Junior and senior boys are taking
a course in Pre—fiight Aeronautics.
More emphasis is being put on
geography and students are work-
ing harder on mathematics because
they now realize how important
this subject is. Many more students
in order to get government jobs
are taking typing and shorthand,
during the next summer.

The suggestion that the collec-
tion of scrap, both metal and rub-
ber, be turned over to one class is
now being considered.

The seventh grade has taken
charge of the sale of War bonds
and stamps, and the eighth grade
plans to take over the Junior Red
Cross.

The Elementary School has not
started its war work yet, but it plans
to cooperate with the war effort in
every way possible.

The sixth grade is having a course
in conservation, and how this may
win the war. They are saving rub-
ber and tinfoil.

Many students are riding city and
county buses to school in order to
save the tires on the family car.
Much of University High‘s war
work is in the planning stage as

 

yet, due to the fact that the school

During the past year he took leave
of absence from TVA to complete
the work on his doctorate at Har-
vard University.

Dr. Hartford was married in 1939
to Miss Alma Barker. They now
have a three—month-old daughter.
Mrs. Hartford and their daughter,
who have been visiting Mrs. Hart-
ford‘s mother in Indiana, have re-
cently joined Dr. Hartford in Lex-
ington. They have taken a house
at 228 Woodspoint Road.

Dr. Hartford has many interests.
While at Manual, he was a mem—
ber of the coaching staff of the
football and basketball teams. He
is very much interested in collect-
ing relics. His special interest is in
articles concerning the history of
the South such as Confederate
flags and uniforms.

Both the students and faculty of
University School have expressed
themselves as more than pleased
with the beginning of school under
Dr. Hartford’s direction.

Seventh Grade
Buys Bond

U-Hi seems to have got off to a
good year of doing its bit. We are
especially proud of the seventh
grade’s patriotism. Already this
year they have bought a twenty-
five dollar Defense Bond with their
hard-earned money.

Last year when they were in the
sixth grade they presented a South-
American fiesta and sold articles
they had made themselves. They
also worked hard on the Skywriter.
These activities gave them enough
money for their first bond. Miss
Belser, their teacher, stated that
they have planned to sell defense
stamps throughout school for the
rest of the year.

U-Hi Lights Has
New Sponsor

The U—Hi Lights is now in charge
of Miss Grace Anderson, since Mr.

 

year has just started.

Briggs has joined the Army.

We Realize

For the first time in history, University High
students are faced with war, total war. Not a
pretty prospect, but one we must face as a free
people, standing united. \Vith war comes cer—
tain responsibilities. Not. simple thoughts to be
shaken off, but responsibilities to be met head
on, accepted, and carried through.

()ne of the first is the duty to learn to think
clearly. Millions upon millions are being spent
by Axis propagandists in the attempt to shroud
our minds in confusion, distrust, and uncer—
tainty. Clear thinking and only clear thinking
can be successful in fighting off this menace.

The buying of war bonds and stamps is not
only an obligation to our country, but also to
ourselves.
spent; in this case money means millions of
dollars every day. After the war is won, the
people need savings, or reserves, to keep them on
their feet during the period of readjustment. In-
ternal collapse can be more disastrous than de—
feat in actual combat. To satisfy these require-
ments war bonds seem to be the perfect answer.
This paper firmly believes that U-High is fully
aware of this fact as many are and have been
buying regularly.

To win any war, money must be

The greatest responsibility to an American
student is probably the least obvious or recog-
nized, the taking advantage of our opportunity
to learn. It sounds strange to some, but think
it over! How many young people have a chance
for high school, college, or post-graduate train-
ing? In England, the nearest to ourselves in
democratic standing, a boy considers himself
truly fortunate to complete a high school edu§

 

cation. Only the highest class of person rates a
college degree; none have the opportunity to

work their own way through school. To a Ger~ ‘

man or Italian, who takes. without choice. what
is given him, this is unbelievable democratic“
propaganda. A democracy is only as good as its
people. This is why we must learn. ()1in by this
may we hope to meet and survive any military,
social, or economical chaos which may face us
now or in the future.

A Lot For Your Money

.\ member of the faculty expressed surprise
the other day on being told that we students
discuss the war seriously in ottr private conver-
sations. That is not to be wondered at, because
we certainly give the impression of being flighty
and frivolous, but there are some things that we
must be serious about.

\\'e realize that. the United Nations can lose
this war and most of us are trying to help pre-
vent that in any way that is in our power. Sev—
eral of us have given members of our family to
the armed forces, (including the \\'.-\AC) but
most of us must be satisfied with little things
such as buying and selling \\'ar Stamps and
Bonds, knitting and sewing for the Red Cross,
and conserving everything possible.

\Ve may not go to church very often. but we
defy anyone to take away our privilege of doing
\Ve turn to a program of (lance music when
a news broadcast comes on, but who is going
to take from us the right to listen to an accu-
rate account of how our side is faring} \Ve read
the funnies before we read the editor’s criticisms
of the administration, but just let anyone try
to tell us that he can't criticize!

50.

Here is an example of serious thinking on the
part of our youth. Having heard all the “Buy
a share of freedom” phrases, the seventh grade
recently purchased a $25 War Bond. They de-
cided that the money they had made on the
Skywriter, the sixth grade newspaper, and on
the Fiesta they gave last year could help the
government as well as themselves. They were
the first class in Fayette county to invest in a
bond. Now they are completing plans to sell
stamps. They have fixed a tentative monthly
quota for the entire school. This quota will be
reached if each student buys one ten-cent stamp
a week and each member of the faculty buys
$2 worth a month. Let’s all, students and fac»
ulty alike, cooperate with the seventh grade in
the fine task they’ve undertaken.

 

What Education Costs

Most students think that when they pay $70
tuition a year to go to the University school they
support the school and all of the teachers. Ac-
tually this is a very small part of the total cost
of our education. Because of the school’s con-
nection with the University of Kentucky the
state pays a large part of our tuition.

It costs the school approximately $189 a year
to educate one student. This figure is exclusive
of the cost and the upkeep of the building. In
other words the state pays two—thirds of our
tuition.

In the elementary school it costs $108 per stu«
dent a year also exclusive of the cost and up-
keep of the building. The student pays 35%
while the state pays 65% of the cost.

If those of us who seem to think that our 370
will run the school and leave a profit, ever had
to pay the full cost of our education, even for
just one year, we would appreciate the wonder-
ful opportunity we have by going to this school
at such a low cost.

ANN COWGILL

Miss Ann Cowgill, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Cowgill, 344
Kingsway Drive, and a graduate of
University High School has been
awarded a scholarship to the Amer-
ican Conservatory of Music. She
left for Chicago last week.

At the University of Kentucky
last year she was a member of the
Glee Club, the Choristers, the Alpha
Gamma Delta social sorority, and a
pledge to the Phi Beta honorary
music sorority.

Miss Cowgill studied voice under
the direction of Mrs. John Burgin
and Mr. Robert Ogle and was a
soloist at the First Presbyterian
Church.

University High wishes her the
best of luck.

The summer has been full of
parties and fun too numerous to be;
discussed in this column. so the
writer has included only those
social affairs which have occurred
since school started.

Frances Horlacher visited Fort
Des Moines, Iowa, to see her sister
Helen graduate from the WAAC’s.
Helen, a U-High graduate, received
her commission as a third officer,
which is equal to a second lieutenant
in the Army, on September the
nineteenth. Frankie said the grad—
uation exercise was the most inter-
esting and impretsive thing she’s

ever seen. The Horlachers left Lex-
ington on the seventeenth of Sep-
tember, and got home the twenty-
second.

Saturday the nineteenth, at one
o’clock, Eva Lewis entertained at
luncheon in the Red Room of the
Lafayette Hotel. Her guests were

and Carolyn McMeekin. The lunch-
eon was delicious, and everyone had
a grand time.

Lucy Gay entertained with a
swimming party and supper Satur—
day night. The guests from U-High
were Vella Wise, Missy Van Meter,
Peggy Berryman, Louise Van Meter,
Greenberry Marshall, Tommy Un—
derwood, Charles McMeekin, Solly
Van Meter, Baylor Van Meter, and
Fonny Ingels.

By the way, did you notice how
many people spent their last few
days before leaving for school at
U-High? Lucy Gay, Pat Headley,
Willie Jones—to mention a few.
And there are always several of last
year’s grads around, for instance
Frances Daniel, Gracie Willmott,
Jesse Adams, and Bill Chambers.

Saturday the twenty-sixth, from
nine until twelve-thirty o’clock,
Jimmy Glenn gave a dance at the
Lexington Country Club. Just be—
fore the dance, Bobby Brewer had
a small dinner-party.

The Girl Reserves are planning
two entertainments for their new
members, and the new sponsor,
Miss Rhoemer. The first will be a
tea in the school library, on October
the first. Then, on October eighth,
there will be a picnic at Needmore
Farm, which belongs to Grace Will-
mott's uncle, Mr. Felix Kennedy.
The old Girl Reserves want the
new girls to know how welcome they
are, and hope that every new mem-
ber will be at both the tea and the
picnic.

 

Fun and Frolic

Now We are convinced that even
though many things have changed
around school we can still keep our
“good party” reputation. For the
information of those “unfortunates”
we really had a. big time. Everyone
let their hair down and really “let
go.” Harry, Billie C., Hall and Fonnie
did the marketing. They got more
food for that 30 cents than was
right. We began with weinies and
buns, with plenty of mustard. When
John would come up for air in the
little room he passed out Double-
Colas. Next came cookies and ap-
ples. All was fine and peaceful
until Solly and Larry H. couldn’t
find any place to put their apple
cores so they threw them at ran-
dom, and my name isn’t mud!
Every one was pretty well filled by
this time but the boys in the back
room still hadn‘t given out of food.
They just “begged” us to accept
Dixie Cups and Lollypops. Person-
ally I think Harry’s sweet tooth got
the best of him when they were
buying the groceries.

After every one ate as much food
as they could hold, We retired to the
gym, where there was a row of
chairs from one end of the gym to
the other waiting for us. Solly,
Larry, and Mr. Reese then got us
organized. We got all our directions
then we began playing musical
chairs. It caused so much excite-

 

ment that everyone was almost fin-
ished for the rest of the night. They
finally got down to the last two
chairs. Who got them?? Of course,

the invincible Hollys! When they
work together it is almost impossible
to beat them.

Next we played a game we’ve
been playing since our elementary
days, only we had a lot more spirit
Friday night than we had in “them
days." We were all in a big circle
and we passed three balls around.
The person caught with a ball when
the music stopped was out. Dookie
Kirk, a new senior won that contest
of nerves. A riot almost began
every time the music stopped.

The committee took time out at
this point to slip into their private
room and get the pause that re-
freshes. You really had a hard time
wading through all the water and
barriers. There were distinct re-
mains of Billy‘s luck in catching
the cokes Harry threw at him. His
luck failed him every now and then,
and that’s the story of the gym
floor.

Then the dancing was begun.
Jane manned the “Vic” while we
did the Virginia Reel in our own
odd fashion. For those who stood
through that, there was the grand
march. Mrs. Gilb and Mr. Reece
led us, and boy, did we get twisted
in there at one time?

 

THE U-HI LIGHTS

N 0)

By *P!%z— and MR. X

Well, here we are again looking
for any dirt that just happens to
be lying around. And from the looks
of things I think that things are
looking up in the scandal world, at
least I hope they are or What will
I have to write about. It looks like
we have good material coming up
in the seventh and eighth grades
and the seniors and juniors are by
no means going to let this old col—
umn down.

Well, the first thing in this col-
umn should be pretty good as this
starts the scandal for the year.
Since the senior class should have
preference over all things they
might as well have it in this column
too. It’s fine to see that Pat and
Billy have weathered out the sum-
mer together and it looks like they’ll
be together for a long time to come
from where the writer is sitting.

It also looks as if Ann is still the
first girl in Mr. Johnnie Penne-
baker’s heart, and also it seems
there are other men in her life.
Namely a Mr. Jesse Adams who
graduated from this school last year.

But Miss Marion McCaw had Mr.
Adams Saturday nite. Miss Congle-
ton had better watch out or Miss
McCaw will have him on her list
in no time at all.

It looks like Solly has lost the
interest he had in a certain Miss
Lyde Gooding. They tell me he
doesn't date her very much any
more, but he still has a soft spot
in his heart for her. We hope so
because she is a swell girl.

Does anyone know about Charles
McMeekin and Pat Haley? The
writer hadn’t heard from this pair
in quite some time and just won-
dered if they were still that way
about each other. We know that
Charles still is and we haven’t been
able to get Miss Haley to talk. If
anyone has any direct information
on this the
