Having twisted the arms of the
various editors of the U-Hi Lights
I find that at last I am allowed to
write an article for the front page
which all goes to prove the old exi-
prcssion: “If at first you don‘t
fricassee, fry, fry, fry a hen.”

Time magazine has its poll for
the Man of the Year; Life magazine
prints in each issue the Picture of
the Week. Let the U-Hi Lights be
the first to institute the combination
of the two: “Picture of the Weak
or the Queer of the Year." Picture,

To say that an enemy existed
would be a rash statement inddeed,
~but there must be at least some
feeling of animosity between Robin
and Louise, the former closing the
locker door on the latter every morn-

hours.

A current baffler in the Purple
halls is the “Mystery of the Mys-

terious Message.” I n n u m e r a b l e .

members of the student body have
recently received notes from an un-

I got in the midst of Latin last week.
just when we were getting to the
exciting place where Hercules cap-
tures the three-headed dog. This
communication of doubtful origin
read as follows: “You are requested

Recreation Room

To Be Completed

A few years ago a fund in mem-
ory of Mr. John S. Mitchell, former
assistant principal at University
High School, was created. It was
decided to use this fund as a starter
to finance a recreation room under-
neath the school.

Work was soon begun, but the
war intervened and it was impos-
lsible to get materials such as con-
:,crete and steel supports. Now that
lthese materials have been released,
iwork has been resumed and it will
lbe ready for use next spring.

Miss Meitha Hiteman is the new
music instructor at U-Hi. For a year
and a half she has been a Red Cross
:hospital recreation worker, station-
,ed at San Antonia Air Cadet Cen-
gter and at Camp Crowder, Mo.

As a Red Cross worker, Miss Hite-
man arranged games, played piano,
sang, and helped organize talent
shows. One of the men she worked
with had been a soloist with Paul
Whiteman and another had been
with Orrin Tucker‘s band. Another
interesting fact she found was that
most of the men seem to like to
sing songs like “Harvest Moon" and
“Let Me Call You Sweetheart.”

She is from Forrestown, Illinois.
She received her bachelor’s degree
from Cornell University, and her
master's degree from Northwestern
University. She has not only

 

 

majored in music but in English as
twell.
She has been elementary teacher,
.and high school superintendent at}
lWest Allis, Milwaukee; piano and}
music education instructor at the‘
University of Idaho, and teacher at
St. Cloud in Minnesota.

Miss Hiteman is well pleased with l
the chorus. Her plans include a i

be given in connection with Mrs.

continued for those who are interest
ed in it, but sextet and trio work
will be emphasized along with the
regular choral work. There will be
after—school classes for those who
are working for a whole credit in
music.

Besides the high school chorus,
Miss Hiteman also has the elemen-
tary, the seventh, and the eighth
grades.

Believe it or not, she prefers teach-
ing to the Red Cross work, which
she found interesting.

Miss Hiteman is not interested in
music alone, for she finds knitting
and bridge interesting. She, of course,
has a collection of music and records.

music, but enjoys the “hits of the
day.” She says she soon tires of
them, for after studying music for
any time you can’t help learning to
appreciate and enjoy really good
music. All in all U—Hians have ac-
quired a grand and well-liked music

: the world. “Without them we would

have never defeated Germany. We
iowe them a great debt.”

“The Germans are a beaten peo-
ple. 250,000 Germans will die this
winter due to starvation.” He be-
lieves that having won the war we
could very easily lose the peace. To
guard against this we must have
compulsory military training .The
atomic bomb and improvements in
the airplane show us that we can’t
be isolationists. “The atomic bomb
.has changed the whole concept of
‘ warfare. We must maintain defenses
vat home and abroad.”

At the close of the speech, ques-
tions from the audience were an-
swered by Mr. Bi cknell.

 

} Dance Will Be
lTomorrow Night

The University Hi-Y club has
[chosen November 16 as the date on
which to present one of its major
social events of the year, a dance
to be held in the school gym from
nine to twelve. Since it is the
school’s property on which the dance
is to be held, the school’s policy
of admission and ejection is to be
followed throughout the affair. The
Hi-Y club wishes to thank Mr.
Ginger for his assistance and co-
operation in planning this dance.

The decorative theme is to be in
the school colors of purple and
white. As for the music, which is
of course the main feature of any
dance, the famed Kentucky Knights
under the able direction of Newell
Hadden will take charge of the field
as a result of Fred Luigart’s efforts
as chairman of the music committee.
Refreshments will consist of that
American favorite, Coca-Cola and
cookies.

Billy “Chester” Boggs, in charge
of bids, reports that nearly three
hundred bids have been sent out.

After much discussion it has been
decided that since this dance is to
be invitational instead of a pay
dance as formerly planned, it should

be in a formal mode.

Compulsory Military Training?

The prospects for the future which present themselves to the
seventeen-year-olds of today are anything but definite. To Say
that we can count on a stable world such as the one we knew

are confronted with new and more discouraging forecasts of
the future. The current rosy picture which is being painted for

‘ us is that if we are not generous enough to share the great atomic

secret. it will be only a matter of a few years before a fifth of the
population of the United States may be blown off the face of the
earth within the space of an hour. The solution to this problem
we are told, lies in creating a feeling of fellowship and trust with
our sister nations, to be done by showing them that we have

enough faith in them to share our atomic bomb. \\'c are told balk

this is the way to world peace and unit). If this is the case, why
do we llcsilalc?

In the {ace of all this flowery talk, muny talk of “protecting
ourselves" with a large standing army and compulsory military
training. The President. has gone on record in a speech to the

Congress favoring universal military service. We, the young 111%“:

of “almost eighteen,” do not question the advice of the men who

; load the nation. \Vc only ask: “Is this ‘cducation for war’ neces-

sary or wise if our ultimate goal is peace and unity? Are we not
antagonizing mistrust by training all of our young men to be
experts in the line art of international murder?”

Further, we would like to ask if the leaders of the country do
not feel that a man skilled in a profession is not as important as
a man skilled as a professional killer? This is not isolationist talk;
it is plain logic. There is no argument against the statement that
a great scientist or engineer or doctor is a credit to his country,

‘ as well as to the rest of the world. Can the world not well afford
‘ to spend the money it spends on degenerate barbarism on pro-

moting 21 higher degree of civilization? The boy who graduates

help their country in better ways than shouldering a gun?

We; the young people of today, are quite satisfic'd With oiTr‘

way of living. To us, it means basketball games, souped—up jalop—

ies, and the latest Crosby record, but it also means something else.

; It means that we are lucky enough not to have to worry about
‘ our security tomorrow; we are pretty sure of it. We like it that

way, and we wouldn’t want it changed, now or any time. That is
why we are concerned; we want to know that the people who de-
cidc our future are doing the best thing for us and for everybody.

Recreation Room

Recently the construction of the long-proposed recreation
room was resumed. The project has elicited the approval 0[ the
student body for many years and now, with the war over, we can
see the completion of the room in sight. However, the construc-
tion of the room requires more than just our verbal support; it
will take more mOney than that alloted it in the Mitchell Fund,
provided for the project. It is with this in mind that the various
school organizations have been asked to suggest means by which
the fund may be incrcnscd and the room completed. Let's all
get behind it and see that it is finished up this school year.

FROMiTHE
FISHER BOWL

It was Labor Day-—-the day of the
Plug Horse Derby. Down in the
stables, in blue jeans that were too
big for me, I stood, weak in the
knees and shaking, waiting for my
mount?? A little jockey handed me
his lurid green satin jacket and cap.
I put the dirty things on with a
feeling of horror. A huge, clumsy,
thick-necked animal was led up to
me. I climbed into a worn out sad-
dle that was much too small for
the brute. The other girls and
women had trotted merrily onto the
track before I was ready and were
parading up and down when I was
led onto the track in fear and
trembling.

There was a great roar from the
vast crowd as my horse went lurch-
ing down the track. My cap fell
over my eyes and one plait came
loose and went streaming out be-
hind me. The stirrups were short
like a jockey’s, and the reins were
so high on the horse’s neck that I
had no control or balance. I went
bouncing around with my long legs
stuck straight out in front of me.
At the finish line there was great
confusion and I wondered how I’d
ever gotten into such a mess.
