TEACHERS ADDED BETZ TELLS ALL

ABOUT CHICAGO

Have you ever wanted to visit
a strange country in the world,
while staying in one place? Mr.
Betz, instructor of commercial sub—
jects and algebra at the University
High school, had that experience
l this summer while studying for his
l doctor’s degree at the University of
Chicago.

Mr. Betz stayed at the Univer—
sity of Chicago’s International

in Paducah. Mrs. Randle is teaching: House where he met sudents from

here while her husband studies for
his PhD. degree at the University.
She comes directly from three years
of instructing at Texas College of
Arts and Industries. Before that she
taught in a Texas high school for
four years. She has had experience
in teaching child psychology and in
nursery work at the University of
Texas, of which she is an alumnae.
In addition to her home economics
work, Mrs, Randle has consented to
be Girl Reserve sponsor this year.

purpose of furthering international
good will. There are three Inter—
national Houses, one at Columbia

of California in Los Ang‘eles. Foreign
students, together with selected
American students, stay at the house

“Chinese and Japanese female
students together with a few South
American girls, were the only ones
to wear their native costumes, while
the rest of the students wear regular
American clothes, “said Mr. Betz.

“When I wasn’t studying or en—

OFFICERS INTRODUCED
AT CONVO EXERCISES

So far University High has had
only two convocation programs. The
first was planned to introduce the
new teachers and get acquainted
with our leaders of activities and
clubs. Dr. Williams spoke to us
and we sang several of our school
songs.

The second one was held two weeks
later and the class officers were in—
stalled. The President of each class
was on stage as also were Mr. Bart
N. Peak, Dean Henry H. Hill and
Dr. Williams. Mr. Peak led the
prayer and Dr. Williams introduced
Dean Hill. Dean Hill gave a most
enjoyable address and then Mr.
Peak gave the benediction which
closed our second convocaion.

Mount Etna, beside the sea in
Sicily, was believed by the ancients
to be the chimney to the god of
fire, and it was from Vulcan that
word “volcano” was coined.

NUMBER 1

Student Oflicers Elected

 

Radio, Dramatics
Headed By Briggs

r. Briggs, our new dramatics

teacher, has some excellent new
ideas which he will combine with
carrying on Mrs. Millers program of
teaching.

There are thirty—two pupils in the
dramatics class, and Mr. Briggs,
hopes to produce two plays before
Christmas. One will be a modern
comedy and the other and experi-
mental play. Production of the first
play will start in about three or four
weeks. The second one will be pro—
duced just before Christmas.

In planning his class work Mr.
Briggs is trying to follow, Mrs. Mil—
lers pattern as closely as possible.
He has planned two textbook units
one on the Evolution of Plays, in
which the class will carefully study
a number of modern plays and then
evaluate them. A very interesting
unit on make-up and c0stuming
will be studied later.

Of course the senior play, the
most important undertaking of the
dramatics class, will be produced in
the early spring.

One of Mr. Briggs‘ biggest ideas

ery. This will avoid building the
set in the back halls as has been

Sta ,” by mailman. They a e
a patriotic group of plays which
deal with the history of various
states and how they came into the
union. Each one dramatizes some
historical event or the life of a per—
son associated with the state which
is being honored. Definite date has
not been decided but Tuesday at
4:00 is the tentative date.

OUTING CLUB
ELECTS HEAD

A special meeting of the Outing
Club of the University High School
was called in the auditorium by Mr.
Kurachek on the afternoon of Sep-
tember 23. Mr. Kurachek said that
the meeting had been called to de-
termine how many of the students
in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth
grades were interested in having an
Outing Club this year. Officers for
the coming year were elected.

He further said that he had not
seen much interest in the club this
year as only three people had asked
him about it. But since there was
a. good attendance at the meeting,
it was decided to continue the club.

The members decided that the
first meeting would be at Hollings—
worth’s, on the Newtown Pike, Oc—
tober 2.

Election of the new officers was
then held, with Bill Reed presiding
as nominating chairman.

The following officers were elect-
ed: president, Bob O’Brian; vice
president, Ewing Brown; treasurer,
John Marlowe; and secretary; Pat
Griffin.

Mr. Kurachek and other members
of the faculty will again serve as
chaperones.

All in all, the Outing Club expects
a big year under the leadership of
Bob O’Brien and the supervision of
Mr. Kurachek.

WELCOME NEW STUDENTS

Welcome, new students, to University High!

This big welcome includes the seventh grade
as well as the students who have come from other

schools to join us. U—Hi looks forward each

year to the coming of a new grade full of inter-
esting and talented personalities.

On the day school opened several groups of old
classmates were gathered together, filling out
schedule cards and exchanging tid-bits of gossip.
In the same room, all alone, sat a new student.
The new student attempted several times to
converse with members of this gay crowd, and
each time the response he received was a meek
smile. He was then left to go about his own
business. I thought about this incident later,
and it seems to me that we might have gone a
little farther towards becoming acquainted with
a classmate-to-be.

Last year we had a new student who stayed
with us one semester and then returned to the
school he had previously attended. I asked him
why, and his answer was direct:

“U—Hi isn’t friendly.”

Think about that for a moment, students, and
see if it isn’t true. How many of you have made
it a point to talk to a new student every time
you get a chance?

“U-Hi is the finest school in town.”

That is a statement of opinion. It may be the
opinion of a great many people.

“The students at U-Hi are snooty.” That
may be the opinion of a few.

“U-Hi is the finest school in town, and its stu-
dents are friendly," is the opinion we want to
establish.

 

 

highly professional staff of supervising teachers
who understand youth and who know the prob-
lems of beginning teachers.

The enrollment is limited to 380 pupils, rang-
ing from four»year»olds in the first: year of the
kindergarten to the eighteen—year-olds complet—
ing high school. The school is housed in the
College of Education building. The University
has complete control of it. The staff includes
thirty persons thoroughly prepared in such
fields as physical education, nutrition. health.
ental hygiene, curriculum. art, music and the
other areas usually found in good schools. Mem-

bers of the staff received over 200 calls from the‘

field for various consultant services last
They answer every time they can. This service
has grown so rapidly during the past few years
that some requests must be delayed.

The purposes of the University School have
been summarized as follows:

yCill‘.

1. To provide an environment that contrib-
utes to the growth of children toward their
utmost capacity for doing the highest good.
The development of this environment is
directed cooperatively by teachers, children.
parents, society and the state.

2. To provide a laboratory in which students

IlIt:

operativcly study the growth and develop-

ment of children.

Iii ttiutmion. Including l.t(lll[\.

3. To provide a testing ground for the theories
of learning and teaching that appear to
have possibilities for other Kentucky
schools.

4. To provide an opportunity for students
preparing to teach to have a successful ini-
tial experience in working with children.
This experience is carefully planned and
executed with the cooperation of a broadly
educated and highly professional staff.

5. To develop, collect, and try out materials
that may be of assistance to teachers in
service.

6.To provide a good school in which those in»
terested in education may observe and
discuss ‘at they observe with exceptionally
well prepared and experienced teachers.

You are a part of a great enterprise. Whether

you are a pupil, a teacher, a parent, or are con-

nected with the University School in some other
capacity, your helpful cooperation means bet-
ter teachers for Kentucky’s schools, as well as
the best education for the pupils enrolled. “7e
are all learners. Pupils learn many facts, in-
crease their knowledge, develop interests, atti-
tudes and ideals, and learn how to get along
happily with other people. Teachers learn what
experiences seem most helpful to young people
in accomplishing their highest purposes. Par—
ents learn about their children along with the
teachers. Students of education acquire some of
the art of becoming masterful teachers. “7e shall
be doing our best when we are doing our most
to accomplish the purposes of our school together.
You are an important factor in the success of
this challenging enterprise. We are depending
on you.

A DREAM OF WAR TORN EUROPE

A curly black haired little boy

Stands wondering at the scene he
sees.

And then they come as they always
do

And my little friend is no more.

A mother and her child sit here,

A scene of tenderness. But they

Stil lcome with death and pain.

The cries of the child are called in
vain.

A widow, with her son at war
Hears the drone of them in the air.
She thinks of her husband who
went before
And she knows she, too, will be no
more.

A God on high, can Thou not hear
us?

Hear Thou our prayers of suffering
and pain?

Why dost Thou let them come
upon us,

Killing our dear and loved ones?

—JEANNE BUREAU

New Daze

I wonder if the students of Uni-
versity High ever stop to think what
their new class mates‘ reaction are
to the school? How small the classes
are compared to other schools in the
state? And have you ever noticed
how large a majority of girls there
are?

The first day the newcomer is
greatly confused by the various
halls, running in different direc—
tions. He tries to locate the cafe-
teria at noon by following someone
who he supposes is headed for
lunch; result, —he goes hungry!
The second day he is impressed by
the beauty of the school and the
beauties in it.

 

 

 

One, Two, Three, Kick

1 Dear Boys and Girls:

You’ve heard of Njinsky, Madam
Pavlow, Fred Astaire. and Madam
La Zonga, well now here I am—and
I’m going to remain unknown (for
personal reasons not to be publish—
ed!)

Now that I've got you here, I
might as well inform you that we
are learning to do the conga today.
If you fail to keep in spirit with the
classes, I suggest you start- taking
something; little liver pills—or vi-
tamin B1, in one form or another.
New people, first you have to get
into the spirit of things. It comes
to some naturally, while others
might have to put crickets in their
girldes—to get that required jerk on
the fourth count.

Start with your feet together—
both of them on the floor, etc,—
now on count one (this is beginning
to get involved) step out with a
rhythmic step on your right. (From
here on, it isn't like anything you’ve
ever seen before.) Now if you have
good balance you can easily do
count “two.” Your left foot is placed
on your poor lonesome right foot.
You will probably soon tire of the
position, so the next thing you do
is to move your right foot over a
step to the right. Now for the cli—
max. You are now ready to kick
with your left foot. But first you
must lean away over to the right—
and then kick as hard as you can
with your foot. If your leg isn’t out
of joint now, it soon will be.

Young man—yes, you— you have
entirely the wrong idea! You are
not supposed to kick your partner!
Try to, avoid that. You are really
just supposed to kick at thin air—-
or it that’s too hard on your eyes,
place an imaginary joint there first.

By this time you are either asleep
or all out of joint!

So until next time, remember,

Keep kicking!

about thirteen boys who are mem-
bers of a cooking class. One of the
boys exclaimed while being inter-
viewed, “Our favorite dish is beans.“

Teacher: Who said that?

Joe: I don’t know. Some under-
taker I guess.

In exclamations, what things; how
much to strike with a smart re-
sounding blow. A circular prom or
disk designed to turn on a tall
slender cultivated grass with the
depth of thought, knowledge, feel-
ing or the like. Reckless with money
lavish and wasteful resembling a.
Scotch statesman. who repairs tele—
phones or an official who records“
distance gained or lost in each play.
In reality one who decides whether
the ball lands inside or outside the
boundary line. A division of the an-
cient Roman army headed by Ben-
jamin, the youngest son of Jacob
also the tribe half civilized living
across the Danube, who were de—
termined to capture a calvaryman
or a mounted soldier, fishing for a
rare deep sea fish. This fish an an—
cient ancestor of the dromhinge-
janus or jay-walker which is a
dangerous to do in cities these
days. Many persons have been fined
for this and millions of lempire have
been paid out in fines.

“What," a small word in the
dictionary is dirived from the La-
tin word “whatose” which could
easily be mistaken for water if
you need glasses. The convex lenses
of some glasses may hurt your eyes
so never wear them. If you cannot
read the word “what” don’t be dis—
couraged because at the very least
2 percent of the people of this state
cannot read at all. Some Africans
which are black and some pigmies
din’t even know where to find the
letters to spell “what" which can
easily be found on any typewriters.
In further discussion of “what," one
never knows especially if he or
she is inexperienced.

“What” can be anything from a
manneguin—which reminds me, “Do
you know my Uncle?”-—to a queen
of France, guillotined during the
French Revolution. She even drank
Coco Colas on Sunday in church.
The Preacher often remarks of the
loneliness of the day or evening
which ever “what" was. So he took
German to make sure he could
get a government job no matter
“what” the outcome of the war.
In future years “what" may be
the Atlantic Ocean so full of bat-
tleships so thick that fish must
swim in the Canals made by the
Ancient Egyptians dried up and
covered with sand. Ohio River sand
makes rougher concrete than the
soil infested sand from the Ken—
tucky River. Therefore “what” can
wheeze, whistle, weep, weed or
weight—So WHAT??-—Ghost Writer.

What would the UlHi Lights be
without its gossip column? Well.
once again the scouts have been cir-
culating ‘round and some mighty
interesting facts have been under—
covered. The summer heat must
have affected some, while the “love-
bug‘ just caught up with others. No
one knows who I am, so that makes
me safe ( hope).

I know you are interested in the

outcome of some of the romances
of the alumni. First, the long ro-
mance between Dickie and Edith.
Well, Edith went away to New Eng-
land, so Dickie thought he would
get a gal for the summer; however.
Betty Brannon seems to have hook-
ed him permanently. But Edith is
not alone, for she says the charm
of the New England boys can not~
be forgotten. The winter should
hold some pretty interesting devel-
opments in this affair for our dear
Freddy, who is also carrying the
torch, for the above mentioned Bet-
ty B. Rumor has it that Fredy is
top man. (Please don’t repeat!)

We still have the same old trian-

gles, of course. For instance, Bob
O’Brien, Jeanne, and the continual
competition of Horace and we can’t
forget the triangle of Johnny, Mary
Beale, and Carroll, which doesn’t
seem to have progressed much eith—
er way since their high school days
Although it’s not a triangle, Jack
B. seems to be gloating over Donn‘s‘
absence. Sally, does absence make,

 

the heart grow fonder? But we also
can’t forget that Jack had dates}
with two girls Saturday night, how—l
ever he kept the one with Sallyll l,

That‘s enough of the alumni. Let‘s!

Hot oft? the Juke Box

 

 

Hot off the wax for this month
looks as if there is going to be a
tie between three songs for first
place. “Jim” recorded by Dinah
Shore, is considered to be the best
recording. This number is one of
the tunes on top. Next comes Bing
Crosby‘s arrangement of “ ’Till
Revielle,” and then Tommy Dor-
sey’s recording of “Yes, Indeed.”
which are just a few of the ones
that are considered to be very good
at this time. Here is a list of record-
ings an
