FOREWORD

To us seniors, leaving University High, this book is so much more than
just the last issue of the U-Hi Lights, so much more than a book of pictures
and sayings. It writes a finish to four of the happiest years of our lives.

On the following pages, we have tried to record some of the happiness
and pleasure which filled our high school days, not because we’ll forget them,
but so that others may share them with us. We have recorded our class
history, the many activities taken part in, a glance into the future, and we

leave a will for the juniors.

Leaving University High, we feel that we are prepared for the new
adventures which await us. Although our graduation is a happy occasion,
we hope that there will be a few tears among the laughter of parting.
\Ve’ll alvays remember the days we spent at old UéHi and we hope others

will not forget us.

Looking Backward

Many moons ago when the present Senior Class
was basking leisurely in the grade contentment,
most of us longed whole-heartedly for that grad-
uation day. But the day has arrived, and our
hearts are full of woe at the thought of leaving
the dear old Alma Mater. \Ve hope we’ve left
more than a tiny blot on the U—Hi map. They
were such precious, glorious and tragic past years.

In the fall of ‘30 when we were all frightfully
new, it being the year one of our beginning, and
one in which we fought fiercely to defend our-
selves against outsiders who callously called us
“the dump” (but eventually, all signs of ash cans
and the slanderers receded), a few of us veter-
ans were in the fifth grade; namely, Louise Gallo-
way, Betty Mitchell, Marion Valleau, and Janet
Fergus. Evelyn Bradley was in the fourth grade,
and the rest, Eula Vere McIntosh, Marcia Ran-
dall, Billy Belt, Billy Adams, and B. B. McInteer,
were comfortably situated in the sixth grade,
with the aid of Miss Conroy.

The superiority complex which we acquired
there helped us in maintaining our self respect,
when we graduated into the looked-down-upon
berth which we occupied in the seventh grade.
This year we were in the right wing of the build-
ing, and a number of 5A pupils had joined our
ranks, as had Jesse French, Helen Horlacher, Alice
McGaughey, and John Courtney. On the whole
we were just one big (on the whole, remember)
happy family, quite self sufficient, and we did our
share of heckling our dear but (what we consid-
ered) unnecessary teachers. Our pact remained
while we made a conquest of the eighth grade.
Here Mary James and Wick Johnston made their
entrance to pledge themselves to five rollicking
years of work and play. Somehow, we persevered
through the year of ’82, making such magnificent
decisions as who would be Student Council and
class officers, the most beautiful girl and hand-
some boy, although, after looking back at various
snapshots, it is startling to see how many were
then in the ugly duckling stage; but maybe we
had a faint ray of hope after all. Several of our
class who were musically inclined became mem—
bers of the orchestra and the Glee Club which
participated in the State Contest. But the crown—
ing glory of the fairer sex was the victory over
the senior class in the Intramural basketball tour—

nament, thus procuring the reward. The boys
played, too, but their competition was too stiff.
At the season when holly wreaths were being
hung and Christmas presents exchanged, we made
our social debut, when Miss Stella Spicer gave a
dance, and at night, too. Only we ourselves can
recall what agonies we suffered, what pangs of
fear and discomfort at the thought of our first
real brawl.

In the ninth grade we started to go our devious
ways. A few of our members left to go to Henry
Clay. Mary Katherine Luigart, Mary Conant,
and Keene Gurnee joined our ranks. Enthusiasm
for sports among the boys was overwhelming.
Richards Swope, John Courtney, and others began
a life of scrubs and bench warmers for the glorious
cause of football, which eventually receded, and
basketball careers commenced. Many of the boys
became “U” men and also Hi-Y members. Mr.
Keffer, our home room teacher, went with us to
VVick’s farm on the Johnston road, on a grand
class picnic.

When we attained the rank of sophomore, we
became terribly conscious of our upper classmen,
and attempted to sever connections with anything
of a “childish” nature. “How green grow the
freshmen hereabouts” was our weathered opinion
of the persecuted youngsters. This year we were
in the Senior High Glee Club. Our music teacher.
Miss Parker, became seriously ill and left us in
the middle of the year, and Mr. Friedman
struggled around with us. A new feature in the
curriculum was the dramatics class, under the
direction of Miss Nannetti Byron, which gave a
play and several radio programs. We were al-
lowed to attend Bible Class, under the auspices
of the Hi—Y and the Girl Reserves, which most of
us eagerly joined. Marion Valleau was our presi-
dent and Miss West our home room adviser that
year.

Sunburned, healthy, and clear—eyed, we came
en masse up the three front steps and found sev-
eral delightful changes. We had a new principal,
Mr. Williams, and Miss Morse taught us music.
The hours were changed, much to our chagrin,
and there were lots of new extra curricular activ-
ities. George Poole and Charles Candioto came to
join us. Miss Peck was our home room teacher,
but due to her appointment as Dean of Girls, she

‘vb

 

 ‘vb

willed us to Miss Rogers. The Social Committee
was created and Marcia Randall and John Court-
ney were elected class representatives. Class
members became active in Girl Reserves and Hi—Y.
The Yuletide was an exciting event. A cantata
was given, with Janet Fergus in the lead. All who
were interested in music participated in it. Our
Glee Clubs, Mixed Chorus, and Orchestra were
entered in the State Contest and emerged with
several honors.

From the beginning of our junior year we had
anticipated entertaining with the Junior-Senior
dinner and the Prom in honor of the seniors. In
charge of these was Helen Horlacher, chairman,
and our president, Billy Belt, officiated. Mem—
ories of ceremonious speeches, strawberries, for-
mals, and packs of people remain. The Prom was
really an affair, and both occasioned strenuous
work, but were worth it. Then came exams which
all managed to swim through, although some of
us did nearly drown. Oh! yes, National Honor
Society claimed one of our members, Marion Val-
leau, who thoroughly deserved it. It was nice
realizing we were to rule the roost next year.

!

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder’ is an
old adage which certainly is true, for during the
three short (too short) months we had begun to
experience some pangs of appreciation and affec-
tion for the old Alma Mater and its wardens.
After searching around we spied some person—
ages whom we had managed to catch up with.
Virginia Brack, Jimmy Stapp, Willard Overstreet,
Dawes Thompson, and found other new friends,
Louise Lucas from Kansas, Connie Garber of Ala-
bama, and Wilmore Garrett of Nicholasville, who
was given the distinct honor of being senior class
president. John Courtney was elected Hi-Y pres—
ident, Janet Fergus, Girl Reserve president, and
Mary James, vice—president. Editor of the U-Hi
Lights was Betty Mitchell, and Louise Galloway
and Mary Conant were sub editors. Also the de-
bating team was launched by Miss Fannie Her-
man. Billy Adams, Louise Galloway, Marion Val-
leau, and George Poole supported it gallantly and
well.

Again part of the intelligents was recognized by
the National Honor Society when Louise Galloway,
Betty Mitchell, and Billy Adams were taken in.
A delightful dinner was given in honor of the Girl
Reserves by the Hi-Y’s in the U-Hi cafeteria. The
Girl Reserves in turn entertained in the gym for
the visiting Y. M. C. A. boys. As a result of the

American Government classes' previous year's
work, the Student Government was instituted with
Evelyn Bradley and B. B. chosen from the senior
class because of their high standing. Social af—
fairs continued to be planned by the Social Com—
mittee, of which Marcia Randall and Richards
Swope of the senior class were members. We had
lots of fun at the open houses and Christmas
dance that we helped give, even though a number
of our members were nearly shot by a hill billy
when they were in search for decorations in the
hills. We struggled through exams. John Court-
ney, Richards Swope and Wilmore received white
sweaters for their grand work in basketball. Wil-
lard Overstreet and Jimmy Stapp already had
theirs. After many weeks of perseverance on the
senior play we presented it and was it a wow!
Even if we did give it. The baccalaureate sermon.
the Junior-Senior dinner, the Junior Prom, teas.
parties, etc., await us, but even these lovely things
do not compensate for our having to leave “the
grand old institution.”

We hope we’ve done a little to make you re-
member us when we're gone. Adios and a fond
farewell, and thanks to you teachers, students.
and friends for helping us through the past years.

REMINISCENCE

Why do I hate to leave U-Hi 1’

Oh—I don’t know exactly why.

Perhaps it’s the smooth, bright, red brick walls,
Or the pillared porch, or the long cool halls;

Perhaps it‘s the shrubs and the trees outside,
And the broad green lawns and walls so wide.
It might be the familiar noises we hear,

Or maybe the friendly atmosphere.

Perhaps it’s the people we see every day,

The teachers and pupils, all grinning and gay;
The juniors and seniors who are always around.
And good old Wilson in the background.

I can’t explain why I love U-Hi—
It’s just in my blood; I don’t know why.

The Last Will and Testament
Of the Senior Class

We, the members of the senior class of 1937, of
the town of Lexington, county of Fayette, State
of Kentucky, being aware of the uncertainty of
high school life, but of sound mind and memory,
do make and declare this to be our last will and
testament. revoking and annulling any and all
other wills or codicils that we may have heretofore
made.

After careful consideration and due thought,
we do hereby will, devise, and bequeath our assets
to the remaining students of our school without
reservation or exception.

Louise Lucas leaves her love for the army (not
the navy Connie) to all the girls in school for
“there’s something about a soldier that is fine,
fine, fine.”

Bill White leaves his height to Robert Martin.

Janet Fergus leaves her attractiveness, pleas-
ant disposition, and sweetness to Dorothy Pres-
ton.

George Poole leaves his mechanical ability for
soprano, alto, tenor, and bass car horns and car
door bells to Tony McCain.

Alice McGaughey leaves her wonderful re—
sourcefulness and technique to “draw ’em in” to
Mila Haines.

Dawes Thomson wills his splendid voice to
Donald Galloway.

Evelyn Bradley passes her liking for novels,
prose, mysteries, essays, poetry, biographies, and
short stories to the new literary editor, Louise
Ewan.

Wicklifle Johnston leaves his ways with horses,
dogs, and teachers to Jean Cook. Here’s luck to
you, Jean!

Marcia Randall wills her enthusiasm for peppy
sports, such as basketball, horseback riding, ten-
nis, swimming, and sailing to Elizabeth Wiggin—
ton.

Jesse French wills his mania for aeronautics to
Jimmy Marlowe in order that Jimmy may be in-
sured of a happy landing.

Virginia Brack bequeaths her technique with
lipsticks in and out of chemistry class to Mr.
Kei’fer.

Mary K. Luigart leaves her clever and ever
pleasing ways to Mary Louise Stokes.

John Courtney leaves his long list of high school
activities (not feminine) to Lloyd Ramsey to use
with discretion.

Eula Vere McIntosh leaves her ability to
"catch" the opposite sex “hook, line, and sinker”
to Carola Sanders.

Richards Swope leaves his “devil may care at—
titude” of “\Valter Eggshell” to his able successor,
Margaret Brown.

Louise Galloway leaves her charming person—
ality to the girls of our school to make as good use
of as she did in and out of school.

Betty Mitchell leaves her love for the old U—Hi
Lights and many happy returns to Clayton Rob—
inson.

James Stapp leaves to Bruce Price his good»
natured and winning smile of personality.

Marion Valleau leaves her ability in being a
woman of affairs, not only in the senior play, but
in life as well, to Angeline Wyatt.

Mary James leaves her ability to tickle the
typewriter keys to Betty Pepiot to keep up on her
history notes. (And that is an important thing
to do. Just ask any senior.)

B. B. McInteer leaves his ability of using an
incomprehensive, capacious, impressive, and an
outstanding vocabulary to Wilma Gorman to make
good use of in her social and personal column.

Mary Conant leaves her good qualities to her
sister, Caroline, so as to keep them in the family.
She leaves us romantically in doubt.

Wilmore Garrett leaves his athletic ability to
Nelson Woolcott. He leaves his quietness to Os—
car Belcher.

Constance Garber leaves to any eligible aspir—
ant her love for the tropics, the moon of Panama,
and the navy. Are you that aspirant, Mildred
Pierson?

Billy Belt leaves his years of enthusiasm for
rattling Model T’s and streamlined Ford V—8’s to
Robert Hupp. He leaves his ability to collect ads
to Arthur Graves for next year’s senior play.

Charles Candioto wills his famous collection of
all shapes, sizes, forms, and brands of whiskey bot—
tles to Bobby Courtney, who is already doing right
well towards establishing a rival collection,

 A Glimpse Into the Future

May 20, 1965.
Dear Miss Anderson:

I was certainly glad to hear that you are feeling
so well. I’ve tried my best to keep up with all my
U-Hi teachers and classmates, but they’ve gone
so far away that it’s sometimes very hard. But
I’ll try my best to answer your questions about us
all.

Billy Belt is the most successful, I suppose. He
made a tour of the country after returning from
Alaska, winning all the hog-calling contests he
could find. His voice showed such vim, vigor, and
vitality that the Socialists put him on their party
ticket as vice-president. He keeps beautiful con—
trol in the Senate, and says he owes it all to Miss
Peck for teaching him so much history.

His worst offender in the Senate is Louise Gal—
loway. She married shortly after graduating
from U-Hi and went to Reno six months later.
She liked Nevada and her lawyer so well that she’s
lived there ever since—when she’s not in Wash-
ington. Louise has been elected senator from Ne-
vada twice and at present is very much interested
in child labor.

I haven’t seen Betty Mitchell since the year aft-
er she graduated from the University. She went
on to England to Queen Elizabeth’s coronation.
From her letters, I gathered that she met an Eng-
lishman from South Africa there, married him
two weeks later, and went to South Africa to live.
She said when I heard from her last that she had
started a School of Music for the little native chil—
dren of the section. Her husband is a missionary.

It took me almost a year to find where Wick
Johnston was hiding out. I went to see him the
last time I visited Lexington. Wick came to the
door in an artist’s smock and invited me in. Be-
sides that, and saying that he was very busy, he
said nothing more. He was painting Marion Val-
leau, who has become a professional artist’s model
(you can see her on almost any magazine cover).
He writes when his rheumatism is too bad for him
to paint. And for a hobby he raises dogs.

Just for old time’s sake, he sends his manuscript
to the Candioto Publishing Company. Charlie has
become a very successful publisher. He and Mar—
cia Randall will soon celebrate their fifteenth wed—
ding anniversay if Marcia isn’t in Reno. She’s

running around now with Jimmy Stapp. It seems
that while Jimmy was in college in New Mexico
he organized an escort union. When he gradu-
ated he started traveling from one college and
university to another organizing the escort union
and he’s president of it now. He ran into real
opposition last year when he tried to put the
union in at Kissimme College in Arkansas last
year. The president. Dr. Jesse French. was very
much opposed to it and has made several lectures
against it.

Richards Swope is the only lawyer in the class.
He’s been very busy chasing Mary James around
the country since the time we graduated from
high school. Mary is a successful actress, but
she's always having a law suit on her hands. She’s
still holding out against Richards and says she’ll
never marry. In between the times he's settling
Mary’s law suits, Richards writes on Advice to
the Lovelorn column.

You’ve heard what’s happened to George Poole,
I’m sure. He and Helen Horlacher had been mar-
ried for twenty-five years and he suddenly killed
her. He never gave a reason all through the trail.
The jury convicted him of murder in the first de—
gree—life imprisonment.

I haven’t been able to locate either Billy Adams
or B. B. McInteer for twenty-five years. Billy was
fired from college in 1940 and went to South Amer-
ica to open a branch of the Bradley Insurance
Company. Evelyn didn’t go to college. An uncle
willed her his insurance company and she has
made a success of it. She felt sorry for Billy and
gave him a job in South America. B. B. was seen
last in a Netherland Plaza bell boy uniform, airing
three pekingese in 21 Cincinnati park, so Alice Mc—
Gaughey told me.

Alice was widowed seven years ago and is living
with her five boys in New York. They have to
have a first floor apartment because Alice is too
fat to walk up and down stairs.

Mary Katherine Luigart and Eula Vere McIn-
tosh have opened the most exclusive dress shop in
California. They do the designing themselves
and make the clothes of the movie stars. Inci—
dentally, they will design clothes for men if they’re
paid enough.

Random Thoughts

DESTINATION

I
I want a girl—who’ll be all mine,
Not a modern siren, nor a clinging vine,
But a simple thoughtful miss.
Who’ll like me as I now exist;
A girl who’ll be worth all respect,
For whom I’d serve each nod and beck;

II
A girl who would not take my all.
And think that she could make me crawl:
But take my side when right or wrong.
And keep her love for me so strong.
That I would give my life and soul,
To keep her to the final goal.

III
But, ah! I fear there is not such,
Still in dreams I vainly clutch;
In trailing garments now she roams.
In heaven high, till I come home;
And in the land where I shall rest,
It’s there, I’ll end my fruitless quest.
