2 — U-HI LIGHTS, Tuesday, October 18, 1955

A Dedication . . .

In every organization there are a few who shoulder the load,
a few who slave without recognition and encouragement. We
wish to dedicate this first issue of our paper to each person—
stalf member, reporter, typist, faculty member, or student—who
has helped to organize the U—Hi Lights for 1955-56.

The editors and staff of the U—Hi Lights want to publish an
excellent newspaper this year. But this goal can only be at-
tained in full co-operation with the entire student body.

We are open to all suggestions for the improvement of the
U-Hi Lights and will welcome additions to the staff. If there
are complaints or criticisms, please bring them straight to the
editors. Constructive criticism can be helpful, but grumbling
behind our backs will not improve the paper.

All of us want a newspaper of which we can really be proud!
Our working together will make it so!

H.D.A.

Let’s Learn The Easy Way?

For this age in which we live, there seems to have been
invented a mechanical substitute for everything from math-
mutical computation to ditch-digging. We come to rely on our
push-button conveniences to the point that there seems to be
nothing for which a contraption can’t be substituted. The latest
of these, still very much in the talking stage, is a proposed
substitute for study. That is, to play records while we sleep of
the subject to be studied and sub-conciously to absorb the
knowledge, thus using one of Mr. Gilbreth’s unavoidable de-
lays.

When elementary school arithmetic became especially hard,
I remember wishing for a magic pencil. I imagined it, tilted
skyward defying the laws of gravity, busily moving along the
page working my math problems for me. I also imagined my-
self sitting back, doing nothing and . . . enjoying it thoroughly.

We’re more scientific these days. I heard someone ask Mr.
Kemper the other day why learning couldn’t be injected into
us by shots. They could come in one, two or three year courses
and we could learn Latin through Virgil much as we can go
about being immunized to typhus.

All these pipe-dreams sound deceptively inviting. At first it
seems too bad that there aren’t these labor—saving devices yet
invented for our convenience. On second thought, however, we
realize that a large measure of the enjoyment of earning is the
work we put into it.

PERSONALITY PARADE

 

The personality—packed persons for this issue of the U—Hi
Lights are Nancy Brown and Bob Miller—and no wonder!
Nancy is the 1956 Purple and White Editor, Senior Student

Council representative, and a member of Na

ciety, Masque and Gavel, Beta Club, Pep Club, the U-Hi Lights

and Little Choir.

Bob, the male specimen for this issue, at

present is an active member of Beta Club, Masque and Gavel
and National Honor Society. He also is Assistant Sports Editor
of the U-Hi Lights, Circulation Manager of the 1956 Annual,
and far from least President of the Senior Class.

To rate these and numerous
other honors, the tiny Annual
Editor is just bubbling over with
enthusiasm, pep, cleverness, leader—
ship and good looks. Nancy de-
scribes her ideal man as very,
very tall with hazel eyes, a crew
cut and—strangely enough, he
sounds just like Ken Brown. She
says her favorite color is blue—
but I don’t believe her, Brown
seems to be more logical.

For music she likes both clas-
sical and popular, her favorite
piece being the theme from “The
Story of Three Loves” which she
plays beautifully on the piano.
Her pet peeve is people who don’t
have a sense of humor—so beware,
when she tells a joke—laugh!

Here’s what kids around school
say about Nancy: “She's tops”,
“The most to say the least”, “Quite
a gal”, and “I just luv’ her”.

Bob’s favorite subject is math,

Dobree and Bob
Try For Scholarships

Dobree Adams and Bob Miller
were chosen by the Faculty as
U-Hi’s participants in the Na-
tional Merit Scholarship Program.
The qualifying examinations will
be given on October 26, 1955. The
National Merit Scholarship Pro-
gram is a nationwide search for
high school seniors who can best
profit from a college education.

and since he expresses no enthu-
siasm in making known his petty
likes and dislikes, we can well see
that he is a very easy person to
get along with.

Tennis and horseback riding rate
high with Bob as spare time pleas-
ures. He spends most of his sum-
mers instructing horsebackriding
at Camp Roosevelt mnerry, Ohio.

When asked what his ideal was
of a perfect girl, he was silent and
then for some odd reason, got a
far off look in his eyes! Couldn’t
be Washington, could it Bob?

A few comments about Bob are:
“Capable”, A good guy” and then
there was one that was simply too
long to print.

N.R.O.T.C. Examinations

The tenth annual competitive
examination to determine recipi-
ents of the Naval Reserve Officer
Training Corps scholarships will
be held December 10. Applications
must be received by November 18.
For information write to N.R.O.
T.C.. Navy Recruiting, Post Office
Building, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The examination, an aptitude
test, will determine those who will
take the rigid Navy physical exam-

ination in February. Approxi-
mately 1,800 young men will be
selected to become recipients of
these Navy sponsored scholarships.

 Peek-A-Boo!

Mary Lynne seems to have col-
lected another piece of jewelry
lately.

Lindsay, what’s this we hear
about you and a certain UK boy?

Ann Rodgers, what about you
and that Louisville boy? Is that
the reason you have been looking
starry—eyed lately?

Barbara Harper has been keep-
ing her eye on a certain senior
lately. Wonder who that could be?

UK has really gotten some good
looking boys this year, especially
the one that looks like Rock Hud—
son. If you want any information
about him, ask Martha Marr.

Congratulations to these lasting
couples, Nancy and Ken, Betty
and Charlie, and Mary Dan and
Stoney.

A certain red “MG.” has been
seen around Shelia’s house lately.
What about it Shelia?

Rae you seem to be dating an
awful lot of boys lately—must be
nice.

Betty Hays (better known as
“Can-it-Babby”), what's this be-
tween you and Jimmy W.?

VP. and Lois seem to still be
dating everyone in town, keep up
the good work. Veep's have you
baked those cookies to send to
“Yale”, yet?

The theme song for the Junior
girls seems to be, “A Good Man Is
Hard To Find”.

W.R., your love life seems to
change from one school to another.
First it was Lexington Catholic
and now Lafayette, can’t you make
up your mind?

The award for the “cutest
couple” goes to Ernie and Lucy,
congratulations.

a certain Lafayette sennor. What
about it Dobree?

Another piece of juicy gossip
just came through the door that
Mr. Shemelya took Miss Kloecker
to the Henry Clay and Danville
football game Friday night.

I guess that’s all for now but
we'll be back . . .

Junior High Peep-Eye

School has started along with
some juicy gossip.

We notice that Mary E. has
“Ben” awaiting a letter from
Florida. Linda L. rushes home
after school to see if a letter from
Woodberry has come.

It seems that Boo has found a
girl from Lafayette. Isn’t her
name Betsy?

Dotty D. seemed to have en-
joyed herself in Russellville this
summer. She seems to have ac-
quired some Brother.

We’ve seen Bill Combs “Chas-
ing” back and forth from Frank-
fort. Also, Ruth G. has been going
to Paris a lot to visit relatives. Is

The U-Hi Band, better known as
the “Crawling Forty”, is planning
a successful year with nearly all
sections well represented with the
addition of the seventh grade. Al—
though the noises escaping from
the band room are ear-splitting
from time to time, a great deal of
improvement is actually being
made.

At the first meeting of the entire
band, officers were elected for the
year. Chosen to lead the “Crawling
Forty” for 1955-56 was Lanny Cox.
His assistants are First Vice-
President, Anne Armstrong; Second
Vice-President, Dobree Adams;
Secretary, Betsy Wright; and
Treasurer, Perry Patterson.

Fashions

Hello. Here we are again to
give you a few fashion tips and
tell you what’s popular this fall.

Hair styles seem to be a little
longer this year and not quite so
severe. For example, Lucy Manly.

We’ve been seeing a lot of the
long torso look and I hope we see
more of it. It’s very attractive,
but girls it takes a slim figure.

The girls always seem to copy
the boys. The khaki skirts and
long sleeve v-necked sweaters have
really caught on. Mary Lloyd's
blue sweater is really a dream.

Blazers and Hill jackets are
very popular for this time of the
year in all colors.

Black Watch plaid is everywhere!
Skirts, shirts, coats, jumpers, and
even petticoats are being worn
in that beautiful blue and green
plaid.

The heavy knit ribbed sweaters
are going to be popular again this
year. Mary Lynne has a darling
red one. Dobree, too!

Why doesn’t someone start a
new fad. Like wearing unmatched
shoes. Oh, I forgot Jay has al-
ready tried that.

Locker Room Lingo
Full of enthusiasm, Coach

Ed Shemelya, remains of last

year’s basketball team, and some new strength began practice

‘ for the forth-coming season.

Having drilled for only two weeks the out-look seems very
optimistic in spite of the small number of boys participating.

Returning to the squad are two lettermen who saw consider-
able action last year, W. B. Brown and Joe Hagin. Also back
are Sam Ward, Tommy Ginger, Bill Ginger, Warley Harper,
and Tommy Rich who was held out last year because of an
injury. Up from the 1954-55 Junior High and expected to add
plenty of strength are Lanny Cox, Ernie Clarke, and Bill Tay-
lor. Two new boys are also expected to contribute—Chuck
Maxson from Chicago, and Stewart Swartz from Lexington Jr.

On the part of the team and Coach, I believe that this year,
more than ever before, you will see a greater spirit and will to
win. Let’s have the whole student body, families and faculty
show that we are one-hundred per cent with the team.

Interview With Rick

An interview with a recent U—Hi
graduate will serve to present a
preview of future and additional
education which will concern every
student at U-Hi.

In interviewing Rick Adams on
the comparison of UK and U-I—Ii,
he was asked questions and gave
answers to some of the problems
and questions that may arise in
the minds of high school stu-
dents.

The following questions and an-
swers show Rick’s early reaction
to UK: Of what value has your
training at U-Hi helped you so-
cially and scholastically at UK?
Socially, it has helped him an
awful lot and scholastically, he
said that people from U-Hi ranked
a lot higher than the others, as
were shown by the scores on the
K. C. B. test. How do you feel
compared to the average Ken-
tuckian as to your preparation for
college? He feels pretty good
about that. -

Are thegteachin W’
different? fire the instruc-
tors less understanding? He feels
you do a lot more on your own,
it isn’t very hard to adjust, but
it is different. You have to do a
lot more reading.

What courses were of most
value? Mathematics, Psychology
and English. What are your out-
looks on fraternities and sororities
from What you have seen going
through rush? He is of the opinion
that the boys understand it, but
he thinks that it really isn’t com-
plicated. However, there are an
awful lot of parties to attend. Are
the U-Hi students more aware of
rush than other students? If so,
why? Yes. They know more about
it and he believes they are better
conversationalists and they know
more about what clothes to wear.

What course of study do you in-
tend to follow through college? He
is going to major in accounting.
How does it follow your high school
training? Generally, it doesn’t.
Are the boys much different from
the boys you usually go with? On
the whole, they aren’t. What can
you advise to help the girls? They
should try to meet as many people
as they can so that they can have
dates and know some of the people
with whom they will come in con-
tact. Do you think that the com-
muting students have equal chances
of making as many friends as
those that live in dormotories?
Probably.

What suggestions can you offer
to the graduating class and to the
students who will graduate? Study
as much as you can, because in
college, you will be more on your
own.

Some minds are like concrete, all
mixed up and permanently set.
