Bob Miller Is
Merit Scholar

It has been announced that Bob
Miller is one of three Lexington
boys to be awarded one of the cov—
eted National Merit Scholarships.
Last fall 60,000 students were se—
lected to take the preliminary
screening examination. Those re-
ceiving the highest scores on that
test took the January Scholastic
Aptitude Test of the College Ex-
amination Board. The finalists
were chosen from this last group.
University High School certainly is
proud of Bob, the Senior Class
president, who will attend Prince-
ton next fall.

 

sold about 372 bags of potato chips
during the annual Y-Teen potato
chip sale. The money we get from
this sale will be used to send a
Y—Teen to High Lake.

There was a city-wide Y-Teen

where a. potato chip queen was
crowned. The queen was Debbie
Martell, of Henry Clay.

Senior High Honors
Team At Banquet

The Senior High Pep Club ban-
quet was held on Friday, April 6,
1956. It was held in the football
room of the Student Union Build-
ing with Mr. Edgar McNabb as our
speaker. The banquet was held to
honor the basketball team and the
cheerleaders.

A delicious meal was served aft-
er which our giggling president,
Mary Bailey Pitts, introduced Mr.
McNabb. He talked to us on
whether our basketball season had
been a success or not, which put
us all to thinking quite a bit—-
the team, cheerleaders, and the
supporters of the team.

On the whole the banquet was
quite fun. The finishing touch to
the whole evening was when two
charming lads by the names of
Bobby Miller and Bill Sprague,
accompanied (‘2) by Barbara Har—
per, led us in the singing of our
new rousing school song, “Fight
Fiercely!"

Betty Hays will play a violin solo.
The boys’ Double Quartet, Little
Choir, and the Sophomore Group
will also add to the program.

Little Choir

The Little Choir represented the
school very aptly in the recent
State Music Festival. They sang
“Jesu, Priceless Tresure" and “Ye
Holy Angels Bright”, by John Jac-
ob Niles. This number was dedi-
cated by Mr. Niles to Mrs. Osborne
and the members of Little Choir.
They received a superior, which
makes a distinction because only
six superiors were given that day.

The Little Choir sang for the re-
ception given for Dr. Ginger.
Their program was in the audi-
torium and they sang two songs,
“Jesu, Priceless Treasure” and
“Homeland”, by Noble Cain.

The Little Choir has two more
appearances to make before the
end of school. They will sing
“Summertime”, by Gershwin and
two other songs for the Spring
Concert. They will also sing for
commencement at the invitation of
the senior class. The selections to
be sung are “Homeland” and “Lit-

tle Song of Life”.

Fashions

The summer cotton has appeared
again at U—High. Betty Hays‘ red
and white gingham with white
lickrack is precious. Lindsay‘s
white dress with the little pink
suns scattered about will be both
cool and refreshing this summer.
Molly has a print dress with hearts
all over it. With her black cash-
mere cardigan she resembles a
fashion plate from “Seventeen,” as
do all the girls in their new out-
fits.

Flowers are blossoming on girls’
reads as well as in flower beds.
V. P. frequently has a posie stuck
behind one ear while Anne A.
dresses up with flowers around her
“do—nut.”

Organdy is quite the thing this
year. Girls all over the fashion
world are drooling for lace, or—
gandy formals. Several girls had
darling ones at the prom.

Even the boys are “springy.”

Peep-Eye

There are a lot of cute ‘boys in
the seventh and eighth grades this

year who are “running around
loose." Jimmy Farra, Billy Moore,
Web Cowden, Johnny Cole, Sam
Warren, William Wood, Frank
Dickey, and Burton Milward are
only a few. You girls had better
get busy.

As we go to press, a “hot item”
is slipped under the door. It seems
that Suzanne Phelps is getting
along with a mysterious “B. B.”
Who is he, Suzanne?

We hear that Clay got a lot of
mail from Florida while Jeannie
was there.

There seems to be a TOP SE-
CRET ROMANCE going on be—
tween an eighth grade girl and a
ninth grade boy. Neither one is
saying anything, but we will bet
this will be a lasting romance.

Carolyn might need some plane
geometry to solve the triangle of
Tommy, Jamie, and herself. How—
ever, she has competition with
Valerie on Jamie’s hands.

Hasn’t Judy G. got enough boys
without William? But it seems up
girl can resist him, and we know
some ninth grade girls who think
he’s really the MOST.

We would like to congratulate

 

this year’s longest lasting couples—
Mary Frances and Chuck, Nancy
and Lee.

Lanny and Mary Elizabeth seem
to be doing all right; we wish
them lots of luck.

What happened to
Frank?

Who is Bethania interested in
these days? She says a very de-
finite “nobody,” but we have other
ideas.

Why is Elsie marking time until
school is out? It wouldn’t be that
that is when Saint Mark’s gets
out, too?

Heavens, Freda! How are you
keeping ALL those DARLIN’ boys
on a string? I guess it is not hard
for you, though. Lots of fun, isn’t
it?

Jimmy is awfully interested in
Charlotte these days, but he has
got a lot of competition.

Kitty, are things clearing up? We
hope so.

We hear that all the girls are
gOing mad for Mike G.

Dudley says she doesn’t like any—
body since she has broken up with
Harold, but we know some junior
boys who have been getting places
fast!

Barbara,

Fashions

Spring has arrived, and with it
come the spring fashions around
U-High.

We’ve seen lots of cute khaki
skirts, but we like Mary Elizabeth’s.
Charlotte’s has a blouse with
khaki stripes. When she wears it
with her khaki skirt it makes a
darling outfit.

Shirt dresses are very popular.
We’ve seen darling ones on Dotty,
Louise, Carolyn Stivers, and Tay.

Kitty, Dudley, and Bethania
seem to be going in for black den-
im Jamaica shorts. The new length
is a lot cooler for summer.

Betty Burnett and Dudley have

darling new spring dresses in the
Lanz style. Lanz always has pre-
cious spring styles. We notice Jes-
sica Paris really has some cute
ones.

Of course full skirts are always
popular, and Jessica’s coco brown
one is really smart. Also, Ann
Chamberlain, Ruth, B a r b a r a
Faulkner, and Betsy all have cute
ones.

Spring brings rain,
brings raincoats. There

PERSONALITY PARADE

Dobree Adams and Warley Harper.

Ever since Dobree e n t e r e d
U-High in the fourth grade, she
has been busy. She is now a mem-
ber of the Masque and Gavel, the
National Honor Society, the Beta
Club, the Pep Club, the Glee Club,
and the Band. She is secretary of
the Senior class, president of the
Y—Teen Inter-club Council, and
Editor of the U-High Lights.

The movie, “Guys and Dolls,”
rates high on Dobree’s list of good
movies. Hher favorite song is from
the sound track of the movie, “The
Man With the Golden Arm.” The
song has the same name.

Dobree loves shrimp and straw-
berries (not together, I hope), but
she loaths and detests broccoli
and cauliflower.

Our top personality hopes to en-
ter Wellesly or Randolph Macon
next year. She is trying to get a
scholarship to one of the two
schools. She plans to study either
interior decorating or mathema-
tics. Naturally, Dobree will do well
in whatever field she chooses. We
wish her the best of luck always.

Dobree’s favorite activity is
horseback riding. You can find her
busily exercising horses every
morning at 6 o’clock if you happen
to drive by her home. Her two
horses are beautiful. Dobree can
also tell you all the gossip of the
horse world. She picks up these
tidbits at the “Thoroughbred Rec-
ord," where she is working.

When asked about her ideal man,
she emphatically replied, “He has
to be tall enough so that I can
wear spikes.”

“Alaways gets the job done,”
“a most attractive and charming
girl,” “swell gal,” are only a few
of the comments one hears about
Dobree. U—High will certainly miss
our enthusiastic Dobree when she
graduates in June.

We also think Joe Curry’s plaid

For this issue of the Personality
Parade the U-High Lights staff
chose Warley Harper.

Warley is in his last year at
U—High, and he is an active mem-
ber of the Beta Club, Pep Club,
and the senior high basketball
team. He was electrician for the
senior play. He also serves on the
Social Committee;

Warley especially excels in his
talent for eating. He explains that
his favorite meal consists of
T-bone steak, french fries, lemon
pie, and milk. He prefers his
steaks well done and embellished
with lots of greasy gravy.

He is also fond of light classical
music; his favorite record is “Car-
ousel Waltz.” His favorite subject
in school is math, but he confesses
that psychology is his least favor-
ite subject.

Warley’s greatest ambition is to
be an electrical engineer.

Warley had quite a hard time
trying to think of any “pet peeves,”
but he finally decided that “dis-
agreeable women” and “slip over
sweaters” peeved him the most.

When asked to describe his ideal
woman, he thought a moment, and
then he said, “She must be well-
shaped, interested, and apprecia-
tive in her friends. She must blot
her lipstick."

“Happy wanderer,” “a precious
boy," and “real swell guy,” are
just a few of the comments that
are heard regarding Warley. The
Personality Parade salutes Warley
as one of its superb personalities
around school.

 

the girls get some?

Freda has a pretty blue blouse,
and Linda has a stylish red plaid
one. We also like Elsie’s white
lace blouse. Mary Frances has dif-
ferent colored Italian T-shirts
which are really knockouts.

That is all for this school year,
but we’ll be back next year with
more darling styles, fashions, and
fads.
