iseniors staged this delightful com—

enjoyed by all.

Carolyn Stroud and Mary Lynn

a student teacher who inspired
them to act. Mr. Galloway also
helped them very much with their
parts! Mrs. Sherman Miller also
helped direct on occasions; there—
fore, the seniors had ample di—
rectors, and all of them were good.

Tryouts for the play were held
on Monday, October 8. Judges were
Mr. Burkeen, Miss Myles, and Mrs.
Goodwin.

The seniors did a fine job on
their play, and they should be com-
mended for their hard work. The
play was excellent.

such as character, service, and
ability. In short, he inspired us to
set goals for ourselves.

Responsibility

With the beginning of a new school year, we all have cer—
tain responsibilities to undertake. The new officers of various
clubs have been elected, and our duties have begun. We must
try to do our jobs to the best of our abilities. \Ve all want the
organizations to become even stronger and represent the school
well. If you are not an officer, you must uphold the organization
and help to make it better. The activities will be successful in
proportion to the effort each person gives to his or her job.

Although many of us are not in certain organizations, we
have responsibility. \Ve are all a part of our school, and it is
our duty to uphold its policies and work to make it even better.
Our attitudes and actions determine the character of our school.
It is even more important for us as University School students
to guard our actions because we live in a glass bowl than it is
for students of other schools. We are constantly being observed
by student teachers, experienced teachers sent from various
schools to get ideas on new ways of teaching, and other ob-
servers. However, whether we are observed closely, or not, it
is important that we assume the responsibility of making the
character of our school even better.

Another form of responsibility we must all assume is that
of doing our school work well. If we do not learn through our
studies to do work thoroughly and properly, we won’t be able
to perform our duties as good leaders today and good citizens
tomorrow. Each of our lives will be enriched, not only by learn-
ing to assume responsibility, but by broadening our knowledge.

Let’s all do our best to be good leaders, good members, and
good students, so that we can build a better school, better city,
and a better nation.

Support U-H i

The first University High School Senior High basketball
game will be held on November 16. This year we are looking
forward to the support of both the Junior High team as well
as the Senior High team. \Ve are hoping for a good year and
have some mighty fine ballplayers to start us off. Let’s get be-
hind them and support them. A team can not be a team with—
out their school behind them.

Due to the merger of Junior and Senior High into one Pep
Club it is felt by all that a larger population will be present at
the games. This will enlarge the cheering section tremendous-
ly, which will be a big help since our school is so small.

Lets get beh'nd the cheerleaders as well as the team. They
need our help, for six voices yelling are not enough for the
whole school.

In conclusion, let’s have school spirit this year and make it
better than last year's. VVe’re a small school, but a good one;
so let’s be proud of our school and support it to the best of our
ability.

Magazine Sales

The junior class had a very
profitable magazine sale this year.
The class was divided into two
teams headed by Lucy Manly and
Pegsie Lisle. Lanny Cox was elect~
ed business manager.

The sales ran from September
21 to October 8. On the last day
the total amount sold was $1,809.43,
which netted the class $537. Lucy
Manly’s team turned in $941.70 for
first place, and Pegsie Lisle’s team
turned in $867.73 for second place.

Pegsie, high salesman with
$202.98, won a watch. Lucy, having
won second with $192, received a
portable radio; and Puddin New-
bury, having come in third, won a
radio.

The class had quite a number
of $25-certificate salesmen. They
were: Pat Boyd, Shelia Hargett,
Malinda Clay, Lindsay Nunn, Lan-
ny Cox, Bradley Switzer, Ernie
Clarke, Charlie Turnbull, Perry
Patterson, Rae Reed, Herky Rupp,
and Allen Tolman.

The $100-pin salesmen were:
Betty Evans, John Howard Wil-
liams, Johnny Odear, Puddin New-
bury, Lucy Manly, and Pegsie
Lisle.

The junior class wishes to ac—
knowledge its thanks to everyone
who helped make their sale a suc-
cess by purchasing magazines.
They also wish to thank Mr. Por—
ter, their homeroom teacher, who
contributed greatly toward making
the sale a real success.
