i once again a house fo1 the worship
It is a joyous holiday, celebrating , of God. It is told in Jewish legend
the first great victory for religious}
freedom won by the Jews more
than two thousand years ago.

In those days, the Jews of Pal-
estine were dominated by the rule
of Antiochus IV, a Syrian-Greek
emper or who demanded that every-
one in his empire follow his ways“
He seized their temple in Jeru-j
salem, filled it with idols and then
ordered the Jews to abandon theii .
faith on the pain of death.

.But the Jews refused to give up
their faith in the One God. Mat-‘
tathias, the Elder of the town of,
Modin in Palestine, in defiance of
the tyrant, called on the Jews to,
revolt. They followed their leader;
into the hills of Judea where Judah 1
Maccabee, one of Mattathias’ five}
sons, organized them into an army.
Judah was called the “maccabee,”
which means “hammer,” because
of the blows he struck for freedom.

For three years the Jews fought
the army of Antiochus. The ac—1
count of this stiuggle is recorded:
in the Book of Maccabees. There,
is one story thats tells how the
Maccabees, much smaller in num-
ber and arms than the enemy
force, set up a dummy camp. The
Syrian-Greeks, believing this to be;
the complete Jewish encampment:
attacked in full force—only to find
themselves surrounded by the ma-‘
jor part of the Hebrew army,§
which, under cover of darkness,i
had left the dummy camp and en— ‘
circled the entire area.

Judah Maccabee was finally able

that when Judah s men were clean—
ing out the Temple, they found
just a single flask of holy 011—
only enough to keep the Eternal
Light before the Holy Ark burning
for one day. Miraculously, this one
jar burned for eight days and
nights.

Judah Maccabee then proclaimed 1‘
San eight- -day holiday to celebrate

the 1ededication of the Temple to

:God Thus the festival received its

name, f01 Chanukah means ‘dedi—

cation.”
Today, children love this holiday,

inot only because it has become a

time for the giving of small gifts—
very often distributed on each of
the eight nights—but also because
Chanukah is the traditional tie for
playing the Dreydel game. The
dreydel is a small four-sided

‘wooden or metal top that is spun

by hand. The sides are inscribed
with the four Hebrew letters which
begin the words: Nes gadol haya
sham (A great miracle happened
there). It is also traditional to
serve latkes, a kind of potato pan-

cake. But the big event of Chan- 1 of

With the centuries, the Chan-
ukah candles have taken on a deep
meaning for Jews. They symbolize
the light of religious freedom the
Judah Maccabee and his followers
kept alive. And in the glow of the
candles, many Jews rededicate
themselves to the ideals of their
faith—as once the Maccabees re-
dedicated the Temple to the serv-
ice of the One God.

Christmas Program

This year the Glee Club is work-
ing very hard on the annual
Christmas Program which will be
presented December 19, in the high
school auditorium. The program
will consist of several songs by the
Boy‘s Group, Little Choir, Junior
High Chorus, Girl‘s and Boy’s Glee
Clubs, as well as the entire Glee
Club. The scripture readings will
be given by Joe Curry and Dudley
Milward. The Glee Club will pre-
sent several new songs, such as

f‘Oh, How J0yfully,” “Guiding Star

Carol,” “Sing, Oh Sing,” and
“Christ is Born.” However, the
songs such as “Fanfare,” “O Holy
Night" and “Joy to the World”
which have become traditional, will
be presented with usual beauty
under the direction of Mrs. Fred
Osborne. We are all grateful to her
for so generously giving her time
and effect in order to make it
possible for us to present our
Christmas Program.

Senior Dance

The annual Senior Dance was
held December 12, in the U-High
gym, from 9 to 12. Sarah Jane
Byers and a committee planned
every detail of the dance. Its suc-
cess is attributed to that commit-
tee.

The theme was “Christmas Fan-
tasy” and the decorations followed
the theme. At one end of the gym
there was a Christmas tree with
pink and white lights and at the
opposite end there was pink crepe—
paper with alternating bells and
snow flakes. Along the sides green—
ery was draped.

The music was furnished by the
Night Hawks. During the inter-
mission, Little Choir and the Boys‘
Group sang.

Let Us Not Destroy The Spirit Of Christmas

The season of Christmas has become symbolic throughout
the world as a time when all Christian beliefs forget their
differences and unite as one under the common bond of faith.
There is, at Christmas, a certain spirit which can not be found
at any other time of year, perhaps best described as a feeling
of love and understanding for all mankind. In the hopes of
preserving this spirit, we have surrounded it with a large
number of traditions and customs, many of which detract,
instead of add, to its original meaning.

As the season draws near to its ultimate climax, the pace
of our activities becomes more and more frantic and hurried,
until we find we have lost all conception of the once sacred
event we are in the midst of celebrating. We find that our
self-made traditions are defiling the significance and true
meaning of Christmas.

Perhaps the fault lies in the importance we have attached
to the various customs observed at Christmas. The sending
of greeting cards, once employed for the purpose of sharing
the Christmas spirit with a few persons of close relationship,
has now become a custom of mass proportions, as well as an
eagerly seized opportunity for effective advertising. Gifts have
always held an important place in the celebration of Christ-
mas, for in the presents we give to our loved ones, we also
give the much greater gift of love and remembrance. But
with the pages of gift lists and the rush for large quantities
of presents to be presented to persons quickly forgotten after
the gift is given, the once pleasant job of presenting small
tokens of Christmas joy has become a dreaded chore.

If we stop for a few minutes to peer through the heavy
curtains of custom surrounding the celebration of Christmas,
we find we can catch a glimpse of the actual meaning we
seemingly try so hard to disregard. As we begin our celebra-
tions this year, let us remember the true spirit of Christmas,
and try to observe it accordingly.

Our Apologies To Ogden Nash

Students, we wish to digress from the subject of Yule,

For which most of the pages of this paper have been used
and ask why you can’t be quiet in the programs at school.

Why whisper and laugh so noisily?

Why conduct yourselves abominously?

Why be so different of View,

And why do you and others have so few manners in com—
mon between you?

Most likely the speaker

Always feels weaker

When he’s finished trying to hold

The attention of about one hundred eighty sheep in the fold.

You wiggle and giggle and won’t

Shut up until people around you feel like leaving or hitting
you over the head. Too bad they don’t.

It’s also too bad when leaders of the school clubs keep setting

A bad example for other students of lesser degree who are
getting

Part of their educations

At these noisy convocations.

Teachers seem to be the only persons who are perpetually
preaching at you

To keep quiet in convocation, and of course “they don’t
matter because they don’t want what you do.”

But did you ever stop and think or remember the

Other students who like to listen to music or speeches or
panels on “What One Is Going To Be?”

Of course you are so much more occupied with yourselves,
and since that is the case

You could at least keep yourselves quiet and pretend to
listen by bringing a book, etc., in which to hide your face

 

While the rest of the school enjoys
Programs without the help of noisy little girls and boys.

Power For Good

University High School has a
tremendous reserve of power for
good.

Take, for example, the large
group of boys who recently got
together, under their own leader-
ship, to correct a situation in which
a mistake had been made. What
these boys did on their own initia—
tive was impressive. They used
their power as a group for the
good of all. Our school and our
community are good places in
which to live because of the fine
achievement of these University
High boys.

Take, for another example, our
school’s Beta Club. Here, we have
an impressive reserve of power
which is used for the benefit of
many. Beta Club members have
this year served our school com-
munity in helpful ways: assisting
at fall registration, helping in the
morning story hour for the ele—
mentary school, working in the
main office.

Then, too, there are U-High
individuals who enjoy doing things
for the good of others. There is
the student who genuinely enjoys
the success of others, and who
takes time out of a busy day to
congratulate a schoolmate on his
success in a basketball game, on
his success in a test—whatever his
friend may have done well. This,
too, is using one’s power for good.

 

D. L. M.

A schoolmate in need of help can
count on friendly support at Uni-
versity High. This we have seen:
one student helping another to
achieve good citizenship. This is,
indeed, using one’s power for good.

Thus, at University High, it has
become a way of life to use for the
benefit of all, our reserve of power
for good. Let us maintain, and
continue to build on, this high level
of living and learning.

The Sun

The sun lazily peeks its head
over the dim horizon casting beams
of glorious light and warmth. It
yawns and stretches its arms of
brilliance all over the earth. It
makes weird colors in the warm
blue hues of the sky. As it rises
over a mountain, ocean or a house
top it starts its supreme rule for
the day. Happy gleeful children
play under it all day; noisy cheer-
ful people turn a golden tan; and
a silent sweaty man works under
the sun to earn money for his
family. As the sun starts its jour-
ney beyond the horizon it sends
out rays of brilliant colors which
tell us the day is ending and that
night is approaching. As the sun
is setting so it is rising in another
place. Endless is the reign of the
sun.

“THE ESSENCE 0F GIVING”

With Christmas approaching, the
traditional custom of gift “swap—
ping” is in full vogue, to the point
where it has lost much of its true
and original significance. Many
have repeatedly asked: “What
shall I give?” The answer to these
truly), but how often: “Why shall
I give?” or more important: “How
Shall I give?” The answer to these
oft-ignored questions is found in a
poem written by an Arabic poet,
Kahil Gibrar, which, through the
kind offices of the “U-High
Lights,” it is my pleasure to share
with you.
It reads or rather it sings:
“Then said a rich man, Speak to
us of Giving.

And he answered:

You give but little when you give
of your possessions.

It is when you give of yourself that
you truly give.

For what are your possessions but
things you keep and

Guard for feai you may need them
to-morrow?

And to-morrow, what shall to-mor-
row bring to the over-

Prudent dog burying bones in the
trackless sand as he

Follows the pilgrims to the holy
city?

And what is fear of need but need
itself?

Is not dread of thirst when your
well is full,

The thirst that is unquenchable?

There are those who give little of
the much which

They have—and they give it for
recognition and

Their hidden desire makes their
gift unwholesome.

And there are those who have little
and give it all.

These are the believers in life and
the bounty of life,

And their coffer is never empty.

There are those who give with joy,
and that joy is

Their reward.

And there are those who give with
pain, and that pain

Is their baptism.

And there are those who give and
know not pain in giving,
Nor do they seek joy, nor give
with mindfulness of virtue;
They give as in yonder valley the
myrtle breathes its

Fragrance into space.

Through the hands of such as these
God speaks, and

From behind their eyes He smiles
upon the earth.

It is well to give when asked, but
it is better to

Give unasked, through understand-
mg;

And to the opened-handed the
search for one who shall

Receive is joy greater than giving.

 

And is there aught you would
withhold?

All you have shall someday be
given;

Therefore give now, that the sea-
son of giving

May be yours and not your in-
heritors’.

You often say, “I would give, but
only to the

Deserving.”

The trees in your orchard say not
so, nor the

Flocks in your pasture.

They give that they might live, for
to withhold

Is to perish.

Surely he who is worthy to receive
his days and nights

Is worthy of all else from you.

And he who has deserved to drink
from the ocean of life

Deserves to fill his cup from your
little stream.

And what desert greater shall
there be,

Than that which lies in the cour—
age and the confidence,

Nay the charity, of receiving?

And who are you that men should
rend their

Bosom and unveil their pride, that
you may see

Their worth naked and their pride
unabashed?

See first that you yourself deserve
to be a giver,

An instrument of giving.

For in truth it is life that gives
unto life—

While you, who deem yourself a
giver, are but a witness.

And you receivers—and you are all
receivers——

Assume no weight of gratitude, lest
you lay a

Yoke upon yourself and upon him
who gives.

Rather rise to-gether with the
giver on his

Gifts as on wings;

For to be overmindful of your debt,
is to

Doubt his generosity who has the
freehearted earth

For mother, and God for father.”

Ponder on the beauty of this
poem and the thought it conveys.
Place it carefully in your inner-
most heart, wrap it with the bright
light of your youthful intelligence
and offer it as a personal gift to
yourself. If you look carefully, it
bears the stamp of a life time guar-
antee of health, wealth, joy and
fulfillment. ——E. Evans

Let’s Remember
The Religious Side
Of Christmas

Each year around the end of
November, the Christmas lights go
up and the stores put up their
Christmas displays. Everyone be-
gins looking forward to December
25, which to many Americans has
become the symbol of presents,
cards and all around festivities.

But this year let us stop to think
about the real meaning of Christ-
mas. It seems to me we have made
Christmas a season in which we
compete to see who can give the
nicest presents and the greatest
number of cards. We begin pre-
paring for Christmas one or two
months ahead of time and become
so engulfed in all the preparations
we never stop to think about the
real reason for this holiday.

It is for these reasons I suggest
we go back to celebrating Christ-
mas for what it really is, not what
we have made it. If this is done, I
think it will mean much more to
all of us.

Ninth Grade News

The ninth grade has been study—
ing debating and has divided into
groups to give debates. There are
six people on a subject, three on
the affirmative and three on the
negative. We hope to get a lot out

newspapers on world affairs and
are studying the world situation.

In our art class, the Freshmen
are planning to decorate the hall
bulletin boards and the cafeteria
for Christmas.

Eighth Grade News

The eighth grade is planning a
party for Christmas. We are going
to have different people from other

3, “Little Choir" sang Christmas
songs for the Mason‘s Dinner at
the Lafayette Hotel. “Little Choir”
is having a very busy but enjoy-
able Christmas Season.

 

 

Junior High Fashions

All through the halls the Junior
High girls are displaying their up-
to—date school fashions. The dif-
ferent colored danskins seem to
be very popular among many of the
girls and the knee socks are still
favorites. Crew~neck cardigans and
boatneck sweaters are also very
well liked.

As for the favorite outfit for
school, skirts and sweaters are still
the most popular selection. Mary
Manly has a striking orange plaid
skirt, and Pat Witt has a plaid
skirt with matching vest which is
also very good—looking. All in all,
the fashions haven’t changed
much, but we’ll be back next issue
with more of the latest fashions.

Results Of Poll Concerning School Improvement

We often hear U-High students
voicing their ideas about what they
would do to the school if they ran
it. The editors of U—Highlights de-
cided to poll the students, and
during the past month, over a
fourth of the students in the upper
four grades were asked what they

‘ would do to improve the school.
. We have published the results here,

and excepting libel, nothing has
been omitted.

Most of the ideas concerned the
academic side of school life. The
one given most often was—make
science courses harder and better.
Others were:

1. Less homework during special
events.

2. More time and dedication to
studies (“We‘re in school to get an
education")

3. Other foreign languages, with
three or four years of the lan-
guage.

4. Get rid of Latin.

5. Cut unimportant things out of .

courses.

by Bryan Station, Bourbon County,
and Midway.

The Bryan Station game took
place November 18 with the De-
fenders playing host to the Purples
in their new gym. The Purples led
for a few opening minutes but
Defender star Scotty Baesler
started hitting and from then on
Bryan Station was never chal-
lenged, sending in their substitutes
in the last quarters of play. The
game ended with the score 89

fthe Purples traveled to Paris to

play a tough Bourbon County team
which had already defeated Clark
County early in the season. The
Purples threw a zone defense
against Bourbon County, and com-
bined with some fancy shooting,
managed to lead through most of
the first half. Then Bourbon
County came out the third quarter,
hitting a high percentage of their
shots from the outside while the
Purples were held to very few
points. This quarter made the dif-
ference in the score as the Pur-
ples scored as many points as the

It was suggested many times
that cafeteria food be either better
or cheaper. Other popular ideas
were about the school’s dances.
Students thought the social com—
mittee should give out bids with-
out names, which would bring a
larger crowd, and would make get-
ting into the dances easier.

Several people wanted to improve
.he method of choosing initiates for
the three honor societies, and
others wanted a chapter of Quill
and Scroll at U-High. (Quill rind
Scroll is a national journalistic
organization).

The following ideas were also
given, and are listed here in the
order of their popularity.

1. Have a smoking room (“be-

,cause it’s too cold to walk across
‘the

field”).

2. Pave the parking lot.

. Have a better basketball team.
. Change first hour to 9:00.
.Burn the school.

. Change the music periods.

. Stop taking'high school space

and rooms for University offices.

These ideas are highly contra-
dictory, and although some of them
were not given serio‘usly, most of
the students meant what they said.

Here we are back again to tell

‘you of all the new and old ro-

mances around the halls of U-Hi.

Three junior boys seem to find
Lee a fascinating name. Jack
Howell and Bill Harkins are count-
ing the days until they are able to
go back home. Could be two cer-
tain girls have something to do
with it? Whayne Haffler still finds
that Indianapolis has something
that Lexington is minus.

Joe Curry and Bethania have in-
terests at Lexington Catholic. We
would like to congratulate Bunny
and Linda E. on their rings, and
Carolyn Swartz on being pinned to
Sammy G. We have heard that
Tommy A. has fallen for another
Senior girl. We wish him luck.

Diana Thomas and Bucky, Mary
E., and Chandler, Eddie and Roz,
look as if they are always having
fun. We hope they stay together
because they look so cute together.
After the Senior dance and the
Christmas holidays we shall return
with all the new gossip.

 

losing the lead throughout the
game, ending with a score of 82
to 38. Ten days later we played
host to Walton Verona from north-
ern Kentucky. The Purples after
leading for three quarters were
turned back in the fourth quarter
to take a 64 to 47 defeat.

The Purples, still looking for
their first victory, will clash with
Garth High from Georgetown on
Tuesday, December 9, at the Pur-
ple’s gym.
