An Explanation (if The
Fro-College Program

The Pre—College Program is de-
ugned to give our seniors valu-
:zble experience in learning how to
budget and to use amounts of free
time siz'..1la1 to that found in
college. This program has been
planned for a period of two
months, and has the complete
support of the faculty and the
senior class.

Under the program which
gun April" 3, the seniois,und01 the
supeivispn oi the Dnector, are
to participate in independent study
and activity in preparation for
their college careers. All sen—
iors are to have organized instruc-
tion by .he Director in budgeting
their time and in learning to make
wise choices in the use of
supervised study and free time.

The seniors. under the Director’s
.....pc1vi on, are r from
regular study halls and are free to
use libraries, their homes or other
facilities as required by their
planned study budgets. They are
free to go off campus when not in
regular classes or other required
activities. They have been required
to woik out and submit to the
Director a study and activity chart
which is to be revised if necessary.
They are required to meet once
a week with the Director for in-
struction in independent study and
for periodic evaluation of student
progress. They are required to
maintain (1) high standards of
behavior in and out of school, (2)
mature attitudes, and (3) high
standards of academic achieve-
ment in accordance with ability.
They are required to attend all
classes regularly, including vocal
and instrumental music, with no
record of unexcused tardiness
Tiey are required to attend con-
vocation (without teacher super-
vision) and to participate fully and
responsibly in all extra—class ac-
tivities.

The philosophv of the program is
that we have a n obligation to pre-
part our students for the independ—
ence required during their college
years. If we expect young people
to grow in maturity they must have
an opportunity to become mature.
(The pr 11'; overabundance of
supervision provides inadequate
opportunity for learning to be
mature.)

The Junior Prom Court

Spring has finally come and the
time for the Junior Prom is draw-
ing near. The Seniors are an-
xiously waiting while the Juniors
spend most of their time working
or worrying about it—mostly
worrying.

The prom court this year, fol-
lowing the U-Hi custom, consists
of five Senior girls, four Senior
boys, and four Junior girls and
boys. The Junior class selects these
people by voting. This year they
selected Charlotte Adams, Sarah
Jane Byers, Helen Warren, Kitty
Craig, and Tay Maxson as the
Senior girls. One of these will
be the queen and Will be crowned
by the Junior Class President, Don
Paris. The four girls will be es-
corted by Jack Howell, Tommy
Adams. Whayne Haffler, and Bill
Combs.

The Juniors on the court this
year are: Carolyn Mansfield, Car—
olyn Stivers. Dill Marr, Judy Gross.
Bob Shier. Rufus Lisle, Jack Rus-
sell, and John Sasman.

 

Freda Grace Miller, Ed Marks,
Bill Harkins, Bill Warren, John
Sasman, Mike Flynn, and Mary
Elizabeth Wylie. The play was di-
rected by Mr. Burkeen and was
presented for the school during
convocation when it was greatly
enjoyed by everyone.

THE PROBLEM OF INTEGRATION

For over a century and a half our country has proclaimed
to the rest of the world the superiority of “our way” of life”
\\'e have sat back and prided ourselves on our fair and demo-:
cratic methods of dealing with any situation that might arise.i
\\'e have tried to back up our beliefs with action, and in this?
we have so far succeeded. But the problem confronting us
today is one that seriously threatens to destroy the basis upon
"‘which the entire framework of our democracy depends.

On May l7, 195']. the Supreme Court ruled that segregation
in the public schools was unconstitutional. This was met with
loud eatcalls and derisive jeers throughout the deep South.
lt soon became quite stnart to laugh at the Federal Govern-
ment and its new ruling. Quite smart indeed—until the country
reali/ed that the men in \Yashington had meant every word
they had uttered and were prepared to follow up their words
with action, and with force. if necessary. \\'ith this realization,
the South just as lirmly made clear her position——that she was
determined to stand up for the defense of her rights.

And what were her rights? Upon what basis could the
South justify her stand? These were the questions the rest of
us asked ourselves, and finding no answers, we soon dismissed
the problem as trivial.

But one day we opened our newspapers and saw the words
“Rioting in Little Rock" and “Arkansas Refuses to Accept
(Iourt Ruling" printed in black headlines. The South had
made her stand, and for the first time the graveness of the
situation was recogni/ed. A fierce battle over states’ rights
began to take place, and many of us found ourselves in the
predicament of opposing family traditions in ottr defense of
what we thought was right.

.\nd what is right? Is the South wrong for wanting to pre-
serve a belief that has been instilled in her inhabitants by
generations of ancestors? Is it wrong for the North to condemn
a situation in which it has never existed?

These are the questions today, and the questions to which
we have found no true answers. And until we do, our only
course of action is one of patient seeking and waiting.

IS U-HIGH A DUMP?

After having read one of the letters to the editor, we felt
compelled to defend'our school. \Ve ask how anyone could
be so cruel as to infer that University High School is still no
better than a dump!

It is true that this plot of ground was, long ago, the place
where the city left its refuse, odd bits of household furnish-
ings, rags. etc. At the corner of Scott and Upper Streets, dirty
trucks arrived daily to dump their rubbish clods. Today, when
they are brought in the newest, shiniest, passenger cars, a reader
insinuates that there has been no change!

The conglonieration of filth lay in the dump for days;
but our students are free to move around, are not allowed
to stagnate. One can be excused whenever one wishes, and
whole classes may go to events which will Enrich Their Minds,
i.e. Speech and Drama Festivals, journalism Clinic, and State
Tournament. Relief of this sort is more than important when
one's mind is in danger of rotting from learning about Silas
Marner every day.

The writer of the letter criticized our students who “scratched

 

off” in the parking lot, and “wasted time" in classes. He does

 

not realize that these activities are not harmful. Such outlets
are particularly necessary, as our schedule does not include
Basket-“caving to stimulate the mind and release tension.

In closing. let us point out that the city dtlmp looked bad,
and smelled bad—everything in it was obnoxiously different.
But our school turns out boys and girls who will always follow,
without daring to be different, or even cansing trouble by
asking why. This should be proof enough that ottr school has
bettered itself.

Dear Editor, erated.

It has been pushed at us ever
since we entered U—High that our
school is constantly looked to as
an example and is always before
the public eye. Things being as
they are, I can not dispute this
fact. As much as it may aggra—
vate us, it is the truth. Therefore
it is up to us to be a little more
careful of our actions and com-
ments than we would be if we did
not attend this school.

So much has been said about
conduct during convocation that I
am beginning to wonder what is
necessary to impress upon us its
importance. And drag racing in

parking lot is certainly not large

Dear Editor,

As a student of U-High, I would
like to say something about the
cafeteria. There are several rea-
sons why it should be improved.
.They are:

(l) The menu doesn’t
enough variety.

(2) By the time the Glee Club
gets into the cafeteria there are
no sandwiches or meats left.

(3) By 12:40 all the food is put
up and if we want more to eat,
there isn’t anything left.

(4) The secretaries and teachers
use the tables that are for the
students when there are tables
for them in another place.

I think all of these things could
be easily fixed and it would stop
many people from bringing their
lunches from homes.

 Dear Editor,

Of all the things that I see at
U-High, there is one thing that
disturbs me—the students. The
inmates here are average and prob-
ably not unlike other high school
students, but it is the cry here
that they don’t have privileges.
They moan to the teachers that
they can't do this or can’t have
salt shakers in the lunchroom.
For the most part their statements
are true, but let us examine why.

A student goes to the teacher,
“Can we go back there and study?”

The teacher says, “Yes.”

Later the teacher goes to check
on the students. What to her
wondering eyes should appear—two

out of the four are gone and the.

other two are talking about a re—
cent date. The teacher tells them
to come back and asks where the
others are. No answer, which is
understandable. Thereafter, when
a group asks to go study they are
refused by this teacher. The cry
goes up again, “why not?”

Here is “why not”: You are
given certain privileges which go
along with becoming adult, but
along with the rights go respon-
sibilities. You as a whole are seiz-
ing rights or demanding them and
when they are granted you re-
fuse to live up to the responsi-
bility. Democracy is a wonderful
thing because it affords the great-
est independence yet achieved by
man. However, it also places cer-
tain demands upon the individual.
It will only work if all concerned
do their part. To provw this I will
show you that it only takws onw
lwthwr of twwnty—six to makw
somwthing fail to function. You
are the letter E—make sure that
you do your part!

Dear Editor,

Sometimes it seems to those of
us who are lower-classmen that
only the seniors get the glory at
school. Often we’ve wondered if it
is fair for a person to be chosen for
or elected to an honor simply be-
cause he is a senior. Perhaps it
isn’t, but still it should be kept
in mind that the goal they have
reached has taken twelve years
and they possibly should receive
honor for doing just that. Another
point would be that we elect them
because this is their last year,
and after graduation is over in
June, high school life will be all
completed—the end of these pre-
cious four years. Perhaps be-
cause we want to make this year
the happiest is the reason. It is
difficult to understand this, but
maybe when we become seniors,
we can understand it and probably
be very glad it happens this way!

Double Trio

Early in March the members of
Double Trio were selected by Little
Choir. Double Trio consists of six
regular members and three alter-

 

nates. The members were chosen
on the basis of their tone and
quality and of their ability to blend
with other voices.

Double Trio will participate in
the Vocal Music Festival and in
the Spring Program.

Little Choir

The State Music Contest is only
a short time away and, as are other
singing groups, Little Choir is
practicing its contest numbers. It
will sing “Oh, Jesu, So Sweet” by
Bach, and “Romance.” Since this
is a Bach contest, one Bach num-
ber is required. The other number,
“Romance,” is a light and gay love
song, and will be accompanied on
the piano by Jeanie Rich. This is
an important time not only be-
cause of the contest, but also be-
cause of the Spring Program which
is presented every year.

Masque and Gavel

Masque and Gavel plans to pre-
sent a rather light skit sometime
in April. The club has also formed
a speech clinic which will meet
once a week in the auditorium.
The members will give various
skits, monologues, orations, edi-
torials, poetry and dramatic read-
ings for the Junior High students
who are interested in speech but
do not have an opportunity to par—
ticipate in Masque and Gavel ac-
tivities.

Beta Club

Beta Club has planned a rigor-
ous service plan for the spring
season. In a recent meeting the
members proposed to give a party
for the inmates of Eastern State.
Another plan still in the making
is that of getting some books for
the library. Charlotte Adams, the
President of Beta Club, said,
“We’ve planned a lot of hard work,
let’s hope we can do a good job
of it."

Y-Teens

The Y—Teens have been fairly
busy. We missed our last two meet-
ings because of the tournaments.
Our regular project is Manchester
Center. Every Saturday morning
we send three to four girls to play
with the children, talk to them,
or help them with projects. We
sincerely hope that the girls who
have not had this rewarding ex-
perience yet will soon take ad-
vantage of it.

We had a meeting March 26 in
which we discussed the potato chip
sale. This began March 26 and is
an important Y-Teen activity.
Our program was Dr. Parker who
brought slides of the pictures she
took while visiting New Zealand
and Australia on her trip around
the world. It was a very interest-
ing program.

 

U-Hl LIGHTS, Friday, April 24, 1959—3

 

Spring Fever

As, the first breath of spring
blows against the student’s face
his thoughts are likely to turn in
one of many directions, Perhaps
they turn to thoughts of love, but
it is very probable that, they turn
to Visions of spring vacation, pic—
nics or poetry. baseball, or a new
spring wardrobe. At any rate his
thoughts have a tendency to run
far afield of the business at hand
—that of getting the best pos-
sible education. And he cannot
afford the luxury of these day
dreams. It is the height of folly for
today's student, the adult citizen
of the not too distant future, to
fling away books and thoughts of
school, and to abandon himself
gaily to the wiles of Spring.

For he must constantly face the
harsh reality of a troubled world,
and if he is to achieve anything,
if he is to fulfill his obligation to
the ancestors who worked to solve
the problems of past centuries and
to the generations which are yet
to come, he must take a candid
view of the present and prepare
himself to meet its challenges. The
young people in our high schools
and colleges cannot afford to rest.
We have to keep moving forward
in our education, for the minute
progress ceases we have begun to
slide backward.

It is not only ourselves that
we harm when we permit our
minds to wander from our work,
for soon we will be called upon
to accept the responsibility of pub—
lic affairs—in the community,
state, nation, and the world. We
can only meet the obligation if
we have an adequate education.
And with all that is happening on
the earth and out in space today,
our generation will be faced with
problems more difficult than those
of any other age; with the possi-
bility of total destruction con-
stantly impressed upon our minds,
can we fail to realize the import—
ance, or indeed, the necessity, of
learning everything that we can?
We have to bring more than will—
ingness to the job before us—we
need knowledge, talents, and skills.

It is well to remember a phrase
of Emerson’s when the tempta-
tion to forget the mundane affairs
of classes, lessons, school govern-
ment, and other responsibilities
and trusts becomes increasingly
hard to resist: “We are not here
to play, to dream, to drift; we have
hard Work to do and loads to lift."
When spring fever gets into our
blood, let us recall these words
and the gravity of the trust which
will soon rest upon our shoulders.
Perhaps we will no longer desire
to sit day dreaming and “let the
rest of the world go by.”

This is not to say that Spring
should not affect us. Indeed, we
can, and we should, make it work
for us. For, after all, nothing can
look quite hopeless in the bright
light of a spring day.

Book Review

“Doctor Zhivago,” by Boris Past-
ernak. is a most enjoyable book.
Mr. Pasternak, a Russian novelist,
won the Nobel Prize for Liter-
ature for this work.

The time of the book is the pre-
revolutionary and post-revolution—
ary years in Russia. The terrible

itllld tragic upheavel of 1917 and

the surrounding years are de-
scribed in full detail. The people,
their political opinions, and their
religious beliefs are very much un-
like what we imagine exists in
Russia today.

There are several main charac-
ters in the story, the most im-
portant being Yurli Andreievich
Zhivago, a doctor of medicine, and
a man of great intellectual status,
Orphaned at an early age, Zhiv-
ago becomes independent early in
his life. Later, he is married to
Tonia, a girl he had known since
his childhood days, and they be-
came the parents of two children,
Sashenka and Masha. Throughout
the story Zhivago is constantly in—
volved in the Revolution—as a per-
son, a doctor, and as a prisoner.

The life and beliefs of each char-
acter are described, and each comes
into contact with most of the
persons in the story at one time
or another. Each individual part is
stressed as are the strong con-
victions and deep religious beliefs.
The relationships between charac-
ters are also greatly emphasized.

Because the author stresses his
characters and their beliefs, es—
pecially those of particular relig-
ious and political importance, it is
clear that Mr. Pasterna wants
his readers to see a different Rus-
sia from that which exists today.
Obviously this is the reason why
the top Soviet officials do not want
the book published for the demo-
cratic countries and the outside
world to read. Pasternak’s style
shows a great analytical quality in
many different aspects.

H onor’s Day

The first semester Honor’s Day
Program was held January 30,
1959. Because National Honor So-
ciety tapped their initiates earlier
in the year no additional members
were received. Beta Club tapped
Jo Wheeler and Jeanne Shaver,
juniors; and Tim Hanson, senior.
Masque and Gavel received three
new members who were Jeanie
Rich, junior and Mary Elizabeth
Wylie and Ed Marks, both seniors.
Awards were presented to the best
performers in the Senior Play.
The following received awards:
Kitty Craig, best actress; Dudley
Milward, best supporting actress;
Ed Marks and Joe Curry, best sup-
porting actors. Dotty Davis was
recognized for her good speech in
the Security Contest.

PERSONALITY PARADE

   
   

SARAH JANE BYERS

It is not enough to say that “we
are fortunate to have had Sarah
Jane Byers with us since kinder—
garten.” She is an indispensable
part of the Senior class and of
U-High. She has been an indus-
trious worker and a helpful par-
ticipant in all undertakings of the
class.

Sarah is very active in the school
function and organizations. She is
the Treasurer of the Senior class,
has been a member of Beta Club
for two years, vice president of
Little Choir, secretary of the Blee
Club, member of Double Trio, vice
president of Pep Club, prom court
attendant for two years, and mem-
ber of Y-teens.

Sarah has widened her know-
ledge with her two crusades
through Europe. It was during her
freshman year that she lived in
Rome, Italy with her family, and
this past summer she went with
the Deauville group to France.

Sarah likes pizza, French pastry,
and cheeseburgers and dislikes
self—centered and insincere people.

Sarah’s ideal boy has been de-
scribed as having blonde hair,
blue eyes, and being a UK soph-
omore. We can easily gather this is
a certain male by the name of
Ronnie Sanders.

As for her plans for the future,
she is planning to go to UK, and
hasn’t quite decided what she’ll
study.

We all can say that Sarah is
one of the most outstanding mem-
bers of the senior class, as well as
the type of person, whom you can
rely on and know that the job will
be done well. Sarah’s good conduct
I feel has become a habit with her,
which provides for an excellent
future. We wish you luck, Sarah,
no matter where you are or what
it is that you are doing!

TOMMY ADAMS

Tommy is a comparatively recent
addition to the school, since he
joined us in the seventh grade.
His career at U-High has been
most successful as he proved his

 

TORIMY ADARIS

great value to us in his first year
here when he, along with several
other members of the class, starred
in our spectacular play about a
trip to New York. Since then Tom-
my has become one of the leaders
of our class and has reached many
new heights.

Last year Tommy was President
of the Junior Class and a candi-
date for Boy’s State. In his Senior
year he was elected President of

tudent Council and more recently,
Vice President of the Glee Club. He
is a member of National Honor
Society, french Club, Beta Club,
and the Boy’s Group of the Glee
Club. Recently Tommy received an
appointment to Annapolis Naval
Academy.

Tommy’s interests are manifold;
he appears to like almost every-
thing. He is known to date a
variety of girls and is one of the
most agreeable members of our
class. He has not made up his
mind about attending Annapolis,
or about what he will study, but
considering his past record he
should continue to be a very suc—
cessful person.

Stu dent Government

The Student Government re-
cently dealt with a most unpleas-
ant situation—that of drag racing
in our high school parking lot.
This incident was very childish
and shows a streak of immaturity
on the part of those involved.

The persons involved in this
event now understand their wrong
in taking part in it and will, I am
sure, not let it happen again be-
cause they know that they have
endangered the lives of their fel-
low students.

I would like to call attention
to the fact that some persons
are still smoking in places where
it is not permitted. Anyone caught
smoking and reported to the Stu-
dent Government will be recom-
mended to the faculty for tem—
porary suspension.

Peep-Eye

It seems that our sweetheart girl
has already been taken. Bob’s ring
is proof of that.

Student Union food doesn’t seem
to appeal to a certain ole’ grad.
Or could it be something else be—
sides food?

Dotty, what is all the corres—
pondence with the “double Mike?”

Bethania has taken more inter-
est in household things lately. She
goes shopping for groceries all the
time!

Lynne can’t seem to make up her
mind between Transy or dear ole’
U—Hi. Pretty hard choice, after all
he is a U-Hi grad.

'58 pennies have gone out of
style for Linda.

The noon hour visits of old
grads from across the street are
becoming quite numerous. Helen,
Sara Jane, Linda E., Carolyn S,
and Bunny are still interested in
them.

Lee is another Sophomore girl
who has obtained a piece of brand
new jewelry. Some of these junior
boys just can’t seem to hold onto
their rings!

One of the cutest pairs we’ve
seen recently is that of John and
Nancy.

U. S. Marine Corps.

Sergeant Barber, the local Ma-
rine Corps Recruiter has an—
nounced a special program for high
school seniors interested in ful-
filling their military obligation
with the United States Marine
Corps.

A young man or woman gradu-
ating from high school in the
near future may enlist in the Ma-
rine Corps four months prior to
their graduating and therefore be-
come eligible for a high rate of
pay, and at the same time have
four months of their military ob-
ligation completed before they are
assigned to their first duty sta-
tion.

Sergeant Barber also stated that
at this time the Marine Corps is
offering these same high school
graduates a field within the avia-
tion counterpart of the Marines.
In connection with this aviation
program, any two or a group of
men or women enlisting together
will be assigned at the same duty
station and in face, could com-
plete training in the same unit.

If any young man or woman who
feel they are qualified for one of
the present Marine Corps Pro-
grams, and wish to apply or re-
ceive more definite information,
they should contact the Marine
Recruiting Office, 151 North Upper
Street, Lexington, Kentucky from
8 a. m. to 4:30 p. In. any weekday
or from 8 a. m. to 12 noon any
Saturday.
