:Speech Festival At
iRichmond Brings

Six Superiors

i The annual Regional Speech
fFestival at Richmond took place
ithis year on March 15. This event
,is one of the most important of
the year for University High stu-
dents, and they were well-repre-
sented in receiving six superior
ratings and nine excellent ratings

The students who received a
superior are Jim Coolsen, extempo—
raneous speaking; Frank Dickey

‘radio speaking; Mary Porter and
wludy Nuckols, poetry; Joe Miller

editorials; and Bill Warren, dis»
cussion. These students are eligible
for the State Festival to be held
in Lexington and are in prepara-
tion for this now.

Winning an excellent rating
were Elaine Irtz, radio speaking
Ben Howard, oratorical declama
tion; David Switzer and Bil‘
Harper, discussion; Barbara Faul-
coner, dramatic reading; Caroly
Mansfield, humorous monologue
Sammye Miller, editorials; ant
Barry Hayes and Betsy Gillis
poetry.

With help from Mrs. Miller and
Mr. Burkeen. U-Hi again per~

 

formed well in the festival.

 

Nancy Cowden was crowned
queen of the l9th Junior From on
April 8 in the Unnersity High
gymnasium. The annual motif. is
prcwntt-d by the juniors in honor
of the senior class. All planning:
including decorations and choosing
of the court and queen is done
by the juniors.

The,
music
rectcd

dance was furnished with
by the “Four Sounds” di~
by Dick \Vulker .

The theme of the prom was "A
Night in Hawaii." The juniors
decorated the gym in Hawaiian
style with a fountain, a \olcano,
leis, and various palm trees and
zolorful lanterns. The r'ueen's
chair was made of bamboo, and
the entire effect was refreshing.

The hichlic‘ht of the evening was
the Prom Court presentation. Mem-
bers of the court were Andy Nave,
Mike Cox, Lee DeJoe, William
Wood, Barbara Faulconer, Frank
Dickey. Melinda Stivers and Karl
Eldridge; all juniors. The senior
members were Judy Gross, Bob
Bostick. Linda Ethington, Bob
Shier, Missy Bender. John Sasman,
Carolyn Silvers. Bill Harkins. Ed
Sasman, president of the junior
class escorted the queen, Miss
Nancy Jean Cowden. Jim Faul-
coner and Susan Seagers were the
scroll and crown bearers.

This year the junior class con—
ducted the Prom slightly different
from preceeding years. The side
entrance to the gym was used as
the entrance with a coat checker
to take coats of the guests. A
white carpet was pulled by Jimmy
Faulconer and Charles Warren so
that the Prom Court. could walk
in on it. This lent a more formal
air to the affair. Pictures were
taken after the dance thus alloting
more time for the actual dance,
and eliminating unnecessary con-
fusion. Bill Turnbull presided as
master of ceremonies introducing
the court and guests.

Melinda Stivers held a caltalba
oarty before the dance for all
juniors and their dates at her
home. Many couples then ate din—
ner at the Coach House. After the
dance Lee DeJoe had a breakfast
at her home for seniors and
juniors. Jessica Paris held a slum-
her party for all juniors thus end-
ing the night of April 8~the night
of the Junior Prom.

Do You ReSpect Personal Property 0f Others?

Respect for the personal property of others is one of the most 1
important lessons ever learned. It is also a lesson which must]

be learned early in life to be successful or even acceptable.
Parents realize this fact; so, it is usually a part of the general
training of each individual. For this reason, it is assumed that
every person in high school has learned it. However, we find
this is not the case at all. It seems we have some people within

our own school who are doing things which will not only get:

them in trouble, but are extremely rude and unnecessary.

The problem is very serious; 21 great deal of damage has1
been done. But more important is the fact that we have people ‘
in our school who have not learned the difference between

right and wrong. This can lead to a life of misery and dis-
comfort.

The only solution is to find out who these people are; be—
cause if the reason for such activities as ruining coats is
jealously, a person must be taught that he cannot have every-
thing. If the reason is the thrill of destroying personal property
of others, this person needs a great deal of help to straighten
out his basic understandings. This person or group of people
should be reported to the school authorities; this is not “tattling”
or “squealing.” It is your duty as a student of U-Hi. The pur-
pose of this is to prevent trouble in the future, protect the school
and yourself, and most important, is to help the individual.

Are You Ready For The Pre-College Privilege?

A privilege is a special grant of right or immunity given to
individuals which can be taken away if not used properly. It is
something to be benefited from and not taken advantage of—to
be used constructively. Such a privilege has been given to the
senior students at University High and will go into effect
April 25.

The Pre—college Program is a program of independent study
and activity in preparation for college. This plan requires the
participant first to learn how to budget his time through instruc-
tion, and then to put this knowledge into practice by abiding
by the standards set up by the program.

Here is a chance for the senior to prove himself and to get a
“preview” of what college life will be like. It not only is a
privilege but the duty of these individuals to ssume an adult
attitude toward the program, for its results will affect more
than just those immediately concerned. Next year’s seniors will
share the same experience as a result of today’s success, and
other schools in the country will perhaps adopt a similar pre—
college program.

Much responsibility is presented along with the pleasure of
having this privilege so that each individual involved should be
an influencing factor to make this pre-college program a success!

lOId Graduate Never Die

1 It has been proved that former
students of University High are not
complete failures by the fact that
they have won certain awards and
participated in worthwhile events.
Bob Miller, graduate of ’56, was
awarded the Fulbright Scholarship
to Oxford University. He will study
for an advanced degree of Bachelor
of Letters at St. Antony's College
at Oxford. Miller at present is
attending Haverford College in
Pennsylvania and will graduate
in June. He is also a member of
Phi Beta Kappa at Haverford.
Another Miller, Freda to be
precise, recently won one of the
leading roles in the production of
“Letters to Lucerne,” which was
staged at Lindenwood College in
St. Charles, Missouri. Freda grad-
uated from University High in
1959, and is now a freshman at
Lindenwood College, planning to
major in speech and drama.
Mitchell Gail, who is now at—
tending Harvard College, won the
Harvard Andover Van Duved
Scholarship of $350 for the out-
standing freshman student at this
college. Mitchell graduated in ’59.
Tom Adams is on the Dean’s
List at the University of Virginia
in Charlottesville.

Hobby Show Is April 21

The 1960 Youth Hobby Show will
be held in the Convention Hall of
the Phoenix Hotel on Thursday,
April 21, according to an announce-
ment made by the Lexington Rotary
Club, which sponsors this annual
event for Lexington and Fayette
County girls and boys.

There are separate competitive
classes for senior high, junior high,
and grammar schools. There will
be a total of 66 cash prizes and
243 awards. Grand prizes for each
classification will be $50.00 govern-
ment bonds, with $25.00 govern-
ment bonds as prizes for the run—
ners-up in each class.

There will be 20 different di-
visions ranging from art craft to
water color painting, assuring a
classification for every type of
hobby.

Entry blanks will be available at
school offices and youth organiza-
tions.

To err is human; to cover it up
is, too.

Never curb a child’s spirit. You
can always move out of the neigh-
borhood.

Many men have acquired a great
deal of education just by reading
small print.

PERSONALITY

MARY JANE BENDER

Two years ago was a momentous
:vent for U-Hi, for Missy Bender
took the long step over the parking
lot chain, and became one of the
mast popular senior girls to have
taken that step. U-Hi’s gain was
Henry Clay's loss and Missy, Mary
Jane Maines Bender, admits that
she was an avid U-Hi fan before
she became a member of the clan.

Among Miss Bender‘s various
activities is the participation in
vocal music, which she does a
great deal because of her recog-
nized ability. Missy became a mem-
ber of “Little Choir" in tenth
grade, and participated in Double
Trio last year as well as this year.
She is a member of the 1960 All
State Chorus, and is singing solo
part in “Set Down Servant" on the
Spring Music Concert. Missy is a
Beta Cluber, and is always willing
to take responsibility for class or
school activities.

Missy likes almOSt everything,
but among her favorite joys of life
are bridge, food, people, cocker
spaniel dogs. “Bright”, and Greens—
boro, North Carolina. She dislikes
insincerity and “slow bidders".
Missy is a great one for enjoying
herself, others around her, and
just having a good time. Wherever
Missy is there is always fun and
laughter.

Although unsure of her major,
Missy plans to attend either Tran—
sylvania College or the University
of Kentucky. Best of luck, Miss—
go get 'em!

JOHN LUBY

For this issue of the U-Hi Lights,
the Personality Parade introduces
John Luby.

Since coming to U—Hi during his
sophomore year, John has par-
ticipated in many activities, both
in and out of school. He was presi—
dent of the sophomore class at
Lexington Catholic. John loves
baseball and plays on the Ameri—
can Legion team as well as our
own team. He was the “hustlin”
guard on our basketball team While
serving as captain last year and
co-captain this year. John has been
chosen Art Editor for the U—Hi
Lights and the Annual.

John has a wonderful sense of
humor and is alWays ready for
fun. He likes sport cars, especially
MG's, all sports, drawing, Jerry‘s,
and girls. His dislikes include in—
sincerity, “snobs". people who never
think of others’ feelings, and
homework.

John‘s friendliness and fun-lov-
ing manner help him to get along
well with everyone. He plans to
attend the University of Kentucky
for his college education and hopes
someday to be an architect. We
wish John the best of luck.

"Suddenly Last Summer" pro—

illness.

Taylor placed in 8 Mental hospital
because she knows too much about
the dead boy. Both actresses gave
excellent performances. which won
them Academy Award nominations
for the best performance by an
actress. Montgomery Clift, the
doctor, is mainly responsible for
discovering the basis of the trouble.
The plot is unraveled, problems
solved, truth discovered, and char-
acters developed—wall in the morbid
setting of the mental institution.
i The atmosphere is thoroughly con-
vincing because of the wretched-
ness of the “home” and the real-

“Suddenly Last Summer” is not

worth while experience.

cinnati, “Le Misanthrope" by Mo—‘

second year French class that went
, were Carolyn Stivers. Jeanie Rich,
land Dill Marr.

The actors and actresses were all
:French. This play was written in

ithe late 1700‘s, but the actors and .
‘ ‘ing able to go to Williams, and

actresses wore modern dress. The

jthemc was about a man rebeling

DILL

MARK

This month the stafi‘ of the U- V

Hi Lights has elected Dill Marr as
one of the members of the per-
sonality parade. Ever since she
walked into the sixth grade room
with that look of terror in her eyes.
she has become a great and in-
dispensable asset to the senior

‘ class.

Dill‘s friendly manner and inces—

isant giggles have helped her to

win many friends and admirers.
She is a responsible. person and

holds many offices. She is presi—

‘dent of Beta Club. vice-president

of Pep Club. secretary of Student
Council. and a member of the An—

_ nual Staff.

She has applied to several south.
ern colleges, but I think it would
help matters if Williams would
take just one girl.

Some of her dislikes are horse—
haters. insincerity, smoke, not be«

dull Saturday nights.
Some of her likes are Graddy.

successful blind dates, and horses.
horses, horses!

Dill is very definitely one of the
prettiest and most enjoyable mem-
bers of the senior class, and we
wish her all the luck in the world!
