HAPPY
NEW YEAR

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL—LEXINGTON KENTUCKY, DECEMBER 20, 1960-——NO. 2

Annual

The new A Capella Choir will make its debut on the Christmas Program. It consists of the Little Choir
and the Boys Group. They will sing two new numbers.

Barbara F aulconer, Candidate for Snow Queen;

Betsy Gillis, Recipient of D.A.R. Award

Barbara Faulconer was chosen
as U-High’s contestant in the
Snow Queen contest. The contest
consists of one representative from
each school and is sponsored by
the Jaycees. The contestants ap-
pear on various radio and tele-
vision programs throughout the
contest. The winner will be the
girl who receives the most votes
from ballots that will appear in
the paper. The winner will visit
children’s hospitals and partici-
pate in various Christmas activi-
ties.

Senior Dance Held
December 17 in Gym

On December 17 the senior class
held their annual Christmas Dance
in the gym with music furnished
by the Satellites. The semi-formal
dance started at 9 and ended at
12. The decorations including the
Christmas tree and other greenery
furnished a Yuletide spirit and
mood. A sleigh was the center of
attraction with boxes of toys and
presents. Many alumni were at
the dance along with the U—High
students. Approximately two hun-
dred people attended.

 

Betsy Ann Gillis has been chos-
en to be the recipient of the
DAB. Good Citizenship award.
She was selected on the basis
of citizenship, leadership, schol-
arship, and patriotism. Betsy will
write a theme concerning good
citizenship; it will be entered in a
state contest; and the best theme
will be ch0sen. Betsy has gone to
U-High for thirteen years and has
been active in many clubs. She is
a member of Little Choir, Beta
Club, Masque and Gavel, and Na-
tional Honor Society.

A
very
old and
well used
idea is this
but it seems
to portray the
Xmas thought so
we would keep on with it.
We don’t know why, but
a story like this always
keeps the reader’s attention
so that he just has to go ahead
reading it, clear down to the very
bitter,
bitter,
bitter,
end of it.

Psychology Trip Leaves
Impression 011 Class

Blank stares and iodine—covered
bodies, crippled limbs, and swollen
features; these are just a few of
the sights that greeted us at Ken-
tucky Training Home. And this
one, a child? No, a twenty-one
year old woman who had reached
the physical and mental ability of
a two year old. The woman to my
right was pulling at her hair and
incessantly rocking back and forth.

The members of Mr. Conner’s
psychology class were having a
truly unusual field trip. This was
a trip that left a deep and lasting
impression on us all.

The purpose of this trip was to
see and study the patients at Ken—
tucky Training Home, an institu-
tion for mentally retarded people.

Few of the patients here will
ever be discharged. They cannot
live a normal life. The majority
of the patients were committed,
legally or voluntarily, as children,
and will probably die there.

There was a question-discussion
period led by Mr. Nixon, the insti—
tution’s only psychologist. The
class was shocked to learn that
there was only one doctor, one
psychologist, and five trained
nurses to care for 1,200 patients.
Volunteers are scarce.

 

 

Christmas Program To Be Presented Today

The annual Chiistmas program
of the Unive1sity High School will
be presented this afternoon under
the direction of Mrs. Fred Os-
borne. The Glee Club program will
open with selections which are
traditional at U-High. Following
these numbers will be songs by the
Little Choir, the Boys‘ Group, the
Junior High Glee Club, and the A
Cappella Choir. The Glee Club
11111 close the program with two
songs.

The school orchestra under the
direction of Mr. William Steiden
will also perform.

The A Cappella Choir, 21 new
group this year, is a welcome addi-
tion to the music department. It
is composed of the Little Choir
and the Boys' Group and will un-
doubtedly continue the high stand-
ards of performance to which
U—High audiences have become
accustomed.

The Christmas program always
is one of special interest to both
parents and students. The choice
of selections as well as the quality
of the singing contribute not only
to a pleasant performance but are
a fitting beginning to the holiday
season.

Little Choir Makes
Three Appearances

The Little Choir has made three
public appearances this year. The
next appearance was on October
13, at the Medical Auxiliary meet-
inf. On the following day the Lit-
tle Choir and the Boys’ Group
sang for the ladies at the Arnold
Prichard Home.

Their third was to the Hunt-
Morgan Home, Oct. 18, to furnish
Christmas music for an Open
House. The Boys’ Group sang with
them as they did last year.

 

The K e n t u c k y Legislature
awards the hospital $2.33 per day
per person for all expenses, which
is the second lowest amount of
any state in the Union. Because of
so very little money, poor public
relations, and being greately un-
der—staffed, these people may nev-
er get the help, love and under—
standing they so desperately need.

Mental retardation rarely kills,
yet it is one of the most horrible
handicaps known to man. Won’t
you help? To volunteer your serv-
ices contact Kentucky Training
Home, Frankfort, Kentucky.

Does Tradition Help or Hinder?

With the arrival of the Christmas season we can easily evi-
dence the influence of tradition in our lives at home, in public,
and in school life. It is recognized at this time because of its
outward prevalence in Christmas customs, but actually tradi-
tion is dominant upon life throughout the year. We build much
of our lives upon a sometimes unsteady foundation of tradition.
It is fine and necessary to have some pattern to use in things we
do—as long as we do not always accept old ways of doing things
as the best means. Let’s examine some problems students at
U-High have because the majority is unwilling to try new ways
which possibly would be better.

For example, the Student Council in its re-organization has
been dealing with changes to which students object because
they have not been done in the past. Many cannot accept the
idea of a citizenship grade simply because it is a new idea for
U-High. They fear that the change will be bad for them.

In planning dances, classes usually have problems occurring
from what the previous class has done. Many people think that
it should be handled exactly as it was done the last year. How
can new ideas result from attitudes like these?

The annual staff in trying to find new ideas for the annual
encounters many class members who want the annual to do a

repeat of the previous years. These people make it difficult

for a staff that recognizes faults of the past annuals to produce
a better one.

These examples are just a small sample. There are very few
things in school life that are so perfect that no altering is needed
from year to year. B. C.

This is the Christmas Spirit

MERRY CHRISTMAS! This hearty greeting will be heard
from now until Christmas. Christmas is a bright happy time of
the year when one lets his imagination and giving run wild.
People busy themselves in the buying of presents for friends,
relatives, the milkman, and the paperboy. People practice for
church choirs, plays concerning Christmas, and Christmas carol-
ing. Bibles are gotten out and the birth of Jesus Christ is read
to both young and old alike. Friends whom you haven’t seen
in months drop in to exchange the Christmas spirit while drink-
ing a cup of eggnog and eating various Christmas cakes and
cookies. Later someone will start the singing of Christmas
carols and finally after exhausting the songs and your voice,
it is time to go prepare for Santa’s visit and Christmas dinners.
Christmas is a gay, joyous time when love toward others seems
at its peak. This year take in all your senses the spirit and
mood of Christmas and try spreading the spirit yourself.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! B. F.

Read This Before It’s Too Late

Tuberculosis is everybody’s busi-
ness. It can strike anyone at any—
time. The only way you ean tell
whether or not you have T.B. be-
fore it is too late is by taking a
tuberculin test or a chest X-ray.
If TB. is discovered, the best place
to go for treatment is a hospital,
for there you can receive medical
care and at the same time protect
your family and friends. Although
there is no known cure yet, a per-
son may be rehabilitated and lead
a normal active life again. T.B.
CAN be prevented if more people
become interested in it and are
willing to help fight it, and if liv-

 

The

 

ing conditions and general health
is raised.

TB. is the greatest killer among
chronic infectious diseases. In
1958 over 12,000 persons died of
tuberculosis and in 1959 about
11,500 persons died. The drive
against this disease is maintained
solely by contributions from the
citizens of the United States, and
goes to the voluntary organizations
fighting T.B. These agencies work

on the local, state, and national
levels. Remember, your money is
the only thing which supports the
fight against T.B.!

 Twas The Day Before Vacation

Twas the day before vacation
And all through the halls
Not a creature was studying,
Not even Wall.

Stofer was locked up

All safe in his cell.
Becalming the Seniors,
Giving them
When out in the street
There rose such a clatter,
Gardner sprang to his feet
To see what was the matter.
The cars were lined up

In the street with care,
Waiting for Hal and

Lee to get there.

Paris in her Corvette,

And Holman in his Jag
Sped out to Jerry’s

For a quick little drag.
Then what to his wondering
Eyes should appear

But a little green car

And Barbara so dear.

With a little old driver

So lively and quick,

He knew in a moment

It must be Frank.

More rapid than eagles
Coley did run,

Chasing poor Susan

Out in the sun.

 

 

Freddy and Susanne,

Karl and Lee.

Directed the pack.

Taking the lead.

‘ As he drew in his head
And was turning around.
Down the street Mrs. Cocanougher
, Came with a bound.

EWhat a sight to behold,
"She was dressed all in pink,
jHer clothes were covered
iWith pencil and ink.

5A bundle of books

, She had flung on her back.
3 She looked like a teacher
Just opening her pack.
Ellen’s droll little mouth
Was drawn up like a bow.
, And powder on her chin
Was as White as the snow.
The stump of a cigarette
She held tight in her teeth,
And the smoke it encircled
Her head like a wreath.
Roy spoke not a word

But went straight to his work
VTO finish his driving
=And leave with a jerk.
,The grounds were deserted
1 As he drove out of sight
1T0 the parties for all,

And to all a good night.

Winning Circle
by Sammy Adams

The University Purples A and B
basketball teams are on their way!
Between the two they have com-
piled an 8 and 3 win-loss record.

In the opening game of the sea-
son the mighty Purples defeated
the Catholic Knights by a score
of 46-44. Karl Eldridge and Rob—
ert Walker were high point men
with 15 and 10 points respectively.
The B team also won with a “come
from behind effort."

In the second game of the sea—
son the Purples rolled over Rosen-
wald-Dunbar by 56-36. Eldridge
led the effort with 17 points and
Buddy Bishop was close behind

with 12. The “baby Purples” won

their game by 31-21. Bruce Davis
was high point man with 12.

The third contest of the season
was a rather disappointing one.
U-Hi was defeated by Bourbon Co.
45-37. Although the A team lost,
the B team won their game 37-29.

U-Hi was soon on the winning
track again as they rolled over
Midway 52-38 to complete their
third win in four outings. The B
team came out on top in their
game 38-29.

The next game was a hard-
fought loss for the Purples. They
were downed by Henry Clay, the
fifth team in the state, 73-46. The
B team also lost. The Purples dis—
played a desire to win in this
game, but Henry Clay was just too
much.

The Henry Clay loss seemed to
put a sting in the Purples, as they
once again were on the winning
track. This time they beat George-
Georgetown Garth 74-66. Karl
Eldridge put on a terrific show by
netting 31 points.

Juniors Profit $800

The junior class held its annual
magazine sale during October,
making $800 in profit.

The class was divided into four
teams, the team captains being
Cathy Maxson, Joe Miller, Ben
Howard, and Phyllis Wall. Cathy
Maxson’s team, which sold the
most subscriptions, was treated to
a steak dinner at the Holiday Inn.

Anne McLean lead the class in
individual subscriptions, winning
a transistor radio for her efforts.
Others receiving prizes were David
Reeves, a suitcase; Cathy Maxson,
a pen and pencil set; Pat Witt, a
pen and pencil set; and Robert
Walker, a blanket.

Pins for selling $100 or more in
subscriptions were given to Andy
Armstrong, Jeanne Miles, and
Phyllis Wall.

The proceeds of the sale will be
used for prom expenses and other
junior activities.

 

Eldridge puts it in anyway. Karl fires for two of his 31 points in
U-High’s game with Georgetown. The final score was U-High 74,

Georgetown 66.

Junior High Basketball

This year the Junior High Pur-
ples are having a tough time bas-
ketball wise. They have a 0—5
standing but hope to win the next
game. So far they have played
Morton, Lexington Jr., Athens,
Lexington Catholic and Garth.

The starters for the Morton
game were Andy Williams, Cleve
Gambill, Bill Ready, Sam Brown,
and Mike Reynolds. For the Lex-
ington Jr. game the starters were
Noel Hall, Andy Williams, Mike
Reynolds. Bill Ready and Sam
Brown. The starters for the Ath-
ens game were Hall, Williams,
Reynolds, Ready, and Brown. For
the Lexington Catholic game Pyle,
Williams, Cowden, Nuckols, and
Ready. In the Garth game Pyle,
Williams, Stokes, Reynolds, and
Ready started.

Psychology Trip

(Continued from Page 1)

The patients are divided into
four intelligence groups: 1. The
clinical patients are those who
have physical handicaps as well as
being retarded. 2. The custodials.
The I.Q. of these people is so low
it cannot be measured. 3. The
trainables. These people can be
taught to feed and dress them-
selves. 4. The educables. They are
the most advanced patients, with
I.Q.’s from fifty to seventy who
can be trained in manual labor
and are given some elementary
education.
