Pep Club Nets Over 400

The Pep Club made $448. 21 selling
programs at the tournament. The
sum of $2,240. 82 went to the Ken—
tucky Athletic Association from the
total of $2,689.03, leaving the Pep
Club over $400 clear profit.

Lee DeJoe's skill in the organiza-
tion, planning, and getting sellers
for the regional, district, and state
tournaments made this a success.

Jimmy Pyle was the top seller for
all of the games.

Seventh Grade Elects Officers

The seventh grade has just com-
pleted a unit on sound and has begun
a new unit on Kentucky. They re-
cently elected new class officers for

Tommy Roach, the secretary is
Suzanne Schapiro, and the two new
treasurers are Paul Mansfield and
Jennie Graves.

hold a dance at the school. The theme
is "April in Japan" and the dance will
be semi-formal. The dance will last
from 8 to 10:30 and records will fur-
nish the music. The dance is open
only to seventh through ninth graders.

The eighth grade tooka trip during
their study of the Civil War. Mr.
Gardner and Miss Lair, student
teacher, took a group of fifteen to
Henry Clay's home. Mr. Wise and
Mr. Steiden took fifteen to the Hunt
Morgan House.

The eighth grade is also preparing
a play which will be presented in con-
vocation at some future date. The

 Should U-High Students Be
Dismissed During the State
Tournament?

 

 

With the memories of the impetuous
week of state tournament still in the
minds of U-High students, there has
been much debate as to whether
school should be dismissed that week.

A short theme which polled the sen—
ior English class revealed that thir-
teen members thought U-High should
not have a vacation, thirteen thought
there should be one, and four were
uncommitted.

Those who thought there was no need
for a vacation felt that selling pro-
grams for the tournament was just an
excuse to get out of school. The
opinion was that choices should be
made—if the person chooses to sell
programs, thus missing school, he
has to suffer with extra work.

Because this paper happens to see
the other side, it will be discussed
more at length. In the tourney,
University High is involved in many
ways—location, student sellers, and
teacher officials; therefore, it would
seem to be of benefit to all concerned,
if school were dismissed on at least
the last two days of this hectic tour-
nament week.

The school is profiting from the
work the students do in selling the
programs. Since the school does
expect to make money by what these
students do, then why should the stu-
dents suffer by missing class? Why
should students pay the penalty which
many teachers give to those who are
selling programs? This happens
simply because teachers are upset
that the students are missing their
classes to sell programs.

Another most logical reason for
giving a two-day vacation is that lit-
tle is accomplished by either teach-
ers or students. Classes are riddled
by absences. Participation and work
by students are poor. Furthermore,
some teachers are working at the
tournament themselves and have to
find a replacement. Fatigue plagues
the classroom.

Purples Showed Their Colors
aw

At U—High‘s last game with Lafay-
ette, we saw many different things
which we liked. One was, of course,
the way our basketball team battled
the Generals. The team really looked
good. In talking with some of the
team members, we discovered their
frame of mind was that of victory
and an air of confidence; but at any
rate, the U-High Purples surely gave
those Generals a tough game. We
could never have attained this feat
against Lafayette without the good
coaching of Mr. Huffand Mr. Thorn-
ton.

Many thanks must be given to Mr.
Steiden for his work with the band
this year; but that is an editorial in
itself. We would like to praise those
people in the band who so well kept
the spirit circulating in our crowd.
In all sincerity, we have never heard
the National Anthem played as well
as that small group did.

Then, of course, we must thank all
the people who came to watch and
support our team. Many parents
have been loyal all through the sea-
son. These parents are to be praised
for their interest and support. The
whole U-High body seemed present
that Friday night, and they were yell-
ing for the team with pep and vigor.
We must say that the U-High spirit
certainly was present that night.

We shall never forget that game
because of the attitudes, pep, and
the team play. What a nice way to
end the season!

B. F.

This paper does not mean to advo—
cate dismissal of school merely to
give students a free day. The pur-
pose of halting classes would be to
prevent students from becoming days
behind in work because of preoccupa-
tion with the tournament. This seems
only fair if students are expected to
carry on the program selling.

Tardiness Presents Problems

Tardiness at U-High has brought
forth many different comments from
the faculty. The general opinion is
that it is a problem and should be
dealt with.

Mr. Gardner, Mr. Stofer, Mrs.
Osborne, and Dr. Porter had these
comments:

Mr. Gardner said that tardiness
interfered by taking up class time.
He also felt that there has been and
will continue to be little response to
efforts to control it.

"I'm very pessimistic about tardi-
ness; I don't think there is much we
can do about it. People are people.”

Mr. Stofer feltmuch the same way,
but he added that there is entirely
too much of it. He claimed to have
obtained results by lowering grades.
"When people get hit in the pocket
book or the report card, they begin
to produce the goods. ”

Mrs. Osborne thinks that a central
way of handling tardies would be ef-
fective. In her music program she
said that "frequently students stay
out for work in other classes, and
loiter in the halls. "

She felt that faculty as well as stu-
dents are responsible. "I think that
on the part of the faculty and students
the music program should be re-
garded as a definite class period. "
But she felt there had been adecided
improvement.

Dr. Porter had this to say about
first period tardiness: "I think they
(students) could be more regular. . .
it's just a question that we haven't
pushed very hard. "

He did, however, mention that the
tardiness from the lunch hour was
getting to be a "darn nuisance" and
that the girls' P.E. class has been
almost always five or ten minutes
late.

shirt dress, and Sarah Thompson the versatile cummerbund with skirt and

blouse.

Fashions Make the News

Among the many fashions of this
season that have shown their popu-
larity are short skirts, jumpers,
and culottes.

The short skirts and jumpers are
just-above-the—knee and look very
sporty in wool plaids. The culottes
are the same length, but the skirt
divides to make it more comfortable.
To top off this sporty outfit, wear
sleek new knee socks with a chain-
cable stitch.

With spring just around the corner,
there should be many new, attractive
outfits. Among these are the very
popular hill jackets. These jackets
are perfect for early spring weather.

Madras, like spring, is showing it-
self around U-High halls. The vari-
ous shades of blue and green seem to
be the favorites. Alongwithmadras
come the very popular straw bags.
They come in all shapes and sizes.
The bigger they are, the better.

With the Junior Prom coming, this
should turn out to be a fashion show
in itself. The most popular fabrics
of this season are organdy and chif—
fon.

Tennis Season Begins

With the possibility of getting new
tennis courts, the U-High tennis team
is ready to start another season.
This year's edition will be one of the
strongest tennis teams ever assem—
bled at U-High.

From last year's team, which suf-
fered only one defeat, six lettermen
are returning. Jim Coolsen, Mike
COX, Garland Barr, Buddy Bishop,
Wink Shier, and David Switzer will
lead the team in matches against
Bellevue, Berea Foundation, Frank—
lin County, Henry Clay, Louisville
Central, MMI, and others. Ellen
Clark is the member of the girls
team. This spring the team is plan-
ning to take two trips—one toCincin—
nati and one to Louisville.

Helping the team this year besides
Coach Huff will be Don Seabolt, a
student at UK. Mr. Seabolt assisted
the team last fall and, because of the
requests of everyone concerned, is
returning.

Years from now in the backs of fail-
ing memories of high School days will
sticka noted phrase of Mr. Gardner:
"This is a problem. "

Perhaps we will have recollections
of "careening" down the highway in
the driver education car. We will
recall his beaming smiles as he
awaits the opportunity to express
another of his witticisms.

The school smoke rs will recall this
saying: "Far be it from me to inter-
fere with students who rush outdoors
to inhale the fresh clean air through
a long white filter. "

Everyone will remember the Gard-
ner retort, "Sacre inon Dieu. "

These memories will bring back the
fun and vitality that Mr. Gardner
represents.

 

 How to Sell Programs

Now that the tournaments are over
for the year, let's take a look at the
four "best ways” for selling pro-
grams.

One way to sell many programs is
to barge in on a person who is doing
well at apartieular spot. This saves
searching for the best place.

After you‘ve found a good position,
find a customer. Hang on to his
coattails, halting his progress until
he agrees to buya program, although
it is a little hard on the customer's
clothes.

If you are lucky enough to get a po-
sition by an entrance, block it. Let
no man pass until he buys aprogram.
The latecomers will have to slow
down long enough to purchase your
goods, even if it means missing their
game. This saves a lot of running.

Can you drive a hard bargain?
Well, tell your customers that there
is a big sale on programs for one
night only, and you can give them the
program for the low price of 10¢.
This may be hard on your conscience,
but it sure saves heckling over the
high prices of programs.

These are " sure-fire" ways of sell-
ing programs. Of course, if you're
energetic, you can stand all night
asking politely if game-goers would
like to buy a program. But who's
energetic?

Remember when:

Mrs. Evans lost her skirt.

Girls didn't wear eye make-up.
Mrs. Cocanougher had long hair.
Bill Turnbull was short.

Betsy Gillis wore glasses.
Barbara and Frank didn't go together.
You were in first grade.

Last year's seniors were here.
Girls wore plastic clothes pins.
We had roller skating parties.
We went to Camp Daniel Boone.
Boys wore white bucks.

Girls wore V-neck sweaters.
Jessica's hair was natural.
