sisting of seventy-two pages, will be
the largest annual in recent years.
1955 was the last year that elemen-
tary student pictures were included
in the annual.

To change the "Senior Book" into
an annual of the whole school, indi-
vidual pictures of everyone will be

 What‘s BeerLDifferent
A_b_out This Year?

This year has been an unusual one,
especially for the seniors. As the
year comes to an end this year‘s
class leaves with both thanks and
regrets for what has happened during
the year.

It has been a year of changes—at.

leastsome of the tradition which has
been criticized was broken. This
is good; it was an opportunity for the
school to think for itself.

As the days at U-High pass on, I
can't help trying to pass on to other
classes what this year’s class wishes
now had been done on the part of both
students and faculty.

For the majority, it was a year of
trying to do too much. The faculty
doesn‘t see it this way, but there
seemed to be a combination of too
many subjects and too many activi—
ties. It would seem much better to
spread this intense studying over a
period of four years instead of cram-
ming it into the last six weeks of the
senior year, which are the busiest
anyway. Better planning by students
and faculty could take care of this.

It is also suggested that if time for
clubs to meet isn't going to be given
during school hours, then the stu—
dents should be told this at the first
of school. Byknowing this, perhaps
some person will take the initiative
to get them operating successfully.

Of course, there are the usual
"suggestions" to study as you go
along, read more, etc.; but these
probably won't be accepted any more
than the rest of this has.

Teachers‘ Sayings
Mr. Stofer: By the same token. . .
Mr. Gardner: This is a probleml

Mrs. Whitehead: There will be the
next ten pages for homework, and,
Ialmost forgot, a little quiz tomor-
row.

Mrs. Miller: Class, before we start,
please get rid of all gum.

New Club Members Are F cal Point
of More Club Service for 1961-62

At an Honor's Convocation held
Thursday, May 4, the U-High clubs
tapped their new members. These
new members will become an impor-
tant part of the clubs for the 1961-62
school year.

The new club members should defi-
nitely be informed, and the old mem-
bers reminded, of the ideals and
purposes of their clubs. Some of
our clubs did notaccomplish as much
this year as theycould have. There
were many school services left un-
done that could have been performed
by one or more of the clubs.

We should start the next school
yearwithwell—organized clubs. Re—
sponsible leaders should be given
full cooperation in order to make
these clubs run smoothly and effi-
ciently. The clubs should take on
new duties and decide exactly what
they want to accomplish during the
year.

 If They Had It to DO Over

 

When asked what changes they
would make if they could do over
their years at University High, the
seniors answered:

Susanne Phelps: I would have taken
summer school and I wouldn't
have taken five subjects this year.

Burton Miward: Iwould buy Mr.
Kemper new equipment to work
with.

Barbara Faulconer: I would have
spent more time on studies.

Sammy Adams: I would have played
four years of high school basket-
, .ball.

Jessica Paris: I would have learned
to study— like in elementary
school.

Jim Coolsen said nothing.

Bill Turnbull: I would have finished
my Driver's Training workbook.

Melinda Stive rs: Iwould have star ted
studying earlier.

Lynne Barrett: I would have studied
more, would not have started
smoking, and I would have brought
my lunch to school every day.

Gerard Gerhard: I would have done
better.

Elaine O'Hara: I'd fix up the girls'
restroom, give Mr. Gardner
some chalk, and fix the radio in
Mr. Stofer‘s room.

Betsy Ann Gillis

Betsy Ann Gillis has for thirteen
years been a well-liked individual at
U—High. This is due to her constant
interest, participation, and friendli—
ness among her class and friends.

Betsy may seem to be a little re-
strained in her sense of humor and
personality probably due to the fact
that Betsy weighs in her mind the
pro's and con‘s of situations. Betsy
is slow to hurt anyone because she
enjoys the friendship of many. She
seems to have a way with people,
for Betsy has few, if any, enemies.

Betsy enjoys a good stimulating
game of bridge but dislikes people
who open with less than twelve points.
Betsy, for the last two years has
shown a particular interest in Jim
Coolsen. She also likes contempo—
rary cards and chocolate cake.

BetSy dislikes trite expressions
and is especially opposed to disor-
ganization. Betsy will go to Centre
College to study English.

“.~ 1‘ r :- Vil.’ r1 ’
ma: para Ann raulconer

Barbara AnnE‘aulconer enrolled at
University School in kindergarten
and has since been around to spark
the class with her noted witticisms.
She can be associated in nearly every
activity in school that “as occurred
throughout the years.

Barbara has taken particular inte r-
est in class activities, musical
groups, and Frank. The lattercon-
sumes most of her time. Among
her favorite interests are dancing,
taking part in lively discussions,
Mr. Gardner, and vacations to
North Carolina. She dislikes tardi-
ness, people who beat around the
bush, and people who stick to the
middle of the road in arguments or
discussions.

Barbara's enthusiasm for life in
general is abundant. This has been
shown in her active participation in
school life at U—High. She plans to
continue this active life along both
educational and social lines at UK.

Cafeteria Comments

Mrs. Brooks, University School
cafeteria manager, has the busy job
of preparingamenu for four hundred
people a day.

Mrs. Brooks commented that ham-
burgers, hot dogs, potato chips, and
doughnuts were the most popular
items with University School stu—
dents.

She added that, on the average, the
elementary students chose more nu-
tritional lunches than the high school
students. Also, boys select more
balanced lunches than girls at Uni—
versity School.

When asked why our cafeteria pri-
ces are higher than public school
prices, Mrs. Brooks replied that
our cafeteria is self—supporting and
must pay for its operating expenses.
Because the University School cafe-
teria is run on a small scale, the
prices must be higher to meet opera-
ting costs.

Mrs. Brooks came to the Univer-
sity School cafeteria from the dietetic
department of the U. S. Public Health
Service Hospital. She welcomes
constructive criticism that will help
to improve our cafeteria.

It was from 1860 to 1864.

How to Choose a Good Universgy

 

In choosing a good university, be
sure to do so according to your own
personal ambitions, desires, and
needs. Try to see yourself in the
vocation of your choice fifteen years
from now and choose the school ac-
cordingly.

In selecting a university, know ex-
actly what you are looking for and
always visit the school under consid—
eration.

Of course finances and location of
the university are important, so con-
sider the terrific range in price and
location of each type of university.

Most universities can be classified
in four different categories. In de—
ciding on your particular type of uni—
versity, classify the college of your
interest rather than the university
as a whole.

 

Every absurdity has a champion to
defend it. —Oliver Goldsmith
