Congratulations to the senio:s

fe. son, a newspaper reporter; and
Winnie Mauser, as Miss Preen, Mr.
Whiteside’s nurse.

The play, a three-act comedy,
was given on Friday and Saturday

a huge success, and we appreciate

School Spirit Does Get Results

School spirit is one of the main factors in making our school
a success. Because U-Hi is so small, it is important that every
person take an active interest in the activities in which we par-
ticipate. With participation comes a feeling of loyalty and pride
which can be obtained in no other manner.

Very few people can constantly take the honor and glory for
the good things that happen. Often it is the person that is in the
corner that has contributed most. It is the people who do these
things for the school, not for personal praise, that means so
much. Yet, this person feels pride that he helped to make some-
thing a success.

High school days are too short not to make the most of them.
Many U-Hi students will look back and wish that they had
taken an active part in the extracurricicular activities as well as
studied a little more.

As the year gets well under way, we urge you to attend the
basketball games. Then not only attend, but give the team
your fullest support. We all have a great deal of respect for
the team, but without strong backing, the team is nothing. This
year let’s really get out and work to make our team and other

groups a big success!

Teenagers Read More Than Adults

How much are our teenagers reading? This is the question
the adults of the U.S. are asking.

Scholastic magazine estimates through a recent comparison
of youth and grownups that teenagers are actually reading four
times as much as are adults. Not only are teenagers applying
themselves, but they are reading worthwhile material. It is
very seldom that one finds the high school age group reading a
comic book. This age seems to prefer: (I) newspapers, (2)
magazines, and (3) books for reading.

Newspapers are read by teenagers more than any form of lit-
erature, reveal two nationwide surveys in which more than 25,-
000 high school students participated. The number of news—
paper readers corresponds almost exactly to the number of
teenage TV watchers. The Scholastic magazines’ youth poll
showed that 78.1 per cent of 10,149 yOung people in 7th through
12th grade spent time reading the paper (not including the
comic page) the day before. Also the Purdue Opinion Panel
of Purdue University reports after polling 15,000 students
that the majority manage 15 to 30 minutes of newspaper read-
ing per day; 34 per cent of which read editorials daily.

These facts prove that the students tested, supposedly the
average teenager, read much more than the average grownup.
Let this be an answer to the wondering adult, and let us con-
tinue to uphold this fine record by reading more!

E CAREFUL!

 

 

 

 

From the Other Side Of the Fence

Mr. Stofer
Perfection is a state difficult to

attain in most fields of endeavor,

education is no exception.

Schools, as the main arm of ed—
ucation, have difficulty in main-
taining standards in view of
changing values and times.

Our school is a laboratory school
and in View of this it must be
constantly searching for new and
more challenging methods. It can-
not, because of the very nature of
the school, fall into what might
be termed a traditional pattern.

The greatest single change or
improvement that could come to
our school would be a geniune ef-
fort on the part of all people in
our school to support its policies,
and back all of its undertakings.

Support means honest and gen-
uine effort not just taken parti-
cipation.

Status for school is status for
self!

Mr. Gardner

The greatest single improvement
that could be made at U—Hi is an
awareness of individual honesty
on the part of the student as he
deals with his lessons. The giving
or receiving of help needs to be
analyzed to make sure that it will
create new learning and insight
rather than just prepare a lesson
aSSignment.

A Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

I would like to commend those
individuals who have shown “true”
school spirit. I mean the sincere de-
sire to support the team, school,
and its cause. We can all attend
the games, make posters, and sell
candy; but what is the real pur-
pose behind this effort? Do we
really want to further the school’s
cause or just see “how much is in
it for me?” The latter student is
not the type of school-builder we
want; a U-Hi patriot should be
loyal, truthfully enthusiastic and
an asset to the school. School
spirit is found not only in the form
of encouragement and co-opera-
tion. With regard to your school

 

spirit, which individual are you?

Mr. Burkeen

It is difficult to suggest the one
most needed improvement at the
University School. The following is
only an attempt to point out a
significant need:

An awareness on the part of all
concerned of the tremendous need
for accepting responsibility (per-
sonal) at self-discipline when it
comes to classwork and participa-
tion in worthwhile activities. To
me, this is the final goal or ob-
jective in securing an education.
Mrs. Cocanougher.

Perhaps the greatest single im-
provement that could be effected
by the students would be an a-
wareness of the losses that in-class
talking incurs. Needless conversa-
tions distract the learner and the
teacher, so consequently the pace
of the lesson distintegrates into
a rut of boredom. Most people
would agree that hearing others’
opinions on the topic at hand is
stimulating; but having a constant
undertone of irrelevant comments
is indeed deadening.

Weigh the choices. Your decision
could mean increased knowledge
in a shorter length of time and
more real opportunity to have
your ideas heard by others. The

choice is yours.

 

Student Government Is
Responsibility of All

Student Government is a privi-
lege granted to us by Dr. Sasman
and the faculty. It is each in-
dividual’s responsibility to show
that he is capable of using this
privilege properly and obtaining
the utmost benefit from it.

The representatives of the Sen—
ior High Student Government are
tenth grade, Anne McLean and
Garland Barr; eleventh grade, Lee
DeJoe and Mike Cox; and twelfth
grade, Libby Lou Honerkamp and

Jack Russell. The president is
Bobby Reeves; vice president,
Bobby Bostick; and secretary,
Carolyn Mansfield.

Shier Steers Seniors

When school opened this Sep-
tember the seniors elected their
class officers. They are Bob Shier,
president; John Sasman, vice
president; Jeanne Shaves, secre-
tary; and Bob Reeves. treasurer.

Later in September we elected
an annual staff with Rufus Lisle
as editor, and Judy Gross as as-
sistant editor. With the help of
these two people we hope to pro-
duce a particularly good year book.

Other projects which concern
the seniors are the Seni’r Play,
which was presented October 30
and 31 and the Senior Dance,
which was given December 12.

It Could Be You

A survey by the Gilbert Youth
Research Company has determined
“the ideal boy" that American
teenaged girls are seeking. These
are the qualifications:

He must be a tall, blue-eyed
blond with a crew cut. He prefers
conventional language to slang and
jive talk, and he doesn’t smoke or
drink. He wears chino pants when
the occasion calls for sports wear,
but a conservative suit with white
shirt and tie on formal occasions.
And, the nationwide survey re-
ports, the ideal boy friend is “the
life~of—the-party” type but, more
important, he‘s sincere. Most of
the girls require a fellow who earns
his own money, and who gets the
highest grades in school.

I feel that if we can locate a
fellow who satisfies the require—
ments called for by the teenaged
girls of the nation, it would be a
shame to let him go steady. My
cynicism is p: obably shared by the
12 percent who said it was all
right to have an insincere boy
friend as long as he was “smooth."
I also have some respect for the 15
percent who agreed with a prac-
tical Birmingham girl who stated,
“What’s his allowance?”

We divided ourselves into four
groups which would compete in
the sale of magazines. The groups
that sold the most magazines were
taken to dinner at Chef Sears by
the losing teams.

The high point man in the sale
was Joe Goodwin. He received a
prize and also a great deal of re—
spect from his classmates.

The Junior class is now making
plans for the Junior Prom which
will take place this spring. The
theme, band, and decorations are
being consideed now, and with
complete support of the whole jun-
ior class We expect to put on a
wonderful prom!

U-High Band Is
On the Upswing

The Junior and Senior High
School Bands have gotten off to
an enthusiastic start under the
excellent direction of Mr. William
Steiden.

The Junior High band consists
of twenty-six members: these are
from the 8th and 9th grades ex—
cept for one person, each from
the 5th, 6th. and 7th grades. In
the Junior High hand there are
5 trumpets. 4 clairnets. 4 percus-
sions, 3 flutes, 3 saxophones, 2
trombones, 2 oboes, and 1 French

cert music.

Next year we expect to have a
40 piece Senior High band. No
one older than the 7th and 8th

grade level will be able to join

a bass ensemble composed of
seven boys who played for convoca-
tion.

There are two boys in the Sen-
ior High band learning to play new
instruments; they are Mike Cox
tbassi and Bill Harper (baritonel.
Soon they will join the brass quar-
tet and thus it will become a sex—
tet. The members of the brass
group are William Wood. trum-
pet; Glen Shepherd. trumpet;
Steve Price, trumpet: Frank Dick-
ey, trombone: and Joe Miller.

Mr. Stciden has done a wonder-
ful job with both his Junior High
and Senior High ands. In several
years it is hoped that University
High will have a full 50 piece orch-
estra. We hope you will enjoy the
efforts of both the bands this
year as much as the members are

PERSONALITY PARADE

CAROLYN STIVERS

Carolyn Silvers has been an out—
standing member of our class since
she entered U-Hi in the fifth
grade. Scholastically, she has made
a good recer for herself, being
initiated into National Honor So-
ciety last year.

She participates in all school ac-
tivities and has been a cheerleader
for four years. This year, she is
vice president of National Honor
Society, president of the French
Club, reporter for Little Choir,
anl she holds several other re-
sponsible positions.

Carolyn was a member of the
prom court last year. She has
dated a great number of boys, and
he considers a good date a boy
who is courteous and respectful,
yet one who can really have a good
time. She. is usually in the three
o’clock rush, wanting to get home
and get her letter. This proves that
her interests are spread over a
wide area.

Her favorite color is blue. and
because of her eyes, it looks beauti-
ful on her. She loves to eat, espec-
ially at Jerry‘s or Frisch‘s, and
hates to see any food go to waste.

Carolyn is an avid bridge fan,
and like most senior girls, will
drop everything for a quick game,
which usually lavts all niaht.

Her busy schedule, her fun—lov-
ing personality, and her occasion-
ally serious moments make her a
great girl and a big asset to the
senior class. Her college plans are
indefinite at the moment, but Hol-
lins seems to be holding: her at-
tention. We know that Carolyn
will be a big success wherever
she goes!

BOBBY BOSTICK

For the U-Hi Light’s first issue,
the Personalin Parade has Chosen
Benjamin Robert Bostick, better
.rnown as Bobby. Bobby came to
U-Hi last year from Lafayette, and
since then has been an important
member of the senior class.

For the past two years, Bobby
has participated in many activities
and has been a vital part in many
organizations. and has done much
for people outside of school. Bobby
was manager of the football team
at Lafayette, and was chosen king
of the Valentine Prom. He has
been very active in scouting and
was the manage: of a minor league
baseball team this past summer. He
is a member of the basketball team
and was on the baseball team last
year. No one will ever forget Bob-
by‘s marvelous job in the senior
play as the “Expressman.”

Bobby has a wonderful sense of
humor and an outstanding person-
ality. He is easy to talk with, and
is very enjoyable to find in a
crowd. His pet peeves seem to be
Lee DeJoe and Bill Harkins. He
likes girls, dates, and especially
drive—in movies.

Bobby‘s plans for the future in—
clude a college education at the
University of Kentucky. He also
wants to get his military training
out of the way, after which he
will settle down and be in the
Public Relations field. Best of luck
in the years to come, Bobby!

Grandma has a caller
Who had a timid heart

When they sat together
They sat this

brother had a boy friend

Who was bashful and shy.

Do you think he ever kissed her?
He wouldn‘t even try.

Whenever daughter's steady calls
He greets her with a kiss.

And when they sit together,
They situpcloselikethis.

Circle pins. scarabs. and silver
charm braclets are the “big hit"
as they were last year. Marx Manly
has a darling scarab bar pin and
the girls who went to Europe this
summer brought back some really
cute charms.

Big fur collars are the most ex-
citing news in the fashion world
right now. Jeanie. Carolyn M.. and
Kate have them on their school
coats.

The pleated scotch plaid skirts
with buckles along the side are
just as adorable as ever. How do
you like Melinda‘s. Judy‘s, and
Dill’s red ones and Missy’s blue
one? They look precious with the
round-collared shirts.

New do-it-yourself fad—knitting
Shetland sweaters. Many sopho—
more girls just can’t seem to put
that knitting needle down. These
sweaters will make perfect Christ-
mas presents. All the Shetland
sweaters are so colorful this year.
Carolyn S. has a huge lavender
mohair pull-over which is simply
“lush” and Nancy, your blue cardi-
gan is dreamy.

Slacks and Bermuda shorts are
still “tops" as are madras cumber-
bunds. Jeanne S.’s got a pair of
really sharp plaid slacks. New this
year madras wool Bermudas. And
who doesn't think madras any-
thing is a “winner"?

I can‘t wait to see all the divine
dresses for the holidays—how
about you?

That’s all for now; see you next
issue.

Movie Review

One of the better movies appear-
ing in Lexington was “Pillow Talk"
starring Doris Day and Rock Hud-
son. Doris Day portrays a chic,
young interior decorator who falls
in love with the handsome hunk of
Texas—Rock Hudson~really the
insolent romeo who shares her
party line. As the plot continues,
the disguised Hudson succeeds in
stealing Miss Day away from his
best friend and her devoted em-
ployer, played by Tony Randall.
The picture has its hilarious spots,
as well as lovely settings and su—
perb photography. For an enter—
taining and enjoyable movie, see
“Pillow Talk."

New Teachers at U-High this year are Mr. Robert Cocanougher,
Core and English; MiSS Viola O’Bryant, sixth grade; Mr. Joe Wise,
eighth grade; and Mr. Richard Stofer, Jr., social studies.

PERSONALITY PARADE

NANCY COWDEN

U—Hi was gifted when Nancy
Cowden came to attend in the first
grade. Nancy has been a very im-
portant member of the present
senior class. Her freshman year
Nan was the Junior High Editor of
the U—Hi Lights, her sophomore
year she was vice president of her
class and in this. her senior year is
president of Little Choir. She is
also Assistant Make~Up Editor of
the U-Hi Lights, a Student Coun—
cil representative for her class, and
Circulation Manager of the An—
nual. She participated in the Sen-
or Play and has been an excellent
member of Little Choir for four
years. Nancy is also very interested
in Y-Teens of which she is vice
president.

Nancy can be seen frequently in
the halls of U-Hi with one of her
very good friends, whom we all
know as “Abner.” If you see a
white Impala cruising around Lex-
ington with a good looking bru-
nette driving. you can bet it’s
Nan. She loves the food at Jerry’s
and Frisch‘s, and is one of their
best patrons.

Nancy has only a couple of pet
peeves, but she sure is dogmatic
about them. Nancy does not like
to drive her family’s gray Cadillac
and it is doubtful that you will
ever see her in it. Nancy also does
not enjoy being with insincere
people. Nan is known at U-Hi for
her willingness to help people. She
has a special knack for under—
standing others and for helping
them. If ever a “true blue” friend
is needed, Nancy is you best bet.

Nan has been noted for her ex-
cellent taste in clothes and looking
smart in them, too. She went to
France this summer along with the
tour and had, perhaps, the best
time of her life and is anxious to
go again.

U-Hi will lose a wonderful asset
when Nancy Cowden leaves.

 

 

JOHN S ASMAN

The seniors are proud to say that
John Erwin Sasman is a member
of the senior class. Although he
has been here for only two years,
he has made quite a name for
himself, as well as making many,
many friends.

Last year John had a leading
role in the Speech Contest play,
“Arsenic and Old Lace," and took
an active part in the festivals of
Speech and Music. He was a mem-
ber of the prom court and is now
a valuable member of the basket—
ball team.

This year Jo
