To carry out this objective, the members of the U and I staff planned the organization of the book and then worked cooperatively with the members of the student body to make this yearbook truly repre- sentative of life at University High School. With the exception of the senior panels and three pictures in the sports section, all of the pictures were taken, developed, and printed by our high school stu- dents. The illustrations, the cover, the plan, the adver- tisements, the articles, the format, the choosing of the engravers and the printers — all represent the work of students of our high school. However, we wish to thank Mr. Higgs, Mr. Drummond, Miss McHarry, and Mrs. Hess for their helpful guidance and construc- tive criticism, for without their assistance this year- book would not have been possible. We sincerely hope that you derive enjoyment in reading the 1943 U and I. Pacje Two DEDICATION We dedicate, with pride, the 1943 U and I to those members of the University High School faculty and to those fellow stu- dents and alumni who are now in the service of our country.

In October, we had a class picnic at Roger Kraehenbuehl's farm near St. Joseph. At the Christmas assembly program and at the December meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association, we presented a French folk dance. In the Spring, we assisted the Freshman Class in sponsoring a party for the members of our classes and for their guests. We have had a very profitable and pleasurable year ; now we are looking forward to being members of the Freshman Class next year.

Enough boys were out to form six teams. The tournament ended with a tie between the Indians coached by Roger Tobin and the Jay Hawks under the instruction of Roger Little. Each team won four games and lost one. Tennis was a popular sport among the freshmen and sopho- mores, and each had a tournament. The freshman victor was Rob- ert Fessler ; Kent Hobart proved his ability in the Sophomore Class. Wrestling is a sport in which every boy can participate. Whether he is large or small, there is a place for him. The weights ranged from 85 pounds to 105 pounds. Congratulations to our wrestling champions : 85 pounds George Greaves 95 pounds Edward Deam 105 pounds Joseph Ambrose 125 pounds Peter Moyer 135 pounds John Snyder 145 pounds Roger Tobin 155 pounds John Adams 165 pounds Richard Mooney Forty-seven boys participated in a double elimination basket- ball tournament. Willard Jackson's "Flying Tigers" defeated the "Kooties" for the championship in an overtime game by the score of 16 to 14. ^ Pjge Sixty Girls' Intramurals The curriculum at University High School includes an extensive physical education, recreational, and intramural program. This year nearlv every girl in school participated in intramurals, either as a player or as an official. The first girls' intramural activity of the year was a soccer tour- nament, played on a held near the Woman's gymnasium. This activity, sponsored by Jeanne Ford, was won by the juniors under the leadership of Janet Gordon. The indoor season started with a volleyball tournament man- aged by Barbara Emlv. Grace Welsh's senior team edged out the juniors for first place in this tournament. Shortly after the semester examinations, Managers Suzanne Appelle and Margaret McOuaid organized a basketball tournament. The captains of the class teams were: Barbara Emly, seniors; Shir- lev Roberts, juniors; Martha Dodds, sophomores; and Elinor Case, freshmen. The seniors emerged victorious in this tournament. In an all-school basketball tournament played after the regular tourna- ment, Shirley Howard's team won first honors. In the spring several activities were sponsored. Joan Kaufman managed the touch-football tournament. Shirley Howard won the ping-pong tournament managed by Arlene Castle. Dorothy Wright managed the girls' bowling tournament, while Barbara Miller han- dled the mixed bowling tournament. Dorothy Price, Helen An- thony, and Grace Welsh, respectively, managed tennis, badminton, and softball. Shirley Howard was the general manager of girls' intramurals; Miss Andrews was the faculty sponsor. Fage Sixty-one Roger Tobin, captain ; Jugbut, the mascot ; Mr. Alstrom, coach. Jugbut, our mascot, has an important part in the ceremony enacted just before each basketball game. While the teams are still practicing, he stands nonchalantly in the center of the Moor. At University High's first game of the County Tourna- ment, Captain Roger Tobin and Coach Alstrom were asked to pose with the mascot, and the photographer obtained the above picture. Although we do not profess any supernatural powers for Jugbut, we think that his presence has added enthusiasm and interest to the pre-game period. Page Sixty-tivo THE CAMP LIBRARY Page Sixty-three A Rainy Day in A Country Hotel I came upon the lobby. Ii was low and spacious; the air, layered with white cigarette smoke. Silent, non-smiling men lounged in deep overstuffed leather chairs. A few flicked the ashes of a cigar or a cigar- ette unconsciously into cheap upright ash trays, while scouring the widespread newspapers. A loquacious group of younger men centered their attention on a radio. The doors closed behind me with a sigh, cut- ting off all the impressions of the crowded room. 1 paused at the door, smiling, and then began to think of breakfast. — Judith Mover. Love She remembered the way he had caressed her blond locks before he went to his office that morning. Lying there on the couch, she recalled his sweetly spoken words of parting. She lazily dozed off into a reverie of moments alone with him. Suddenly the thud of the evening paper striking the porch floor reached her ears. She went hastily out to the porch to get it. When she brought it in, she tenderly laid it by his chair. It wouldn't be long now until he arrived. At last the moment had come. She detected his familiar footsteps approach- ing. As his hand closed with a firm grip on the doorknob, she sprang to meet him with a bark of joy. — Mark Ackerman. Marking Day Misery God bless my little teachers, And bless their hearts of gold : But the marks they always give me Leave me very, very cold ! Red is a very pretty color — That 1 will admit ; But it doesn't match my report book— That's why I have a fit ! I study once a month or so — I really should get by ; Lots of dopes get high grades, And gosh, they don't even try ! School is a cinch, 1 used to think, Until my marks Came out in pink. -Gloria Oakks. Page Sixty-four A Street in the Rain The street sign on the corner of Forty-Second Street and Broadway swung gently to and fro with the beat of the autumn rain. Except for the steady creaking of the sign and the splash of rain on the brick pavement, the street was strangely quiet. It was four o'clock in the morning, and the city was just waking up. A solitary taxi cruised aimlessly around the corner and was enveloped by the rapidly gathering mist. Out of a little side alley came a yawning and frowzy Italian. His coat was drawn up around his neck, and his hat had been pulled far down over his forehead to escape the force of the downpour. He lit a soggy cigarette and stumbled down the "Great White Way." — Anne Noble. The Storm Bending down because of the strength of it, the poplars bowed themselves before the driving rain. The leaves, as they were lashed together, made queer swishing sounds which resembled the rustling of a silk skirt. Suddenly a flash of lightning danced brilliantly across the sky, as if it were running from the clap of thunder that closely followed it, rumbling as it went on and on into space, until one could no longer distinguish between it and the wind. Another flash dashed madly after the escaping thunder. Thunder pursued the frenzied flare. Lightning followed thunder. Thunder followed lightning — a perpetual game of tag. The time was not night; neither was it day, but rather the time between night and day when all things had a certain foreboding manner. No sounds could be heard but those of the driving rain swishing through the leaves ; the wind mourn- fully gliding in and out between every small crevice ; the occasional thunder claps ; and the sucking of my boots in the thick, miry mud. By whistling, I tried to break away from the eerie feeling that enveloped everything. Between claps of thunder, the tones came clearly through the hushed silence. At first I was so startled that I was sure that it was not my whistle. But whose could it be, if it were not mine? I was alone ; or, at least, I thought so. Just then, piercing the stillness with a shrill whistle, came the slow, melancholy strains of what I recognized to be an old French melody. It wasn't I who was whistling,- -or was it? — Miriam Workman. c^^ Paye Sixty-five Post-War Problems Machiavelli lias said: "Be it known, then, thai there are two ways of contending, one is in accordance with the law s, the other by force." The world is changing. Our knowledge of the uni- verse is changing; our political, economic and social insti- tutions must change. We can bring about these changes by the peaceful procedures of parliamentary government or we can rise in violent revolt against existing institu- tions. This will certainly he a foremost problem alter the present conflict is over. There are those who desire to bring about certain changes, some of them selfish and others public, by use of violence. However, we have proven to a sufficient degree in our democratic countries that the public desire may be obtained through the power of the vole. We are able to establish laws based upon the principles of social justice to provide for the weal public. The peace may be determined by power of arms or at a democratic conference table. Upon one point, however, let me give warning: the people must be represented or demo- cratic practices are all in vain. Our motives in establishing peace must lie to pro- vide for the general welfare. We shall all have our individual responsibility in making democracy work. We must practice it in our daily life in home, school, and community. By this method we may meet the problems of a changing world and settle them for the good of all. Force will only revert to the bloodshed and suffering which we so earnestly want to destroy. — Charts Gray. The Brotherhood of Man vs. Survival of the Fittest All through the history of man, and even before, force and treachery have been the mainstays in any situation. Brotherhood of man has been little more than a lofty ideal, while survival of the fittest has been the natural law of the animals, in which group man is included. Survival of the fittest means elimination by force of the weaker by the stronger. Brotherhood of man means the equality anil right of all human beings to exist. These two are opposites and, therefore, only one pattern may be fol- lowed. In order for a people to be truly civilized, the social pattern of civilization must be followed, the brotherhood of man. In the light of these two alternatives, we and our ancestors must still be beasts, for we have followed the social pattern of the wild animal of the forest. Machiavelli once wrote, "Be it known, then, that there are two ways of con- tending, one in accordance with the laws, the other by force ; the first of which is proper to men, the second to beasts." Perhaps in the future, men will learn to conduct themselves in the ways proper to men, and the brotherhood of man will become a reality. — Richard Thomas. Page Sixty six Le Clare De Lune It is dusk. The quiet gray blanket of night falls silently, covering the dark death-still hollow. Only the black knife-like crests cut through this blanket, point sky- %/ / \ % ward like majestic castles. Checkerboard fields fade into yy, \ r&L a semi-gray and silver. Softly comes a distant echo of music which fills one's eyes with tears of utter, complete emotion. This is a prelude to the rising moon that ap- proaches like a snail, creeping softly, slowly, but steadily. Adult shadows are replaced by tiny child-like ones as the light rises higher, climbing the blue-black ladder of Para- dise. Silver drifts down with moonbeams, resting in every crevice. Increasing in tempo, the prelude fades away only to be occupied by a heart-touched, rippling melody which hurries the silver lily across Eden, pro- claiming twilight is near. Then, stealing like a jaguar upon its prey, comes the maiden, Twilight, lifting off the blanket of night and in its stead places a smile that streaks the heavens with radiantly colored hues, which are but a reflection of her gorgeous gown, consisting of the sun, soon replacing twilight. Now, the valley dons a new cloak; a cloak of tenderly arrayed loveliness — Morning; as slowly as it came, the music echoes away, distancing itself; fading till another eve. — Mildred Erickson. Five Minute Hobbies Bored with your life? Try a few of these recipes for a five minute vacation. First, take one pliable personality, shake until well unkinked. add a dash of humor and stand well back. Be you a musician and tired of the same old ditties like "Home, Sweet Home", "Annie Laurie", and "Keep the Home Fires Burning", sit down at the piano, and with the music, play several of them backwards. Add a few trills of your own, and you may be the cause of a new musical craze. Could you kick yourself for eternally doing the same things in the same old way? Try floating through the house like Katie Hepburn, singing like Bonnie Baker, or sitting like Lynn Fontaine. But remember, this is strictly for solitary moments: don't slink out of the front door of University High with "I tank ah go home" ! If you're ashamed of your limited vocabulary, thumb through the dictionary ten minutes each night before you go to bed, ( this is the best time to remember ftings) and amaze your classmates with new words. If all else fails, sit down and just think. That is the quickest way to fall asleep. — Grace Welsh. <^V^ Page Sixty-seven Desert Scene The season of rain was long overdue. Blazing sun- light beat pitilessly down upon the market place. In the noonday heat the square which was always so crowded with swarthy Arabs on camel back, veiled women, bearded merchants squatting on rugs, and other inhabitants of the tiny village was strangely silent. The dry desert wind billowed and swirled the dust in hot, choking clouds. .Miniature sand dunes marked the grave of each shriveled vegetable in the little garden plots, and even the date palm's hardy green fronds had become brown and brittle. As countless others had done in the ageless centuries that had gone before, a small child dipped a bucket into the now almost empty well in the center of the market. On the horizon a dark cloud appeared and grew until it covered the sky with a black curtain. Lightning Hashed and the deluge began. In the mosque, bells were rung and happy faces appeared in the windows of the villagers' huts. The rains had come at last. — L,aura Benner. To Spring Breezes Old dreary Winter, you must leave for bed. The zephyr breezes flutter through the trees To bring the season of humming bees, Who make that sweet of which the world is fed. Go on thou breezes, Springtime must be led On through the world from rivers to the seas. O breeze, you tell the world your mysteries Of all the future and the gallant dead. Bright Spring is here, and her reward, at last. Yes, you are bringing flowers into bloom To make the wrongs done here on earth seem old As that winter which soon will be all past. You can never bring us the thought of doom. O zephyr breezes, lovely tales you hold. — Kathryn Causey. t \^~ Page Sixty-eight We Ptelent the. Paino*vi . . . BONGART PHARMACY 125 S.
