l-HS little journal, the second edition of the Cub to be printed, is pub- lished in an attempt to convey to you, the students of University High, some idea of the excellent work in literature, art, and athletics that is daily being done in your midst. This publication, a radical departure from the ordinary type of high school periodical, is compiled with three ideals in mindg namely, that the Cub shall contain only the best work in literature and art that the school is capable of producing, that all con- tributions be accepted on a competitive basis, giving' every member of the student body an equal chance to see their work in printg and that the journal be made as nearly self-supporting as possible, without the aid of advertisements. Don't you think that a paper of this kind is more truly representative of the school than one in which merely cartoons and athletic events are featured? Upon this type of periodical, as they are published by almost all the high schools around us, the student body loses approximately 2002, per copy. Surely it is better to cut down the number of photographs and cartoons in our paper rather than have such a state of affairs exist. Besides, the Student Council has so many other ways to spend the small amount in the treasury each term that it should seem but logical to make the Cub break as nearly even as possible. And about the athletic write-ups. Athletic success is a great thing, and one which keeps up enthusiasm to the top-notch, but still, one doesn't feel very happy, even if he does make the team, if he Hunks in his studies. To reverse the statement, one who fails to have success in the athletic way can still console himself with the fact that his marks in scholarship are all that they should be. ln a few words, the big ideal, i11 coming to school is not to make your block letter, but to get a little book-learninf Donlt you think, therefore, that is a bit more natural to make efforts towards literary perfection constitute the greater part of the Cub,'l rather than accounts of eiorts towards athletic perfection?
