of the old days was the Naval cadets. This unit was somewhat on the order of the R.O.T.C., only the boys wore the regular naval uni- forms and practiced on Lake lNIer- ritt. The Daily U-N-I was at this period, a weekly paper, and was only introduced as a daily in the year 1924. The Cub began in 1914 as a semi-annual magazine. It was changed later to an annual and then to the magazine which we have today, the quarterly, Cub Tracks. The honor group, another sub- sidiary organization, is also of re- cent date. This group is composed of those people who have high stan- dard of scholarship as well as citi- zenship. The qualifications of the students who apply for member- ship and the privileges to be grant- ed, are determined by the honor board, consisting of an appointed student chairman and a faculty and student committee. The point system gives an award at graduation to all students tak- ing part in the numerous activities of the senior high school. At this time all who have received the specified number of points dur- ing the previous three years are al- lowed to sign their names in the point system book. This signing is done at the senior assembly held just before the graduation exer- cises at the end of the semester. Since the erection of the new building, many groups have been added to the list of activities. At the present time there are some twenty clubs and societies in the senior high school. Besides these, we also have our athletic teams, the R.O.T.C. and the junior and senior high orchestras. At the present time all of these numerous groups and organiza- tions are so closely bound together by common ties of loyalty, and are all working toward the one main purpose, the betterment of Uni- versity high school, to such an ex- tent, that they are not unlike the units in a factory that assist in the manufacturing and assembling of a machine. The goal of this co-opera- tion is a school, perfect in spirit, in its system of government, and above all in its standards of scholar- ship and citizenship. To the reader it may seem that at present we have realized the ideal for which we are striving, but we know that at some future date, when some writer tries to put the history of our school govern- ment into print, still greater improvement will by then have been made. As our school govern- ment has been in the past, so will it be in the future, a process by which we reach out toward the ideals of usefulness and service. . 1 N 20
