voiume Five The Cgffglatgf Nineteen-Eight Editorials A This is the fifth volume of the 'CoRReLAroR. The Class of 1904 issued the first volume, which was very interesting and well worthy of praise. The two books which followed were much improved and were a great credit to the classes which published them. However good were the preceding annuals, last yearis book was the crowning success. lt was much larger, contained many new features, and was certainly an immense success. Volume five, while modeled after the preceding volumes, presents some new features intended to well fulfill the purpose of a high school annual-to give, in years to come, a complete account of the affairs of University High School during one of its epochs. The meaning of the title CORRELAToR, ' although it has been explained in pre- ceding voluimes, should be explained to those who do not know its relation to the school. We are taught that all branches of study in this school are closely united. Latin, mathematics, history and shop all have a close connection with each other, and each is a practical advantage in studying all the rest. In short, the under- lying principle of the whole scheme of study in our school is correlation. Nothing is more natural than that this annual should signify the most important principle of the school. - The past year has been a remarkable one in all branches of student activities. lt has witnessed the formation of many new student clubs. The Press Club. Blaine Club, Camera Club, Mandolin Club, Sketch Club and the Sophomore Debating Club have all been started since school opened last fall. Successful school dramatics have gone into history. The monthly school literary magazine has been successfully started. Although all of the clubs which were started were not successful, the p-opu- larity and the success of those which have lived through their first year prove that the proverbial U. High spirit is not confined to athletics al-one. VV here there has been a need for an organ-ization,some energetic students have set to work and filled that need. In nearly every case the support of the entire student body was instantly given, the thing which is needed for the success of any student enter- p-rise. Vlfhere it has been seen that the organization was not needed, the backers of those clubs did not waste their time and efforts to bring about the impossibility of continuing the organization, but immediately lent their efforts to make a suc- cess of some other organization which filled a real need in the school. Although the Press Club was not continued this year, there is no reason that it should not 20

Volume Five The Correlator Nineteen-Eight be made a success next year, now that we have an additional publication in the school. There are enough members of the publication 'boards of the Daily, Midway, and Correlator to make such an organization be a real fa-ctor in the improvement of the literary efforts of the school. The dramatics have been the crowning success of the year. All the time and efforts put in by the 'members of the class of 1908 for the past two years have not been without some gain. The plays which were presented with so much success this year would probably not have been given had not the Dramatics Committee o-f last year succeeded in interesting the deans and the whole student body in the possibilities of this branch of student activities. The foundation has been laid this year for the most successful dramatic organization of any high school in the country and may be improved upon from year to year. ' VVith the appearance of the Midway , the hopes of those who have wished for a school literary publication have been fulnllfe-d. Since the formation of the 'W'eekly', into the Daily, there has been no opportunity for the publishing of the many excellent literary efforts of the school. The Junior Class of last year sought to fill this need by the publication of a monthly paper, but was not success- ful in the attempt until the latter part of this year. judging by the instant success of the paper, the delay was well worth while, for no school in the country can boast of a better literary publication. VVhen one pauses to think of the many successful activities in which the stud-ents of the University High School engage, he has reason to be proud of his connection with th-at school. There are not many, if any, preparatory schools in the country which publis-h a daily newspaper, a monthly literary magazine, and a year-book of college caliber. The U -Hi Club is the first successful student club of any high school in the country. The minor organizations of the school are all on a level with the same organizations of the better colleges. In the future, as in the past, may the students of U. High continue to take the initiative among the schools of the country. By our actions may we continue to prove so successfully that in high school not everything is learned in text books, but that outside of the curriculum those things are learned which tend to make a man ready for a suc- cessful career after his school days are past. I On the whole, the athletics of the past year have been very successful. Al- though we have had no championship teams the improvements of athletics in general have more than made up for the failure to have gained glory. There are several of these improvements which are particularly noticeable. 21 0
