THE CUB This year the Boyertown School News or Cub , as it has been known for the past two years, is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. In keeping with its policy of service, this year's staff has continued with suc- cess the Scholastic polls. In addition, the paper has a new feature, an editorial column entitled The Cub Speaks to remind the students of current school problems. 1946 has also brought the return of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conference held annually in New York City. This conference was cancelled last year because of crowded hotel conditions. In addition there is the district P.S.P.A. conference, held this year at Mahanoy City. These conferences are always well attended by the B. H. S. journalists. The credit for this year's paper, one of the best in its twenty-five year history goes to the staif, headed by editor-in-chief Joan Grofe, and her capable assist- ants, with Miss Violet White as adviser, in absence of Mr. Harry I. Gilbert. The reporters get together to make the newspaper deadline: R. Rhoads, J. Schoenly, M. Neiman, S. McNey. A few of the editors of the Cub , B.

Even though the 1945 yearbook was distributed in July, the staff feels it was a big success. We received from the N. S. P. A., an All American Yearbook Critical Service, a First Class Honor Rating. The Scholastic Editor, a monthly edition for the benefit of school yearbooks and newspapers, was so greatly impressed with our unique Way of handling our 1945 yearbook theme, the Pennsylvania Dutch, that they have asked for an article on the planning and procedure of this excellent high school annual. The staff this year has chosen as their theme the Circus . They are under the capable guidance of Miss Margaret C. Schmeelk, faculty adviser, and Betty Landis, editor-in-chief. Mr. Harry I. Gilbert, who is now on leave of absence serving with the Red Cross on Saipan, has been temporarily replaced by Miss Schmeelk as faculty adviser. Much of the success of the 1945 yearbook was through Miss Schmeelk,s faithful Work as Literary adviser. During the summer of 1945 the editorial stai spent many tedious hours of work on the layout of the 1946 Bear. Through this procedure the pupils now have their books. The staff is confident that the 1946 Bear will be better and more enjoyable than any previous yearbook. E241

This organization has much to do with the different programs throughout the school. One of their main programs is the Big Sister movement, which is to help the new students iind their way around and to acquaint them with the rules and customs of our school. The Usher's League and the Student Council are among the other important movements. This group met every two weeks, during which time a speaker was introduced, and programs were planned. This group of people is planning to become either teachers or nurses. F. T. A. . , The Future Teachers of America F. T. A. cific-ers. B.
