Greeting The cub is the offspring of the bear: the University School is the youngest development of the School of Education at the University of California. Cubs grow up, they became large and powerful, so the University School, founded in weakness in the tragic days of IQI4, shall grow into a great educational insti- tution whence shall go forth enthusiastic disciples of art, literature, and science to spread enlightenment throughout our sunny land. The cub suggests a warm and woolly creature, full of animal spirits, frolic- some, jolly, and gay, a not altogether unfitting suggestion of the carefree high school boy or girl who, midst a war-torn world and a high cost of living, takes life jauntily and has for the most part a pretty good time. Such is the nature of a cub, the seriousness of the bear comes all too soon. The Cub, with a capital C , is the journal that records the doings of the young cubs that roam this institution. Vfhen the cubs have jinks or win a boat race, the cub reporters manufacture copy . Wfhen a good story is writ- ten by some promising young cub, the reporter gets it and hands it on to the bigger cub in the editorial chair. Some of the cubs all dressed up troop off to studios and soon thereafter pictures arrive. Step by step the journal is made and the last day of school sees its distribution. Success to it! The Cub goes to press this time mid the jar of hammer and axe, the crash-bang of wrench on pipe, the chug-chug of motor truck delivering building material. Our new wing is nearing completion, the wing that is to give us two new class rooms, a library study-hall, and a most up to date laboratory. It is going to be an immense help to us all. The library will have a chance to ex- pand, the science people will have more adequate facilities, the drawing depart- ment will be able to have its entire building, while all the literary departments will get either more room or rooms more closely related. To the student body the basement with its shower baths and lockers will be welcome, leading, we hope, to better athletics and some systematic physical culture for girls as well as boys. All this spells progress for the University School. There are other indications. A parent-teachers' association, meeting regularly the hrst Monday of each month, has been formed to further the best interests of the school. The University of California has honored the school by visits from President W'heeler, Dean Bar- rows, Miss Everest, and Professors Holway, Kemp, Richardson, Rugh, and Stratton. Superintendent Barker's interest in our school is unabated. To the Board of Education of the City of Oakland we are grateful for the new addition to our building, the improvement of our facilities and the warm personal interest and encouragement of its individual members. To the faculty and student body the principal feels more heartfelt gratitude than he can adequately express. It was almost worth while being ill to realize so fully the loyalty and loving kindness of so many good people in this world. May the New Year bring to all of us the happiness of successful work together. May prosperity attend the activities of the University Cubs in general, and in particular the journalistic activity known among us as our school paper, The Cub. HERBERT LEE, Principal.
