INTRODUCING THIS is the CORRELATOR '42 This is the Correlator, the official year- book of the High School of the University of Chicago. The Correlator has appeared every year since l90+l, published by the current L'-High Seniors. In 1939 the High School organization underwent a major revolution. The Sub-Freshman year, which had regu- larly followed the sixth year of grammar school, was divided into seventh and eighth grades, and these two combined with the Freshmen and Sophomores of the old high school to form the new. Then the eleventh and twelfth grades were combined with the Freshmen and Sophomores of the University proper to form the Four Year College. This was the Chicago l'lan, and the first two years of the newly-created F.Y.C. were divorced from their beloved U-High and transferred away. two city blocks and miles in educa- tional theory. The administrational division did not at once extend to the customs of the school. Regular activities such as Student Council, newspaper, and Girls' and Boys' Clubs were split into two sections, one for the eleventh and twelfth grades and one for the new high school. lint these organizations have not been extended into the last two years of F.Y.C. Athletic activities have stood out like a sore thumb on the smooth new high school- junior college system. ln order to continue interscholastic competition, the last two years of C-High and the first two of F.Y.C. must combine again. This explains the presence in the Correlator of a special section devoted to athletics. For certain customs have been only gradually aban- doned by tradition-loving U-Highers. This year a twelfth grade graduation was held, probably for the last time. The twelfth grade Correlator is also appearing, really a sophomore book. In line with the increased division between high school and four year college, this year's book has been divided into those sections also. lt may be the last six-year Correlator, and we hope that it will express the new L'-High-Four Year College spirit.
