"Mr. Royer, somebody has stolen the first page stories!" shouted Maureen Carlson '64.

"Hey, you, come back with my editor's cap!" cried John Gauger '64.

"Mr. Royer, will you please tell the copy readers to make their corrections in English!" Marta Riser '64, called out anxiously.

The scene of these anxious, exciting, and sometimes fearful cries was the Des Plaines Suburban Times office. The "print‑shop," as it is called by the staff, revealed a new group of journalists. This is the cub issue, written as a trial run by the journalism class.

Each spring the journalism class (or classes) puts out the entire issue of The Westerner, including the printing job. Under the supervision and sponsorship of Mr. Gerald Royer, the journalism class selects a temporary editor, assistant editor, and other positions that are held by regular staff members.

Next year's staff will be chosen from the journalism class of this year, and the work each student puts into the "cub" issue will help determine his position on next year's staff.

There were times when it appeared that the cub issue wouldn't make the deadline, but after much toil, it did.
