Lassen Advocate – 26 October 1944. New High School Paper to Appear Soon. A new high school paper to be called the “Cub Bark” is being issued at the Lassen Union High School this week under the sponsorship of the Journalism class. The new project is an attempt to take advantage of the high school students’ interest in news writing and will come out once a week. The traditional “Grizzly Growler,” parent of the smaller and more energetic publication, will assume new dignity by more careful edition plus the advantage of being printed in the Advocate print shop instead of being a mimeographed paper.
“The new “Growler” will endeavor to support itself by advertising. It is the intention of the administration of the paper to make it stand on its own worth of over five hundred readers and potential customers rather than on a donation basis by generous merchants. The business experience given to the students who publish is felt to be an invaluable and good education.”
