12 THE SPECTATOR Exchanges s, 'EHE exchanges are slow 'I 'n f ' AX in making their ap- I 'H pearance this year.

We . I suggest to the tardy ones that they get their papers out on time, even tho' it be at a slight sacrince. lt is the paper that is on time that is appreciated. Tardiness, once acquired, is likely to be the result every month, and such a state is bad, to say the least. We are glad to see a number of old exchanges and we also welcome some new ones. Many of the old exchanges have not yet arrived, but we expect them within a few days. Among the first papers we received were the familiar and ever welcome Dickinsonian and Indiana Normal Herald. Both these papers are admirably arranged except for their advertisements on the front page. Why not let that page blank P The Holyoke Herald is a well arranged paper and con- tains a clever poem, The Life Boat. The Houghton High School Amygdaloid has numerous good contributions but the arrangement of the athletic notes is poor. The Winchester High School Recorder is a praiseworthy paper but shows the lack of contributors. The College Student and the Weekly of Franklin and Marshall College are both newsy editions. The former is a monthly in the form of a magazine. The Bradford High School Courant is a well arranged paper but its stories are rather loose. We look for future improvement along this line. I

THE SPECTATOR Il time to round into shape for a championship game, as was displayed by the remarkable spirit exhibited in the Shady- side Academy game, which was virtually a victory for High 31001. 1 is Q Q The mass meeting held in the auditorium on the night before the Shadyside game for the purpose of instilling en- thusiasim into the hopes of High School rooters, was the most successful and the most largely attended meeting of its kind ever held in the history of the school. The real High School spirit came to the front at one of the most critical stages in our athletic record, and was the means by which new life was put into the hearts of the players and student- body. To the Alumni, who were the back-bone of this meet- ieg, the student-body extends its grateful thanks, for their work in, practically, defeating Shadyside will ever be re- membered as a tribute to their Alma Nlater. 'F l 'I The Lecture Course as planned for the coming season will, undoubtedly, prove the greatest success yet. lt com- prises three lectures, three concerts and two entertainmentsg all high class attractions, that have been characteristic of the standard set by former courses.
