THE SPECTATOR 21 The Normal Herald would be much improved if it con- tained more ambitious stories. However, its general ap- pearance is good. The Commencement number of the Red and White shows that the school contains a great deal of talent both in drawing and writing. The literary material and the class pictures are appropriate for a Commencement number. The Power of the Cross, a poem in the Mountaineer, is especially worthy of mention. lt is very vivid, and shows careful preparation. We are glad to welcome back our old friends, the Dick- insonian and the Campus. The Commencement number of the Interlude is worthy of note. The original ideas carried out are excellent. The High School Student for May is a very interesting number. Altho the jokes are not original, they are well chosen. We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of the fol- lowing exchanges: The Dictum Est, Cascadillian, Pennant, Oak Leaves, Karux, Echo, Ogontz Mosaic, Radiator, Premier, Tattler, Purple and White, Yeatman Life, Talton- ian, State Collegian, High School Argus, Biograph, Hall Boy, F. and M. Weekly, Dickinsonian, Purple and Gold, Minor, Palmetto and the Pine, Herald, Windom Record, Critic, Amygdaloid, High School Record, M. P. S., Kiski- minetan, Academy Student, Junto, Masten Park Chronicle, and the M. H. S. Bugle.
