THE MAGNET 15 Exchanges We wish to extend a hearty welcome to all our Exchanges for the year IgIi-12. Owing to the many duties connected with the first few weeks of school, we did not publish an October number of our paper, but we hope to make up for this by the quality of the numbers to come. We invite criti- cism, we want it, we expect it, and we will return it when called for. The Gazette (Lynn Classical High). Your cover design is excellent. Why not have a few more headings for your various departments? From your Class Notes we judge class spirit runs high amongst you. Is the school spirit as strong? The Premier (Durfee High School, Fall River). The essay, ‘Some Advice for Freshmen,” is excellent, but we would advise a classes to read it. Youridea of a Freshman number is a novel one and appears to be a success. The Student's Review (Northampton High School). The arrangement of your paper might beimproved. Don’t jump from one subject to another and then back again. Greylock Echo (Adams High). Your Commencement numb er is excel- lent. Having a Class Will is a good idea. Yours was certainly humorous. The Recorder (Springfield High Schools). Your plan of dividing the publishing of your paper among the three High Schools is a good one. We wish you all possible success. The Grotonian (Groton School). Your news is well arranged and inter- estingly told. Other Exchanges received are The College Signal (M.C. A.,) and The Dartmouth. Totem (Lincoln High School, Seattle, Washington). Your cover design is excellent and very appropriate for the name of your paper. Your Ex- change Department is excellent. The Breccia (Deering High School, Portland, Maine). Why put your editorials in the back of the paper? Surely you are not ashamed of them? We would suggest that you put your editorial staff and editorials first. This is the usual order, and much more appropriate. Orange and Black (Marlboro High School). Your Class Notes are in- teresting and well told. Why not have some cuts for your various depart- ments? AS OTHERS SEE US. Tue Macner (Leominster Mass.). Your paper is very interesting, hav- ing a fine assortment of material.—7he Sguanicook Ripple.
