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.

THE MAGNET ATHLE TIC S The football season is now in full swing, and from the present outlook the prospects for another championship team are very bright, although this years team has been severly handicapped at the begining of the season by the lack of a suitable coach to fill the position occupied last year by Mr. Watson. The team is now working hard making up for lost time under the direction of William Lane, the former Amherst star. Mr. Lane knows the game thoroughly, and is now busily engaged in trying to impart his knowl- edge tothe players. It is evident that there has been a heap of work in developing this year’s team, as only two of last year’s regulars are left How well Mr. Lane has succeeded in the task set for him may be judged from the results of the games played thus far. Ww It is sincerely hoped by all who are interested in this year’s team that the combined efforts of the entire student-body with those of the squad will succeed in materializing our fondest hopes, namely, the clean and decisive defeat of our old rival, Fitchburg, and the winning of the championship of the Wachusett Interscholastic League. At the first meeting of the Athletic Association a member of the faculty, Alberti Roberts, was elected manager, Peter R. Knapp, student manager, and Sidney Harris was elected assistant student manager. w ott. 9, 17 St. Joun’s H.S. o The first game of the season was played at home with the St. John’s High School of Worcester, on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Leominster had no difficulty in winning. St. John’s was outplayed throughout the game. ws i e..S.3 WoRCESTER P. I. 0 The second game was played with the second team of Worcester Poly- technic Institute, Saturday, Oct. 7. This team outweighed Leominster’s considerably, but was defeated by the superior speed and knowledge of the game displayed by Leominster.
