16 THE MAGNET CHCHIARIGLS = THE MAGNET wishes to extend a cordial welcome to all of its old friends, it would also like to exchange with many new ones. Our paper will con- tinue the same spirit of friendly criticism, and we hope our Exchanges will receive us in the same manner. The first exchange to be received this year was the College Signal, from Massachusetts Agricultural College. Included in the list of students enter- ing the 1916 class, we find the names of three L. H.S. graduates: James Nicholson, William Jenna, and William Brazil. The Student's Review (Northampton High School, Northampton, Mass.). You have a very neat little paper, but your departments are rather brief. The essay, ‘The Children of Dickens,” is excellent. Why don’t you take advantage of those unoccupied advertising spaces and use them to boom your school activities? The Crimson (Du Pont Manual Training High School, Louisville, Ky.); You have an interesting paper. Your designs, cuts and headings, are very striking and appropriate, but the arrangement of your material could be improved. THE MAGNET acknowledges the receipt of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, the first number of which contains an interesting account of the Widener library.

THE MAGNET 17 o ATHLETICS Leominster High opened the Ig12 football season victoriously by de- feating St. John’s High, of Worcester, 13 to 0. Our team showed up re- markably strong in our first game, especially the line, for which they must give credit to Percy, the dummy. Since it was the first game of the season, several substitutes were tried out in different positions. They played like veterans, which argues well for a successful season. The line up: gt 5 Rae © ST.

The weather was appropriate for baseball, and the players suffered very much with the heat. It did not take long after the game started to notice that the Leominster boys could;play rings around the Worcester team. The line was like iron, and the backfield showed very much improvement over the previous game.
