16 THE MAGNET yee V aS A most hearty welcome to all our friends, both old and new. During the coming year we sincerely hope to make the acquaintance of many others, and we hope to receive and return helpful criticisms in the same manner, as In previous years. The Blue and White, (South Bethlehem, Pa. High School). You have a very attractive paper, although we think that the arrangement of your differ- ent departments might be improved upon. Where is your Exchange column? The Student's Review, (Northampton High School). The commence- ment number of the Review was excellent; your Exchange column was ex- ceptionally good. The Hopkins Arms, (Hopkins Academy, Hadley, Mass.). A few cuts . for the various departments of your paper would be a great improvement. Why do you not criticize your exchanges instead of merely acknowledging them? The Oak, Lily, and Ivy, (Milford, Mass HighSchool). You have a well appointed paper, and the contents of your commencement number were especially good. The Orange Peals, (Orange, Mass. High School). The Peals is full of very interesting material. Your cuts are good, and the ‘ Will” of Class IgI3 was fine. The Picket, (Shepherd College, West Virginia). The Picket is a very in- teresting paper. The description of Green Knob, in the May issue, was particularly good, as was the poem entitled, ‘‘ Shepherdstown.” We failed, however, to find the Exchange column. The Record, (Newburyport Mass. High School). Zhe Recora is about the largest high school paper which we have received, and contains excel- lent material. Your graduation essays were remarkably well written. The College Signal, (Amherst, Mass.). Your paper is a very interesting one. We especially congratulate on having the largest entering class in the history of the college. Among the other exchanges received were: Zhe Quarterly Bulletin of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, and the Harvard Alumni Bulletin.

THE MAGNET 15 ney, who had the second largest number of votes for president, was made Vice-president, this being the decision of the class. Miss King- man was elected Secretary, and Miss R, Kittredge was elected Treasurer. The Class Marshal is to be elected at a future meeting of the class. we During the absence of Miss Cole, the shorthand and typewriting teacher, Miss Hapgood, 1913, was in charge of the typewriting room. Mr. Bell and Miss Smith took charge of the shorthand class. Mr. Bell had two classes at the same time, a pen- manship anda shorthand. We hope he didn’t overwork. x SENIOR LATIN Miss L., 14 (translating): Velum adversa ferit. ‘And struck the ship in the face.” wW We hear that Mr. Coburn has opened a nursery in Room Io for fifth period. Please apply in person for admission. 5 HEARD IN GERMAN II. Mr. ., (translating): Mann lernt mehr vom Lehrer als aus Buchern. ‘“One learns more about the teacher than books.” w The Junior Class elected their of- ficers this year by the Preferential Ballot, as did the Senior Class. The election was held in the physical lab- oratory and passed off successfully. 2 Howard Corkum, ’12, and Irving Smith, ’12, have entered Brown Un1- VErsity.7. JeOuis Littie,2 11, chas en- tered the University of Vermont, where he is playing on the football team. Maurice Smith, ’11, is a fresh- man at Dartmouth and is playing on the Dartmouth Freshman team. w If you hear something funny or interesting in your French, German, Latin, or even English, classes, why not write it up and putit in THE Macnet? Either drop it in THE MaGnet letter box, or give it to the editors, any one of them. It need not be only what you hear. Why not write some stories? THe Mac- NET is strictly a school paper, and must be supported by the student- body. The students should write stories for it. As the editor of the Bingville Bugle puts it, ‘We can’t run a paper on cold potatoze and hot air.” We have got to have some- thing else. The more stories you write the more chance you have of being an editor in your Junior or Senior year. The stories can be about most anything. Imaginative, vacation experiences and descriptive themes are all good subjects. w The Senior Class held a corn roast Sept. 14, which was enjoyed by about twenty couples. The party left the school at 7.15 and walked up Granite street where they ate roast corn, frankfurts, (with the skin) water- melons and toasted marshmallows. What they did after they had finished eating is unknown. The party came home about ten o’clock. All who went said that they had a fine time. Mr. Roberts and Miss Thissell were the chaperons.

THE MAGNIET 17 — ATHLETIC Within a very few days after the opening of school the football team commenced to practice. William Lane, who coached the team so success- fully two years ago, was appointed coach this year. wv Four members of last year’s team are to be found again this season, Captain Barrett, George Shields, Sherman Platt and George Merrick hav- ing made their ‘L.”” These men form the nucleus of a team, which under the skillful hand of Coach Lane, should do great things on the gridiron. 2 The first game of the season was scheduled for Sept. 27, but no team could be found for that date. ft fi evlem|{a wW Milford High School came up here on Oct. 4th, and we played our opening game. Neither'team put up much of a struggle, although L. H. S. got two touchdowns, and Milford one. The touchdown on the part of Mil- ford was allowed, owing to some error in the coaching of forward passes, the Leominster team making no effort to stop the Milford runner. Never- the-less the game showed up some of our weak points, and knocked some of the rough corners off the new and inexperienced players. The final score was 12 to 7 in our favor.
