We are sending copies of the November Clarion to thirty different schools. Please let us know what you think of our maga- zine and in what ways it may be improved. — o — Visitor at A. H.

How many are at work here during school hours?” Teacher: “Oh, I should say, at a rough guess, about one-lbird of them.” — o — Heard Somewhere. “I will be yours on one condition.” “Ah! that’s all right.

The Dean Megaphone {Franklin, Mass.) The athletic department in your Com- mencement number was splendid. Your magazine as a whole is very good, but tbe excbange department might be improved upon. As Others See Us. The Clarion is a very good magazine. You have a very large joke column, which we think is the real secret of a school magazine. The literary section of this publication is excellent. — The Academy Student. — o — • Cassar sic tlicat unde cur eggessit Retain. Translation: Caesar siked de cat on de cur.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION the lecture on “England’s Women in War Work.” Miss Kingman knew her subject thoroughly and spoke well. The slides were new, clear, and apropos of the pres- ent time. I hope that we may hear many more lectures as good, for this one was — though instructive — very entertaining. — 0 — ■ If you want to he rohhed of your good name, put it in an umbrella. — o — • The Clarion needs more subscribers.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 27 MILITARY DEPARTMENT Uncle Sam’s Representatives From Arlington High “T ze literature sent to France must be current, that is, new, lively magazines and leading papers” — Gen. J. J. Pershing. “Yes! Let us send the Clarion to Ar- lington High’s soldier boys. We want them to he reminded each month that we are thinking of them with pride, gratitude and affection.” — Mr. George Minard. — o — • This department, which is new and prob- ably original among school papers, has been started for the purpose of showing our interest in the hoys who have answered the country’s call. We shall endeavor to keep in touch with them and send them the Clarion each month, that they may know what is going on in their old school. News from home will brighten many dark hours, and when they have spare time to write and tell us their doings and little personal adventures ( providing the censor will permit them), we will print them in the Clarion each month. This will give the pupils a broader idea of what our hoys’ work consists of. Above you will find two statements, one of approval from Mr. Minard, which gives you very good reasons why this should he carried out, and the other a statement of General Pershing, telling what kind of lit- erature should he sent across. The Clar- ion, we feel, meets these requirements, and if it doesn’t it can be made to do so by your co-operation. This month a partial Honor Roll will be found, and a letter of great interest. Regarding the Honor Roll, we wish to say that many names that were handed in were incomplete, and we trust that neces- sary corrections will be made for next issue. Letters or any news items received by pupils from our boys will be gladly printed if they are handed in, or a small note will receive same attention. In addition to our students, we must not forget that we have lost two of our teach- ers, Mr. George I. Cross, who is now cap- tain of Co. F, lOlst Regiment Engineers, in France, and Mr. Fred J. Long, now of Battery F, 3()lst Light Field Artillery. We wish t hem and our fellow students the best of luck and a safe return. Charles L. Kennedy, ’17. — o — HONOR ROLL. ARMY.
