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.

Read the exchanges! You will find them in the school library. Read them, and let us know, hy means of the Clarion Notes box, what you think of them. Com- pare your school magazine with others. The Clarion is a school paper, and we want the opinion of the school, not of two or three individuals. Read the exchanges! To THE Exchanges. 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. S.: “Wbat a large num- Irer of pupils you have this year! 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. I’m going to Brown on six.” — Ex. — o — - As We See Others. The Academy Student {St. Johnshury, Vt.). “A Sonnet” was unusually good for a school paper. Where is your athletic de- partment? 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.

He has been in the service since the earlier part of the summer, and is now a memher of the Marine Detachment on the L SS. St. Louis, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. “I am surelv glad to hear from you and through vou from the old town. Where are all the hoys? Odie, Steve, and all the rest? Have they all enlisted? What has become of Holde Baker? When you write me again send me all the ‘dope’ about them you can, to use patois. “About the Marines. Th e Marine Corps is peace time numbers 15,000 enlisted men, while at its full war strength it contains 30,000. “A marine recruit puts in from twelve to fifteen weeks of training as a regular infantry soldier, after which he can pick out his own line, for the marines have all
