THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION EXCHANGES The comments which we have made cover only a very small portion of the magazines we have received but we appreciate the courtesy of all the edi- tors who exchange with us. The Megaphone , Dean Academy. Your alumni department is the most complete we have found in any of our exchanges. Couldn ' t you have a few more editorials? The Advocate , Needham, Mass. You have very commendable, humorous car- toons. The Red (end (hag, Lynn, Mass. The material you obtain for your paper is nothing short of marvelous! The Meteor, Berlin, N. H. Your pub- lication of an Industrial Edition is very novel and interesting. The Herald, Holyoke, Mass. Your club notes are your strong points. More jokes and class notes would improve The Herald. The Live Wire, Xewlmry, Yt. A very complete paper for its size. The Register, Burlington, Yt. We admire your exchange department es- pecially, although the whole magazine deserves much credit. The Record, Winchester, Mass. Your jokes are few. Where are your ex- change comments? Latin School Register , Boston, Mass. The various departments are very well taken care of, but we think a page of humorous class notes would be inter- esting. The Spaulding Sentinel, Barre, Yer- mont. The short story, “What Was It? A Mystery,” was in every way worthy of the prize it took. The Periscope, Bridgewater, Mass. There are some very interesting arti- cles in your Latin and French Depart- ments. Why not group all your ad- vertisements together at the end of the magazine? The Partridge, Duxbury, Mass. We enjoyed your short stories immensely. E. . S. Record, Boston, Mass. Your exchange column is one of the finest we have ever seen. The Minneivaslcan. The only fault we can find with your paper is the arrangement of the advertisements, but your exceedingly humorous “Chest Ex- pander, almost atones for it. The Imp, Brighton, Mass. We en- joyed your “Rhymes and Jingles” de- partment very much. The Profile, Plymouth, X. H. The Meteor, Bangor, Maine. The Beacon, Gloucester, Mass. Packer Current Items, Packard In- stitute. The Graphic, Amherst II. S. H. C. I. Scroll, Charlestown, Me. Student ' s Revieiv, Northampton. Mass. M. H. S. Review, Medford, Mass. The Laurel, Farmington, Me.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 13 School Activities H. M. S. PINAFORE The Glee Clubs certainly did “shine on the night of January 30tli. Such a production has never been seen and probably never will be seen again in the history of Arlington. It is true that this same production was given several years ago, but that performance included outside talent, while this year ' s cast was entirely of tin school— either members or graduates. The cast of principals is to be con- gratulated on their fine work. Dan Hooley carried off the character of an “English Lord” in an admirable manner. Carl Settele made a very efficient Captain Corcoran. Joe Ennis displayed the possession of a wonderful natural voice. We hope that Joe will develop his ' vocal powers to the best of his ability. Ken Call played up to the hard part of Dick Deadeye in a wonderful man- ner. We want to thank Anna Fellows (Pridham) for devoting her time and talent to the enrichment of the pro- duction. Mary Schrode made an entrancing Little Buttercup. Bob Thompson looked “cute” in his costume. Paul Corcoran, Bob Sproule and James Baston played minor roles to perfection. Alice Devine scored an encore with her “Sailor Hornpipe” dance. Her im- itation of Sir Joseph was especially clever and won her the applause of the audience. Joe Ennis and Anna were perhaps at their best in the duet “Farewell My Own,” but it is hard to pick their best piece. The remaining members of the Bovs’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs took the parts of Sir Joseph’s Sisters, Cousins, and Aunts. By an unfortunate mistake Carl Bin- nig’s name was followed by ’27. This should have been ’2 i. Marion Mortenson did a credible piece of work at the piano. The Business and Advertising end of the produceitno was taken care of by Mr. Robinson and Claude Higgins. Miss Sydnor was the Dramatic Coach and her coaching made a decided change in the conversations. Mrs. Stella Marek Cushing was Stage Director. And of course — Miss Pierce was Musical Director. The receipts were much more than anticipated and after paying all bills a considerable sum has been left for the Music Fund. C. A. II. CROSS COUNTRY Our harriers, the New 1 England Champions, were awarded with the varsity “A” and certificates bv the Athletic Association and presented with miniature silver track shoes by the local Post of the American Legion. The boys who received these rewinds were: Frank Vossahlik, ’25, Manager; John Walsh, ’25, Captain; “Jerry” O’Neil, ’26, Captain Elect; Ellsworth Brown, ’26; Roy Perkins, ’25; Roswell Eldridge, ’26; Del Everett, ’27; Cliff Merrill, ’26. “Jerry” O’Neil was then elected to lead the Red and Gray outfit to another victory in 1925-26.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 15 The number of comments on the Clarion that we have received shows us that we are “arriving,” and the edi- tors wish to thank all the papers who have helped us build up our exchange department. The other exchange editors have been very generous with comments this month; no doubt they will make up for it next month, but we will not trouble. According to these criticisms, we seem to have a pretty fair magazine, but remember there is always room for im- provement. The Clarion. The Class Notes have a different meaning from ours! Very clever, too ! The Clarion. We wish to state that your exchange plan is very commend- able and your cartoons good and num- erous. A finely arranged paper, not lacking in interesting material. — The Imp, Brighton II. S. The Clarion. Your paper is great. It is certainly on the road to perfec- tion. — Hi-Spirit, Enosburg Falls H. S. The Clarion. Your short stories are rather brief but keep up the good work. — The Kent ' s Hill Breeze-.. The Clarion. One of our new ac- quaintances. Your departments are all complete except the alumni. Try to enlarge it. — Spaulding Sentinel, Barre, Yl . The Clarion. We like Getting a Driving License,” it is realistic. The Joke Department is well handled. — The Student ' s Pen, Pittsfield, Mass. The Clarion. This is another of our j interesting exchanges. It shows co-op- eration plus school spirit. Your “Class Notes” are especially good. —Coburn Clarion , Waterville, Me. All due apologies to Lord Byron There is pleasure in the marshalless halls, There is a rapture in walking double tile ; There is society where no teacher calls Upon me to recite; From these afore I love not discipline the less, but free- dom more. Timely Eclipses The day you found out that all those F ' s didn’t stand for line. When Mrs. Moffat or Miss McCarthy finds you chewing gum. When you hear the one in front of you using your own special excuse. When you discover that the school doesn’t believe this “better late than never” stuff. Will a certain teacher tell us why boys are wiser than girls? As Others See Us! Found on a Sophomore paper: “The traffic squad are to be congratulated on their unobtrusiveness. There are only one or two aggressive persons who shout : — ‘Single file! Single file.’” Miss Jewett: What is one of the fastest horses, nowadays?” Picone: “Spark Plug.” Extract from Tennyson! E. Lane the fair. E. Lane the beautiful. E. Lane the lily maid of Astolat.
