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.
