The Dart At the Senior dance— The cuff—“ Wilt thou? The collar—“ I wilt.” Perhaps the jokes are old And should be on the shelf If you can do better Send in a few yourself.—Ex. There i$ a $mall matter which $ome of our $ub$criber$ have $eemingly forgotten. To u$ it i$ nece$$ary in our bu$ine$$. We are very mode$t and do not wi$h to $peak of it. $ $ $—Ex. Bessie W.—“ Are you fond of tea ?” Alvin S.—“Yes, but I like the next letter better.” The Seven Wonders of the Senior Class: 1 Marian Mills’ knowledge. 2 Joe Cook’s ability to keep a dispute going. 3 Dean Stanton’s unsusceptibility to feminine charms. 4 Harry Kochenderfer’s affinity for fudge. 5 Harry Wilkerson’s Latin translations. 6 Mary Houser’s quietness. 7 Emily Dunn’s nervousness. It is easy to be pleasant when life goes on like a song, But the man worth while is the man who can smile.

Above passage translated by Freshie—“Caesar sicked the cat on the cur, I guess he licked him.” Teacher in Latin class—“ Give principal parts of possum. Tower King:—“ Head, legs and tail.” 23

Exchanges Many exchange editors seem to have a false idea of the true meaning of an exchange column. We think the primary idea is to criticise fairly and honestly high school papers in order that such criti- cisms may raise the standard of such publications. Exchanges should be full of helpful suggestions and should not be merely a list of second-hand jokes. The difficulty seems to come thru the indifference on the part of exchange editors. The following exchanges have been received since our last number: The X-Rays, The Trident, The Voice, The O-High, The Spokesman, The Dragon, The Tiger, The High School Echo, The Forum, The Retina, The Oracle, The Polaris, The Messenger, The Arena, The Central Monthly, The Lyceum, The Lens, The Piquonian, The Sci- mitar, The Mirror, The Signal, The Daisy Chain, Jots and Blots, The Hamilton Review and the Rayen Record. The High School Forum has a very helpful exchange column. It is our idea of what an exchange column should be. The Voice, of Chicago, has an excellent literary department. The Omnigraph (Xenia) is a very interesting paper. The Lyceum (Chillicothe) is a splendid paper in many respects. It might be improved by expanding its literary department. The Central High School Monthly, a new exchange with us, has many excellent features. The Mirror (Lima) might be improved by separating the editorial and exchange departments. The High School Echo has reason to be proud of its December number. The cover-leaf is very appropriate. It contains also many good cuts. The Fram, of Sandusky, is a welcome exchange with us. The Dragon (Greenfield) has a very neat cover-leaf. The Trident (Hillsboro) contains no joke department of any kind. A column of this kind would increase interest in your paper. The O-High (Oberlin) has some interesting biographies of their athletes. This should tend to strengthen their school spirit in athletics. The Piquonian (Piqua) is making a good beginning. The first number contained many good things. 25
