THE CAERULEAN Uhr Mianahirknn In 1927 The Wissahiclconis content was radically chang- ed. This year was the time that the Campus Lantern first made its appearance. At that time The Wissahickon took over the literary efforts of the school. Thus, with all the efforts of the Board concentrated on the literary work, the quality has steadily improved. This year a new type of material has been submitted, the essay. This result proves the new emphasis stressed in the English courses on this subject. Writing essays involves more experience than writing a story, the style becomes more important. The quantity of poetry has increased. Sulchsvasti, Free- man, and Myers have all contributed excellent material. Fer- guson contributes his characteristic scientific fantasies, and Lippe, Editor of the Low-Brow column, contributes Hsavoir- faire stories with sophisticated humor, which approaches being a bit risque. On the whole, the Board believes The Wissahickon has been improved.

THE CAERULEAN Uhr Qlampna Ztlantrrn This year The Campus Lantern entered upon the fourth year of its existence. Under the capable direction of R. Montgomery Haines, the Editor-in-Chief, the paper has pro- gressed greatly. The circulation record for the past year was reached by the Football Edition with 700 copies. One of the changes made in this year's paper was, that Charles H. Lan- dreth, of the Class of '29, assumed the position of Alumni Editor, and under his capable editorship this column has be- come one of the highlights of the paper. Then, too, this year has seen the position of Lower School Editor transferred to a boy of the Lower School. All the boys vie for this honor by writing for the Lower School columns, and the one with the most number of points is given this coveted position. Among the new columns in this yearis paper were the Faculty Sketch, Good Evening, and Yesteryear. At the close of the first heelers' competition in January, Hyde, Barber, and P. Kurtz, were added to the Board. The second contest ends in June, when two or more members will be again added to the Board. The Lantern has once again been very fortunate in hav- ing such a man as Mr. Charles H. Williams as Faculty Adviser, and much of the success of the paper was due to his untiring efforts.
