24 THE EASTERNER Fhe Tripod, Hartford, Conn. We enjoyed the article in your last number “Smashamirror So—So on Feet- ball Sidelights,” and are eagerly await- ing another one. The Gleam, St. Paul, Minn. We notice that you do not devote very much space to your Exchange Depart- ment. As this is an important part of a school paper; let us suggest that you enlarge it. The Comet, Milwaukee, Wis. Your Christmas number is clever. The book, throughout, shows careful work. The Thistle, Toledo, Ohio. The coyer design of your December issue is very attractive. Your stories are good, but we liked especially, “Her Diary,” as it is a most unusual type of story for a high school paper. We ad- mire the way in which your Athletic Department is managed. The Canton High School Monthly, Can- ton, Ohio. The story “Takamuri, He Make Chrismas Shop—Shop,” was both clever and interesting. Let us have a few more from “Takamuri.” The Echo, Nashville, Tenn. Your paper is well gotten up but some good cuts for the several departments of the magazine would make it far more at- tractive. The Lawrence H. S. Bulletin, Lawrence, Mass. The stories in your December number are good, especially “The Least of These.” We suggest that you criticise more of your “Exchanges.” The Review, Washington, D. C. Why not devote a little more space to the criticism of your “Exchanges?” Then, too, more jokes and locals would greatly improve the paper. The Maroon and White, Alexandria, Va. Your cover is both neat and attractive, but why not make the contents of your paper more interesting by some good heading and cuts? The addition of a Joke Department also, would greatly help, for humor is a real necessity to a school paper. The Red and White, Chicago, Il. All the departments of the paper are well handled. The “Screech” is certain- ly worthy of notice as its material: is truly original. The Totem, Seattle, Wash. The cover of your Christmas number is very artistic. Your jokes were good in this issue. The Tattler, Kincaid, Kansas. We miss the “Exchange” column in your issue of December 24. You should certainly keep up this department as it does a great deal to keep a paper in touch with the papers of other schools. The Gold and Blue, Salt Lake City, Utah. Your Christmas issue is splendid. The prize stories are most interesting. Why not illustrate some of them? We have also received the following exchanges : The University Hatchet, Washington, DIG: The Pasco School News, Dade City, Florida.

26 THE EASTERNER Dramatics The Dramatic Society made a very good start on Thursday, December 23, when it presented the annual Christmas play. This was a scene in the Mer- maids Tavern representing Shakespeare Ben Jonson, and some of the former's company of players who rehearse a scene from Twelfth Night. The selection was very well presented and greatly enjoyed by all who were present. The first meeting of the New Year was held on Wednesday, January 12. We were particularly fortunate in having Mr. Arthur White address us on the subject of elocution and the best read- ing of Shakespeare. He illustrated his talk by quoting several passages from “As You Like It,” “Twelfth Night,” and “Romeo and Juliet.’ A short scene from “The Merchant of Venice” was presented, which Mr. White very kindly criticised for us. We appreciate Mr. White's talk and hope he can spare the time to visit us again and give us more advice in the near future. The Program Committee expects to give one or two scenes at each bi-weekly meeting of the Society, and it is to be hoped that the members of the club will co-operate with them in making the meetings profitable an enjoyable.

McGlasson,) Captain‘of Basket Ball Night’s Woodland Melody The lingering ray of parting day Dissolves in the dark’ning west; The hungry herd stallward wends its way, To munch its ray—and rest. A cheerful choir of chirping crickets Chirps their cadent call, That from the umber thickets Comes with soothing fall. The thrilling woodland note Of merry whippoorwill, Upon the balmy breeze doth float, O’er mead and rippling rill. Far from the town’s incessant din With the night's quaint sound I bend. The vibrant voice of my violin, While stars and moon attend. And then, within my heart’s domain, Echoes the soothing strain, Alleviating all my pain With such a rare refrain. Hucw Harris Hartey.
